The floating piston VCR engine is an entirely new approach, to the design, of Internal combustion engines. It is simply changing the use of the valves, in existing engines,
which can be done in simple workshops, all over the world.
The sub assembly is retained, with slight modifications. The complex cylinder head is replaced with a flat based head, fitted with a floating piston, that could be made by any competent mechanic.
The concept cannot be faulted. It will DOUBLE THE POWER, WITH HALF THE FUEL
And is offered FREE to everyone interested.
Millions of new Jobs and industries will be created. The modification applies to all makes and sizes of I/C engines from the smallest models to the greatest ocean liners.
Halving the fuel consumption will reduce the pollution due to internal combustion engines by 50%.
AIR is the medium that does all the work. When heated it expands tremendously.
In I/C engines, at the end of its stroke, the pressure applied has been used up, and only the heat is left. But heat is energy, and it is thrown away. Our VCR engine uses the high
Temperatures to heat extra air. This cannot be done in normal I/C engines.
Extra AIR, can only be added, after combustion has taken place. This is done with the re-arrangement of the duties of the valves, and with the aid of the floating piston.
The four cylinder engine shown in the accompanying “VCR Plan”, shows how this arrangement will work. The outside cylinders have the duty of simply pumping AIR,
And use reed valves that operate automatically. The inside working cylinders, operate
As partners, with the pistons moving up and down together. But they need poppet valves as they have to deal with high temperatures. They also operate automatically, and it means the engine will be able to operate at higher speeds.
All I/C engines need combustion chambers, for every cylinder, where the work is done.
The sizes are fixed, for the different duties required. But that is a major problem. There
Is always a certain amount of gas left behind in all the combustion chambers, which prevents the pistons from working efficiently. Our VCR engine Provides a combustion chamber, under the floating piston, that varies in size, from zero, to a compression ratio of 10:1 or more. The floating piston, is also used to completely empty the combustion chamber on every stroke.
In normal I/C engines the pistons have two jobs to do. They have to pump the air, and
And they have to do the work. Whilst they are pumping, the working has to wait, and whilst they are working, the pumping has to wait. For increased efficiency those two functions have to be separated. This is done in our VCR engine where the floating piston sits on the cylinder walls, separating their contents until the floating piston is lifted off its seat.
It is then, that AIR and the combustion gasses are mixed together. The pressures developed depend upon the amount of extra AIR supplied. So extra power is developed by adding more AIR. Adding AIR to a fire Increases the pressure, and power,
But actually lowers the temperature. So the engines will run cooler, and not need
Sophisticated cooling systems. The amount of AIR that can be supplied is dependent upon the size of the engine. And extra gas can be introduced by adding small quantities
Of water. Water when converted to steam increases in volume by 172 times. So a few drops of water can be used to add extra “gas or Air”.
The formula for the power of I/C engines is
BMEP x size (in litres) x rpm :- 60 = Kw. ( two stroke engines )
Assuming the BMEP to be 1.5.
So 1.5 x 1.2 x 8000 :- 60 = 240Kw. Or 384 bhp.
The output from a normal 2.4 litre four stroke engine is approx. 75bhp.
In time the above claims will be accepted or rejected by the motoring world. What part will you be able to play?
