Schematic of downsized and supercharged four-stroke hybrid pneumatic spark injection engine. The injection of the additional air during transients can overcome the poor driveability usually associated with heavily downsized and supercharged engines, the team notes. The engine has two intake and two exhaust valves per cylinder.

The wave disc engine, a new implementation of wave rotor technology, was earlier developed by the Michigan State group in collaboration with researchers from the Warsaw Institute of Technology. The WDG also can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 95 percent in comparison to modern internal combustion vehicle engines.

Split-cycle engines separate the four strokes of intake, compression, power, and exhaust into two separate but paired cylinders. The compressed air is then transferred through a crossover passage from the compression cylinder into the second cylinder, where combustion and exhaust occur. The Scuderi Engine.

An adaption of cylinder de-activation technique called ECONAMIQ over-expansion can be applied to engines to improve fuel efficiency. Using the pressure from the exhaust gas from the active cylinders, the ‘idle’ cylinders could be expanded to extract more work out of the engine during partial load operation.

The new FOA supports the President’s EV Everywhere Grand Challenge, which seeks to make the United States the first country to produce a wide array of plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) models (including plug-in hybrids and all-electric vehicles) by 2022 that are as affordable and convenient as current gasoline powered vehicles we drive today.

It is believed that when fully developed with its turbo charged and air hybrid components, the engine will achieve significant gains in fuel efficiency - potentially making it the most significant advance since the Otto cycle more than 130 years ago. The event takes place from June 16-18 in Stuttgart, Germany.

Researchers at the Dalian University of Technology have proposed a novel method to control premixed charge compression ignition (PCCI) phasing in internal combustion engines in all load operations. It compresses the pressurized gas produced by exhaust gas turbocharger, comprising fresh air and exhaust gas introduced from the EGR valve.
