Opposed piston engine with non-collinear axes of translation

An opposed piston internal combustion engine can include two opposed pistons (104, 110) moving reciprocally along respective axes of translation (202, 204) that are not collinear. First and second cylinder bores (502, 504) can be inclined to each other at an included angle (a). A combustion volume o...

More Information
Summary:An opposed piston internal combustion engine can include two opposed pistons (104, 110) moving reciprocally along respective axes of translation (202, 204) that are not collinear. First and second cylinder bores (502, 504) can be inclined to each other at an included angle (a). A combustion volume or chamber (114) can optionally be defined at least in part by crowns (102, 106) of the first and second pistons (104, 110) reciprocating in the first and second cylinder bores (502, 504), respectively. Related methods, systems, and articles of manufacture are described.
