<p>An engine including an assembly of at least two cylinders (2 and 3) with different displacements, and two crankshafts (4 and 5) coupled at the same rotational speed via a gear train (19, 20, 21) and a variably timed transmission having three concentric shafts (17, 28, 32) separable from the drive assembly (18) and designed to reduce the compression ratio as the intake pressure increases. The highest and lowest compression ratios are set within the angular displacement limits between the two crankshafts (4 and 5) by means of the compression ratios between the two cylinders (2 and 3), and between said two cylinders (2 and 3) and the clearance space, so that (a) the start of the variably timed transmission stroke increases the translation of the piston (8) by units of angular displacement between the two crankshafts (4 and 5) at the end of compression phase, and (b) the end of the variably timed transmission stroke combines combustion gas expansion on the piston (8) at least from the maximum torque on the crank of the short-stroke crankshaft (5).</p> |
