Compressed air engine for motor vehicle - has variable pressure air engine operating from compressed air reservoir reversed by moving camshaft

摘要

The variable pressure engine is connected to a high pressure air reservoir. The pressure is adjusted by the driver at the engine itself. Balanced valves avoid vibrations and a movement of the camshaft enables the engine to be reversed. Exhaust is at the end of the stroke and uses an exhaust valve. A turbine can be driven from the exhaust air, which can also be heated to increase the output. Hot water can be injected for the same purpose. The air reservoir can be in several parts.
