Internal combustion engine

摘要

The invention relates to an internal combustion engine of the type wherein there is associated with each working cylinder an additional cylinder communicating with the working cylinder and containing a piston which displaces a smaller volume than that of the working cylinder and co-operates with a crankshaft positively connected with the crankshaft of the working piston, which two crankshafts can be offset angularly relatively to one another, and in the said engine the frequency of rotation of the crankshaft co-operating with the piston of the additional cylinder is more than twice that of the crankshaft co-operating with the piston of the working cylinder and is preferably 3 times as great.
