The present invention relates to a reciprocating piston engine and to method for operating same, wherein a fuel explosion device operates when a piston reaches an orthogonal position between a connecting rod and a crankshaft or a position adjacent to said orthogonal position, to convert the linear motion energy of the piston into rotating motion energy of the crankshaft as much as possible. In addition, a pressure retaining device retains maximum compression pressure in a combustion chamber at a constant level until the operating point of the fuel explosion device, thus preventing incomplete combustion and expansion loss of fuel gas. Meanwhile, a piston elevating device controls the operation of a second piston arranged on a cylinder to optimize the maximum compression point and the maximum compression pressure of the combustion chamber. Further, a valve regulating device controls the shape of the cam connected to a valve to adjust the open/shut point and open/shut time of the valve in a convenient manner. |
