ABSTRACT:
This disclosure relates to an adaptation of a conventional internal combustion engine wherein the customary energy losses in the form of heat are greatly reduced by the conversion of the heat into a power source for other cylinders of the engine. The engine includes plural cylinders of which certain cylinders are conventional internal combustion cylinders and there being a heated gas cylinder and a gas pumping cylinder whereby a gas may be heated by means of the heat loss generally occuring with respect to the internal combustion cylinder and this heated gas may be utilized to produce work in the heated gas cylinder, after which the gas is pumped back into the system by the pumping cylinder. The gas is preferably a combustible gas whereby gas which escapes past the pistons of the heated gas cylinder and the pumping cylinder into the customary crank case of the engine may be delivered into the internal combustion cylinder for burning therein.
