Alternative Engine Designs
I remember back in High School my Physics teacher showed us a video with an engine that claimed to have a significantly higher efficiency than the otto cycle. I can't find anything about it though as I don't remember what it was called.
The basic layout was the cylinders were arranged similar to those in a revolver pistol. The revolving cylinder was then connected to the load. It did not have a crank shaft, rather a "cam" at one end that the pistons road on. It also did not have valves or a conventional camshaft, instead it had fixed ports at the end opposite of the piston "cam".
Does anyone know the name of this engine?
