The bearings are mounted on the underside of the two inter-connected pistons, which maintain the desired bearing-to-trilobe clearance throughout the stroke. The expanded gas then forces the bearings down the ramps of the cams spreading them apart ending the stroke. Tags: Concept Engines Engines.

Concept: Downsized and Supercharged Hybrid Pneumatic Engine for 30%+ Reduction in Fuel Consumption

Green Car Congress

The injection of the additional air during transients can overcome the poor driveability usually associated with heavily downsized and supercharged engines, the team notes. In the pneumatic hybridization scheme, each cylinder is connected via a fully variable charge valve to a shared pressure tank. Dönitz et al. Source: ETH Zürich.

Concept: AET Reaches Final Development Stage of OX2 Barrel Engine

Green Car Congress

Each cylinder fires twice per revolution and two cylinders fire simultaneously, resulting in four times the output per revolution of a conventional four-stroke engine at the same displacement. The engine can be adapted to run any combustible gas or liquid as fuel. Tags: Concept Engines. OX2 in a test rig.

Libertine FPE builds demo prototype of linear free piston generator

Green Car Congress

Linear free piston engines can capture a much greater proportion of the energy contained in the fuel burnt, not only because the linear gas expander extracts electrical power directly from the expansion stroke, but also by optimizing the motion of the piston to improve combustion efficiency.
