Ball Piston Engine

The document describes a new type of engine called the ball piston engine. It has a simple design with fewer moving parts than conventional engines which results in high power-to-weight ratio, no valve train or water cooling system needed, and perfect dynamic balance. It works by using spherical ball pistons and novel kinematics to eliminate inertial loads and friction. The ball piston engine has the potential for higher efficiency than conventional piston engines.

Simpli c i t y o f d e s i g n b a s e d o n spherical ball piston enable a low moving part count, high power to weightratio, elimination of valve train and water cooling systems, and perfectdynamic balance.The new design concept utilizes novel kinematic design to completelyeliminate inertial loads that would contribute to sliding friction. Also, lowleakage is maintained without piston rings by using a small clearance ont h e b a l l p is t o n , r e s u l t i n g i n c h o k e d f l o w p a s t t h e b a l l .
