An internal combustion engine

摘要

Abstract An internal combustion engine which produces improved torque over known engines. The engine comprises a piston configured to move within a piston cylinder throughout a stroke cycle; a rotatable crankshaft comprising a crankshaft cam surface; a piston connecting rod pivotally connected to the piston; a crankshaft timing rod pivotally connected to the piston connecting rod at a conrod joint and to the crankshaft; a rocker arm configured to contact the crankshaft cam surface during its rotation cycle and to the conrod joint to move same to form a working crank angle between the piston connecting rod and the crankshaft timing rod when the piston is at its top dead centre (TDC) position and at its position of maximum displacement within the piston cylinder to slow the travel of the piston through the TDC and maximum displacement positions during the piston stroke for a predetermined angle of rotation of the crankshaft.
