The internal combustion engine (ice) is a heat engine where combustion of fuel occurs with an oxidizer (e.g., air) in a combustion chamber that is part of the fluid circulation loop. But is it possible this engine to run without the crankshaft?
In this video below You can see the concept prototype engine. The concept underlying engine is that a common axis, two cylinder module, including cylinders, cylinder heads and pistons of two-stroke Kawasaki engine 340. With the help of a number of commercially available spur gears and bearings in a “reducer” with a 2.0-in. stroke was designed to work with a 2.36-in. diameter donor motor.
A pair of planetary gear sets, the ring gear is held stationary, the ball bearings are connected with the reference to an opposing pair of planet gears. The relationship is a linear bearing connected to the shaft, mounted on the transport unit. The movement of the Shuttle then explained an Additional pair of linear bearings and fixed parallel shafts. The Shuttle Assembly carries the fixed rods and pistons.
This mechanism allows the purely linear motion of the pistons and connecting rods to be converted into rotary by entering one or both output shafts to the associated with the planet carrier to one revolution of the output shaft in each cycle of the piston.
Otherwise, the shaft may be changed to the associated sun gear to provide drive increases in the ratio of ring teeth to sun gear teeth and the shaft of the blower motor or generator, or to assist the turbocharger.
