Supreme Internal Combustion Engine Design

Submitted 2 years ago

I have designed an internal combustion engine that fits into each rear wheel. It is essentially 2 pistons that travel in a circle that slam into the back of 2 more pistons to compress a charge of fuel and air to HCCI. In crankshaft engines you simply cannot achieve HCCI because there are timing event, but in my design there are no timing events. Combustion may spontaneously occur anywhere during the compression stroke and all of the combustion's force is converted to torque instead of the mere 35% of a crankshaft engine. This is because there are no oblique crankshaft geometries to contend with. It uses ideal principles of combustion physics to get get 4 times the power for each combustion compared to crankshaft engines which equates to 4 times the efficiency when driven normally. In my design there is no need to cool the engine. There is no valves, no oil, and no water. It can spin 40,000 rpm's. It only has 2 moving parts which are the pistons that travel in a circle, and the cylinders that spin in a circle also. The pistons spin in a circle one direction but not the other. They are on a one way sprag. The same goes for the cylinders that spin in a circle. As combustion occurs between them only one set at a time moves forward and the other set stops on their one way sprag (or, one way clutch). Whichever one is propelled forward grabs the output shaft. The intake charge of air and fuel comes in through the center and the exhaust is expelled out of the outter diameter of the wheel motor but then exits through the center on the inside of the wheel. This turns a turbo charger that spins an impeller type compressor on the the intake side of the wheel. It is possible to spool up the engines to 40,000 rpm's with all of the weight they possess and act as flywheels before you engage them to the rear wheels. This is "Super power" mode and is not used all of the time. As the engines turn, they are hooked up to a planetary gear system. The planet carrier spins freely until you slow it down with regenerative braking to engage infinitely variable ratios to the rear wheels. Where does the electricity get sent to that the regenerative braking on the planet carrier makes? It goes to electric wheel motors in the front wheels to balance traction between all four wheels. It is completely genius. Instead of batteries it has capacitors on board to capture and release 90% of the energy to re-launch the car, no matter how much it weighs, to the speed it was at before regenerative braking began. Current regen systems using batteries only retrieve 13%. Super caps last forever and batteries don't. The planetary gear system which is the continuously variable/infinitely variable transmission is also integrated into the rear wheels. The whole approach is very well thought out and should last a lifetime even fully abused. There's nothing to wear out and even the engagement of the transmission is always soft and smooth. Instead of gears with teeth I have designed a planetary gear system that employs flexible rings, or sleeves, that don't have teeth. Instead, you compress the the splined rings and insert the into the sun and the annulus rings. Imagine it like a roller bearing but the rollers are not solid. They are hollow like short pipes or sleeves. They get grip because they are splined parallel to the axis. They can run dry, quiet, and virtually forever. I have 3D modeled the whole thing over the course of a year but still requires some fundamental changes to run with absolutely no oil. Think of an Achates Power engine that moves in a circle instead of back and forth. Again, my approach works on truly ideal principles and is, I promise, supreme. Joseph Scott Tutor. Fri Nov 12, 2021.
