In a conventional piston engine, each connecting rod provides a direct mechanical bridge between its piston and the ...

Both the reciprocating piston engine and the turbojet are internal combustion engines that perform intake, compression, ...

New developments will enable researchers, power companies and linear motor manufacturers to overcome existing constraints; PETRONAS Technical University an early adopter Oxford, UK, 19th February 2015 ...

The process of vortex ring generation and propagation has received substantial treatment in the literature. A common ring generation geometry consists of a piston moving through tube that exits into a ...

Free-piston engines represent a class of internal combustion machines distinguished by the absence of a crankshaft mechanism, enabling variable stroke length and compression ratio, with the piston’s ...

It is generally acknowledged that connecting rod geometry, particularly center-to-center length, can have a material influence on a variety of engine conditions. These include specific relationships ...

Crankshaft Change: With a piston fixed to its connecting rod and moving parallel to the cylinder walls, the Wiseman engine has lower friction than a conventional internal combustion engine. To convert ...

Friction slows equipment, wears components, and renders motion profiles unpredictable. One remedy for linear-motion friction is to use air bearings to carry normally contacting components while ...
