ABSTRACT:
An improved, reciprocating internal combustion engine is disclosed herein. This engine consists of multiple cylinders, each closed by a cylinder head and containing a piston which is connected to a power output shaft. Each cylinder has means for the intake and exhaust of working fluid. It also contains a movable, thermal regenerator, an alternating flow heat exchanger, and means to move this regenerator. Finally, means are provided for the introduction of fuel into the cylinder. The regenerated, internal combustion, reciprocating engine and several variations on it disclosed herein are substantially different from prior art and provide critical improvements over that prior art. These improvements include different operating processes--especially an improved heating stroke, the use of unequal effective compression and expansion ratios, non direct fuel injection, and others.
