X-engine cycle The red line is a three lobe epitrochoid, which is the shape of the LiquidPiston's swept volume. The X-engine is a type of pistonless rotary engine manufactured by LiquidPiston of Bloomfield, Connecticut. The X engine is a hybrid cycle rotary engine.
A Fluidyne engine is an alpha or gamma type Stirling engine with one or more liquid pistons. It contains a working gas (often air), and either two liquid pistons or one liquid piston and a displacer. [1] The engine was invented in 1969. [2] The engine was patented in 1973 by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority. [3] [2]
The standard engine includes a muffler exhaust system and an intake air filter. The standard starter is a recoil start type, with an electric starter optional. An integral alternating current generator produces 12 volts. [1] The Rotax 532 was replaced in production by the improved Rotax 582 engine design. The 582 increased the cylinder bore ...
Another motorcycle with a rotary engine was Charles Redrup's 1912 Redrup Radial, which was a three-cylinder 303 cc rotary engine fitted to a number of motorcycles by Redrup. In 1904 the Barry engine , also designed by Redrup, was built in Wales: a rotating 2-cylinder boxer engine weighing 6.5 kg [ 3 ] was mounted inside a motorcycle frame.
A simple RKM rotary engine. The Rotary Piston Machine (German: Rotationskolbenmaschine (RKM)) is a proposed (still in development) form of machine. It can be used either to transform pressure into rotational motion (an engine), or the converse - rotational motion into pressure . It is still in development, but has possible applications in ...
The Wankel engine is a type of rotary piston engine and exists in two primary forms, the Drehkolbenmotor (DKM, "rotary piston engine"), designed by Felix Wankel (see Figure 2.) and the Kreiskolbenmotor (KKM, "circuitous piston engine"), designed by Hanns-Dieter Paschke [2] (see Figure 3.), of which only the latter has left the prototype stage ...
The 618 features liquid-cooled cylinder heads and cylinders with a rotary valve inlet and an exhaust valve. Cooling is via one or two externally mounted radiators. Lubrication is by use of pre-mixed fuel and oil at 50:1 or oil injection. The 618 has dual Ducati capacitor discharge ignition systems and is equipped with two piston-type ...
The Rotax 582 is a 48 kW (64 hp) two-stroke, two-cylinder, rotary intake valve, oil-in-fuel or oil injection pump, liquid-cooled, gear reduction-drive aircraft engine manufactured by BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co. KG. It is for use in non-certified aircraft operating in day visual flight rules. [3] Production of the engine ended at the end of 2021. [1]
