Method and apparatus for diminishing the consumption of fuel and converting reciprocal piston motion into rotary motion

摘要

An apparatus for converting between reciprocal piston motion and rotary shaft motion. A unique H-shaped piston rod configuration and corresponding cylinder assembly for improving the efficiency of internal and external combustion engines. A Stirling engine having improved efficiency due to the use of heat exchangers that are integral with the cylinder assemblies. A Stirling engine employing a novel means for rapidly varying power output.
