High pressure oil is used to intercool the piston and the cylinder walls and is used for lubricating the piston ring. This configuration will improve the engine efficiency and reduce emission and result in a low cost engine.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to improvements in an internal combustion engine. More particularly, the engine uses light weight pistons and where the piston moves linearly in the combustion cylinder that eliminates friction and side forces of the piston and eliminates the crankshaft.

2. Description of Related Art Including Information Disclosed Under 37 CFR 1.97 and 1.98

A number of patents and or publications have been made to address these issues. Exemplary examples of patents and or publication that try to address this/these problem(s) are identified and discussed below.

When the internal combustion engine is used as a four cycle engine with four cylinders where it uses four combustion units, each unit has a compressing combustion cylinder and a hydraulic cylinder where each piston of the two cylinders moves linearly and uses a gear and a pair of one-way clutches to extract the majority of the power to the output shaft, furthermore, a small crank shaft is used and the size of the crank shaft as much one quarter of the mass of an average crank shaft that would be used in a conventional combustion engine of similar displacement. This crankshaft operates the camshaft for exhaust and intake valves and for starting of the engine. The high pressure oil is used for intercooling the piston and the cylinder.

U.S. Pat. No. 3,584,610 issued Jun. 15, 1 971 to Kilburn I. Porter discloses a radial internal combustion engine with pairs of diametrically opposed cylinders. While the piston arms exist in a fixed orientation to the pistons the volume under the pistons is not used to pump air into the intake stroke of the engine.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,459,945 issued Jul. 17, 1984 to Glen F. Chatfield discloses a cam controlled reciprocating piston device. One or opposing two or four pistons operates from special cams or yokes that replace the crankpins and connecting rods. While this patent discloses piston arms that are fixed to the pistons there also is no disclosure for using the area under each piston to move air into the intake stroke of the piston.

U.S. Pat. No. 4,480,599 issued Nov. 6, 1 984 to Egidio Allais discloses a free-piston engine with operatively independent cam. The pistons work on opposite sides of the cam to balance the motion of the pistons. Followers on the cam move the pistons in the cylinders. The reciprocating motion of the pistons and connecting rod moves a ferric mass through a coil to generate electricity as opposed to rotary motion. The movement of air under the pistons also is not used to push air into the cylinders in the intake stroke.

U.S. Pat. No. 8,104,436 issued Jan. 31, 2012 to Gray Jr. Charles L. discloses a free-piston engine with the combustion engine that is couples to a hydraulic piston to produce hydraulic power that is used outside of the engine. High pressure oil is used in the hydraulic motor to extract the power that is created by the engine.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

It is an object of the engine to eliminate the side forces of the piston engine on the cylinder wall thereby reducing the friction of the engine.

It is an object of the engine to use a pair of one-way clutched and gears to convert the reciprocating linear motion of the pistons into rotary motion without side forces in the piston engine and crankshaft friction. The power in the piston will be nearly completely transferred to an output shaft, as compared to a conventional crankshaft where the power transfer is less than 65% of the power and compared to a free piston engine the power will transfer less than 70%.

It is an object of the engine to eliminate the complicated crankshaft and for this design to be less expensive.

It is an object of the engine to use a hydraulic piston in a hydraulic cylinder where the piston maintains linear movement of the combustion piston. The high pressure oil is used to intercooling the combustion piston and the intercooling of the combustion engine through the combustion walls and the lubrication of the piston rings; part of the high pressure oil is used in the radiator for cooling the oil. Where the high pressure oil that is not used to extract the engine power as most of the free piston engine.

Where the free piston is needed the motor to convert the hydraulic linear motion to rotational motion and makes more energy loss when compared to this engine design.

It is an object of the engine when it is used as a split cycle engine, two-combustion units and two compressor units. The combustion units are compressing, a combustion cylinder and a hydraulic cylinder and automatic exhaust valves that are controlled by the combustion piston and differential pressure of the hydraulic cylinder and no outside control and where the compressor units are compressing a compressor cylinder and it can be a larger size than the combustion cylinder for self-supercharging the combustion cylinder and where the air inlet valve is controlled by differential pressure of the hydraulic cylinder.

It is another object of the engine for when the internal combustion engine is used as a split cycle engine with a dual chamber cylinder engine for the engine to work as two cylinder units—four cycle engine where the cylinder unit compressing the upper cylinders are for a dual chamber cylinder and where the lower cylinder is used for a hydraulic cylinder and where the dual chamber use the upper chamber for as a combustion chamber and the lower chamber as for a compressor chamber. The engine comprises at least two cylinder units and where each unit is connected to each other with a gear shaft or a pair of one-way clutches by a piston gear rod. A small crank shaft is used for starting the engine and as an output shaft and where the exhaust valves and intake valves are operated by high pressure oil by using the hydraulic piston valve. This engine is automatically controlled by pressurized oil in the hydraulic cylinder in the engine and therefore does not need any adjustment or computer control, and where automatic mechanical fuel injector is used.

It is still another object of the engine to be the smallest and the most efficient and less expensive engine ever built.

It is still another object of the engine to reduce the heat temperature of the combustion cylinder by reducing the friction of the piston on the cylinder wall by using high pressure oil and this can lead the engine working at a lower temperature for combustion (LTC) and this is helpful for reducing engine output of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions, thereby reducing the need to consume additional fuel for exhaust after treatment and the crankshaft will reduce fuel consumption and reduce emissions.

It is another object of the engine for the engine to be use high pressure oil to intercool the piston and the cylinder walls. This can eliminate the need for exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and eliminate the need for a water pump, and for an oil pump.

Various objects, features, aspects, and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of preferred embodiments of the invention, along with the accompanying drawings in which like numerals represent like components.
