Before realizing the design of a hybrid pneumatic engine (HPE) in hardware, the researchers evaluated the different pneumatic engine modes (motor mode and pump mode) associated with both two-stroke and four-stroke implementations of the pneumatic concept. The hardware concept. Dönitz et al. Test bench setup. Dönitz et al.

A German company, vv-tec GmbH , is developing a compact piston-driven turbine—the Reinhardt Turbine, named after its inventor—that it says is a two-cycle (gas and steam) thermodynamic process machine that can be built with conventional components and can achieve efficiency of at least 60%. The engine components are contained within a sphere.

Each cylinder fires twice per revolution and two cylinders fire simultaneously, resulting in four times the output per revolution of a conventional four-stroke engine at the same displacement. The engine can be adapted to run any combustible gas or liquid as fuel. Tags: Concept Engines. OX2 in a test rig.

The expanded gas then forces the bearings down the ramps of the cams spreading them apart ending the stroke. This test regimen will take pressure readings taken from within the engine’s cylinder head, as well as multiple pressure sensor readings from within the manifolds. Tags: Concept Engines Engines.

This technology will allow researchers to develop future combustion engines free from the piston motion constraints dictated by the crankshaft. Already validated at proof-of-concept level, Libertine’s new hardware uses production-feasible component designs suitable for automotive hybrid powertrain modules, such as range extenders.
