Patent Images
1. An internal combustion engine comprising a symmetrical floating differential multicomponent piston oscillating in a single multicomparment cylinder;
- said piston including a central double-faced piston portion, and two end piston portions spaced outwardly from said central piston and being smaller in diameter than said central piston;
said multicompartment cylinder having a central chamber in which said central piston portion oscillates, and two end chambers in which said end piston portions oscillate; and
suitable inlet and exit valved ports communicating each said chamber with outside of said multicompartment cylinder.
