ABSTRACT:
An engine structure and mechanism that operates on various combustion processes in a two-stroke-cycle without supplemental cooling or lubrication comprises an axial assembly of cylindrical modules and twin, double-harmonic cams that operate with opposed pistons in each cylinder through fully captured rolling contact bearings. The engine may comprise one or more pairs of axially symmetric cylinder modules which with their opposed pistons perform perfectly balanced reciprocating and rotary motions at all loads and speeds. The opposed pistons are double-acting, performing a two-stroke engine power cycle on facing ends and induction and scavenge air compression on their outside ends, all within the same cylinder bore.
