The free piston engine, a design with opposed pistons working against compressed air springs and combining both compression and firing strokes in a single axis, doesn’t turn anything in itself ...

Basically the engine is two opposed pistons pushing each other back and forth. One past use of the design was as an air compressor where each piston was connected to a compressor cylinder.

While most engines made in the last 100 years have adhered to the standard single-piston per-cylinder design, the TS3, also known as the "Commer Knocker," is an exception. The opposed-piston ...

What it has developed is an opposed-piston, two-cycle, compression-ignition engine. “It’s cleaner, more efficient [and lower cost]… than anything else on the market,” said Johnson ...

Rootes TS3 Opposed-Piston Diesel (1954 To 1958) Ever heard about opposed piston engines? It's a concept often used to manufacture large locomotive and marine engines, where two pistons face each ...

Experimental analyses have also been conducted on opposed-piston free piston engine generators (FPEGs), which have shown promising results in terms of energy conversion efficiency and power density.

The design sketch shows two horizontally opposed pistons; an engine design that has earned the ‘boxer’ title because of its visual similarity to two boxers tossing punches. Rather than a crank ...
