<p>An internal combustion engine as described with a zero degree angle formed by the cylinders in which the pistons actuate various cranks of a crankshaft, the bends of which are offset at an angle in relation to one another in such a way that there is a total matching of the second-order inertial forces. The angle of offset α between the two cranks is 270 degrees. In a further development of the invention, two such internal combustion engines can be arranged in series to form a four-cylinder internal combustion engine. The drawing of figure 1 shows the axes of the first and second cylinders denoted as (1) and (2), which lie in one and the same plane. The pistons (3 and 4) actuate via connecting rods (5 and 6) the cranks (7 and 8) of a crankshaft, the axis of which is denoted by 9. The angle between the bends of the cranks (7 and 8) is denoted by α and is 270 degrees. The arrow (10) shows the direction of rotation of the crankshaft. Figure 2 shows a diagram of the second-order forces of inertia (P) of the first and second cylinders for the corresponding crank positions ζ and their counterbalancing.</p> |
