<p>Gas is expanded and compressed simultaneously in two chambers for half of the cycle and moves the gases through a heat exchanger (17) in opposite directions so heat from the hotter expanded gas exiting expansion cylinder (101) is progressively transferred to the cooler compressed gas exiting compression cylinder (127) before adding the heat of combustion internally in incandescent combustion space (38) or externally, through heater (69). This sequence provides a four stroke cycle and one power impulse every revolution of the crankshaft (121).</p> |
