Abstract: The paper describes about the green engine, which is one of the most interesting discoveries of the new millennium. It has
got some unique features when compared to other contemporary engines. This engine is one of the piston less with features like High
expansion ratio, strong swirling, sequential variable compression ratio, direct intake etc. The efficiency of this engine is very high and
also the exhaust emissions are near zero. The significance of the engine lies in the efficiency when the present world is facing some
serious problems regarding energy crisis. Various researches on this engine is being carried out and yet to find the demerits of this
engine. Generators have been produced by using green engine. Hence the GREEN ENGINE is the ENGINE OF FUTURE.

Keywords: pistonless, efficiency, exhaust, generators, future Engine.

2.2 Strong Swirling

As a tangential air duct in between combustion chamber and

compression chamber, a very swirling which could lost until
gas port is opened, can be formed while air is pumped into
the combustion chamber. Consequently, the air-fuel mixing
and the combustion process can have a satisfying working

burner rotates to position itself in front of the narrow exit.

3.5 Power

The expanded gas rushes out of the chamber through the

narrow opening, thereby pushing the name in the process.
The sudden increase in volume ensures that more power is
released. Or in other words, the thermal energy is fully
utilized.

3.6 Exhaust

As the thermal energy is fully utilized, the exhaust gases

bring along comparatively less heat energy. This mainly
helps in the thermal efficiency of the engine. It raises the
engines thermal efficiency and also because of the complete
burning of the charge, poisonous gases like CO are absent in
the exhaust emissions.

4.4 Multi-fuels

Due to six phases of working principle, super air fuel mixing

process and constant volume combustion with controllable
time, the Green engine becomes the only real multi-fuel
engine on our planet; any liquid or gas fuels can be burnt
well. Also it would be ideal to coal powder if special anti-
wearing material is employed.

4.5 Smooth Operation

Due to inherence of good dynamic and static balance the

performance of the Green engine is as smooth as an electric
motor.

4.6 Quietness and Low Exhaust Temperature

Burst out under small amount of mixtures, free of vibrations,

and high expansion ratio make the Green engine much
quieter. It is really environment-friendly. Green engine
vehicles could transport troops on the battlefield of the
future, and could serve as a vital source of auxiliary power
in combat. This is because these engines are quiet, flexible
and operate at low temperature, making them ideal for use in
stealth vehicle.

4.7 Low Cost

Limited parts, small in size, light in weight and depending

upon current mature materials and manufacturing
technologies, mean that it would be done at much lower cost
on manufacture, transportation, installing to other devices,
and maintenance
