...I asked about this on page 1 and no-body replied
it would make sense, a two-stroke needs some kind of pump for scavenging you might as well use the backside
of the piston. And in this case the piston can have different area front and back so you can up the pressure
Sorry Callum I am getting old and I no longer read all the threads right through, lazy I know.
With the linear motor/generator with instant control over load, it becomes possible to recover much more of the energy and to store or use it more efficiently.
It is an ideal primary power source for my ESERU power train which uses electric shifting and electric energy to drive the car and recover kinetic energy.
Using the air spring to supply air to the inlet ports would make full use of the compressed air instead of wasting it as excess heat.
Using my ESERU would negate using complex throttling of the linear motor and it would become a simple matter to control its output in electricity by increasing load to electrical storage and balancing this with directly driving the ESERU through to the road wheels.
Controlling fuel flow, strokes per minute and the volume and pressure from the air spring would be a simple matter using control over electrical load as the primary control.
I would love to be working on such a project.
