Internal combustion engine with adjustable compression ratio and mass of the fly wheel

Abstract

Abstract The subject of the present invention is a high-performance internal combustion engine with a compression ratio and rotating mass of the fly wheel which can both be adjusted during running. It consists of the combination of a single- or multi-cylinder combustion engine (1) including, firstly, a floating crankshaft (2) carried by pivoting bearings (4) actuated by a control shaft (9) with cams making it possible to vary the compression ratio during running, next, a flywheel (3) with variable mass by virtue of one or more parts which can be uncoupled during operation and finally, a desmodromic or electromagnetic springless intake and exhaust valve control. It is intended to equip vehicles of all types, such as automobiles, motor cycles and boats, as well as civil engineering vehicles, and in general, any device using a two- or four-stroke petrol or diesel, single- or multi-cylinder air- or water-cooled internal combustion engine. <IMAGE>
