Method For Variable Displacement Engine
First Claim
1. The method of providing an internal combustion engine with one or more variable sized combustion chambers, comprisingproviding one or more pistons in one or more cylinders forming one or more combustion chambers,providing said one or more pistons with one or more piston connecting rods which are pivotably connected to said one or more pistons on a first end and to one or more floating pins on a second end,providing one or more crankshaft connecting rods pivotably connected to one or more rod journals on a crankshaft on a first end and to said one or more floating pins on a second end, andmoving the position of said crankshaft relative to said cylinders such that when the position of said crankshaft relative to said cylinders is changed, the operating characteristics of the engine are changed.

Abstract
The method of providing an internal combustion engine with one or more variable sized combustion chambers providing pistons in the cylinders forming combustion chambers, providing the pistons with piston connecting rods which are pivotably connected to the pistons on one end and to floating pins on the second end, providing crankshaft connecting rods pivotably connected to rod journals on the crankshaft and to the floating pins on a second end, and moving the position of the crankshaft relative to the cylinders such that when the position of the crankshaft relative to the cylinders is changed, the operating characteristics of the engine are changed.
