| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The concept of the Internal Combustion Engine with Linear Generator(ICELG) which has no crank mechanisms was proposed and the engine can be operated with high efficiency in computer simulation. Two methods are useful in combustion stroke. One is to operate under minimized regeneration current fluctuation. The other makes long stroke minimizing internal energy of the cylinder. The Linear motor as compression stroke is stopped at the position from which the engine piston can move to top dead center without linear motor drive. The motor as two strokes of intake and exhaust are driven slowly against tiny back pressure. As these piston controls saves energy of generated electric energy in combustion stroke, ICELG has high efficiency. Here, strokes of combustion and exhaust do not need same strokes of intake and compression.It makes control method simple or easy. This shows advantage of ICELG compared with conventional engines as energy saving.
