Abstract
Abstract The machine comprises one cylinder in which two symmetrical opposed working pistons are placed. A gas-oil introduced between the pistons burns and causes a reciprocating motion of the working pistons against the return motion of two resilient devices. An energy is produced thereby and is extracted without mechanical connections. The mass of the working pistons ranges between 5 and 30 grams per cm 3 of the cylinder. The quantity of gas-oil ranges between 0.01 and 0.02 milligram per cm 3 of the cylinder. The resilient devices are effective for accumulating and sending back upon each reciprocating motion thereof a power ranging between 0.5 and 2 joules per cm 3 of the cylinder.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
The method of operating an internal combustion engine, comprising, reciprocating two pistons in a cylinder toward and from each other, admitting air to said cylinder and injecting between 0.01 and 0.02 milligrams of gas oil into said cylinder between said pistons, compressing the mixture of air and gas oil between said pistons as they approach each other to initiate combustion of said mixture at a temperature higher than 1200° K. for about one millisecond, moving said pistons in opposite directions in said cylinder by said combustion and compressing resilient means by said outwardly moving pistons to provide 0.1-0.2 calories per cm 3 of the maximum cylinder volume, and accumulating in said resilient means 0.5 to 2 joules per cm 3 of said maximum cylinder volume.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
125 words
The method of operating an internal combustion engine, comprising, reciprocating two pistons in a cylinder toward and from each other, admitting air to said cylinder and injecting between 0.01 and 0.02 milligrams of gas oil into said cylinder between said pistons, compressing the mixture of air and gas oil between said pistons as they approach each other to initiate combustion of said mixture at a temperature higher than 1200° K. for about one millisecond, moving said pistons in opposite directions in said cylinder by said combustion and compressing resilient means by said outwardly moving pistons to provide 0.1-0.2 calories per cm 3 of the maximum cylinder volume, and accumulating in said resilient means 0.5 to 2 joules per cm 3 of said maximum cylinder volume.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, in which the outwardly moving pistons act on a liquid as the resilient means.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
21 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, in which each piston energizes an inductor in the cylinder to generate electrical energy.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
214 words
A non-polluting heat machine with internal combustion, comprising in combination at least one cylinder with intake and exhaust apertures, and in which are moving two symmetrical working parts constituting opposite pistons designed to compress under the return impulse of two resilient devices a combustible mixture introduced into the cylinder in order to produce an effective energy under the action of the burnt gas with combustion temperature being kept higher than 1200° K. for small time duration of about 1 millisecond which makes nitrous oxides minimal due to small duration of time of the high temperature and through a reciprocating motion of said working parts, wherein said energy is extracted without the presence of any positive driving elements connected to the pistons, said pistons having a mass ranging between 5 and 30 grams per cm 3 of the cylinder volume computed at its maximal value when the working parts obturate the intake and exhaust apertures, the quantity of fuel injected upon every cycle at maximal power providing 0.1-0.2 calories per cm 3 of said maximal cylinder volume value and the return resilient devices for the working parts being provided to accumulaate and send back upon every cycle a mechanical energy comprised between 0.5 and 2 joules per cm 3 of said maximal cylinder volume value.

Claim 7
Dependent Claim
47 words

Claim 8
Dependent Claim
67 words
A non-polluting heat machine in combination according to claim 4, wherein an inductor is placed on the cylinder and there is a lamellar metal mass as machine operating components supported by each piston so that the effective energy is an available electrical power which is produced by the reciprocating motion of said lamellar mass supported by each piston in front of said inductor placed on the cylinder.
