ENGINE WITH EXTERNAL HEAT SUPPLY Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; external combustion engine. SUBSTANCE: in proposed engine one of heaters and above-piston space of cylinder communicate through channel overlapped by wall of piston at a height of 0.7-0.85 of piston stroke from BDC. Mechanism converting reciprocating movement of piston into rotary movement of outputs shaft is made in form of planetary reduction gear connected with piston through rod. Diameter of planet pinion of planetary reduction gear is twice as small as diameter of epicure. Plant pinion is installed on carrier with radius equal to radius of planet pinion. EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities. 1 dwg
