 THE BALL PISTON ENGINE

ABSTRACT

A Patented new power machine concept has been designed and analyzed
for production, and proof of principle sub scale tests have been performed,
with positive result. The machine design concept is applicable as a
compressor, pump, motor, or engine. Simplicity of design based on
spherical ball piston enable a low moving part count, high power to weight
ratio, elimination of valve train and water cooling systems, and perfect
dynamic balance.

The new design concept utilizes novel kinematic design to completely

eliminate inertial loads that would contribute to sliding friction. Also, low
leakage is maintained without piston rings by using a small clearance on
the ball piston, resulting in choked flow past the ball. These features
provide the potential for an engine with higher efficiency than
conventional piston engines. The engine design - utilizes existing recent
technology to advantage, such as silicon nitride ball pistons, so a large
development effort is not required.

INTRODUCTION

The ball piston engine is a new concept in high efficiency power

machine. Although the basic geometry was invented by individuals, the
concept has been subsequently studied and developed by scientists and
professional engineers.

The machine concept is attributes to simplicity. Having only a small

number of moving parts, the design implements a modified version of the
tried and proven thermodynamic otto cycle when use as a engine. Although
the small parts count an important advantages, other than the ball piston
engine will give future engineers new- found freedom in tailoring the
combustion processes.

TYPES OF ENGINE

 A multienergy domain engine (model)

 Wankle to stroke rotary ball piston engine

CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI ENERGY DOMAIN ENGINE

(MULTISTROKE ROTARY BALL PISTON ENGINE MODLE)

A multi energy domain engine stimulation model was developed for

efficiency studies. The model was based on the equation of motion (1).
Approximate models working gas thermodynamics, coulomb friction and
ball piston leakage were include.

The multienergy (multi cylinder) domain engine consist of the

number up to 8to12 in which the ball piston enclosed each cylinder
