Start-up Eco-Motive developing dual-fuel “H” engine; parallel, independently fueled piston banks

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 1, 2014

The H-engine—basically two separate engines housed within the same engine block—comprises two switchable parallel piston banks, independently fueled by gasoline and CNG. Startup Eco-Motive has developed what it calls the first dual-fuel “H” engine; it recently received a patent (# 8807098 ) on the design.

Libertine FPE builds demo prototype of linear free piston generator

Green Car Congress

APRIL 17, 2015

UK-based Libertine FPE has built a demonstration prototype of its linear electrical machine for what it is calling “Digital Piston Motion Control” in free piston engine applications. This technology will allow researchers to develop future combustion engines free from the piston motion constraints dictated by the crankshaft.

Dalian team proposes jet controlled compression ignition to control PCCI phasing in a hybrid pneumatic engine

Green Car Congress

DECEMBER 30, 2015

However, the control of combustion phasing is one of the crucial issues in determining whether the diesel PCCI engine could be commercialized or not. Considering the thermal efficiency and combustion efficiency, the air jet pressure should be designed as low as possible in the circumstance that the autoignition can occur.
