ABSTRACT:
An opposed piston internal combustion engine includes a rotary shaft provided with a first and second swash plate, each inlined relative the axis of the shaft at equal but opposite inclinations. The shaft is mounted for rotation in a frame on which at least one cylinder is fixed in parallel alignment. A first set of pistons on the ends of a tubular post is fitted in the cylinder with a central rod extending coaxially through the post and the first piston set. A second set of pistons is then fixed to the ends of the rod. Both the rod and the post engage the respective swash plate peripheries, and are thus reciprocated in opposition as the shaft is turned. In this manner the gas mixture between the piston sets at one end is compressed while the mixture at the other end is ignited.
