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.
The Mikulin M-17 was a Soviet-licensed copy of the German BMW VI V-12 liquid-cooled aircraft piston engine, further developed by Alexander Mikulin and used by Soviet aircraft and tanks during World War II. Production began in 1930 and continued until 1942.
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 Rolls-Royce Merlin is a British liquid-cooled V-12 piston aero engine of 27-litre (1,650 cu in) capacity. Rolls-Royce designed the engine and first ran it in 1933 as a private venture. Initially known as the PV-12, it was later called Merlin following the company convention of naming its four-stroke piston aero engines after birds of prey ...
The M-105 was the first Klimov V-12 engine design to use reverse-flow cylinder heads, forcing the induction system to be placed on the outside of the cylinder banks, with the exhaust system also exiting from the outboard side, with twin sets of "siamesed" exhaust ports adjacent to each other. About 129,000 M-105 and its variants were built.

The Allison V-1710 aircraft engine designed and produced by the Allison Engine Company was the only US-developed V-12 liquid-cooled engine to see service during World War II. Versions with a turbocharger gave excellent performance at high altitude in the twin-engined Lockheed P-38 Lightning , and turbo-superchargers were fitted to experimental ...
The engine was installed in a 18 ft 6 (5.6 m) diameter and 50 ft (15.25 m) deep steel caisson, about 40 ft below the Delaware river. Air was supplied to the engine at this depth through a compressor. The pump underwent endurance tests 8 hrs a day in 1925 – 27 before switching to 24 hrs a day with water at head of 150 ft for weeks in 1928.
