Abstract
The purpose of this study is to apply the internally geared hypocycloid mechanism to diesel engines for automobiles in place of a piston crank mechanism, and to produce the mechanism for the engine which realizes a low fuel cost, high efficiency and a clean exhaust gas. In this report, the opposed piston mechanism is designed for a horizontally opposed type 4-cylinder 4-stroke diesel engine and the possibility of the utility is examined in comparison with the corresponding practical engine. As a result, it is presented that the opposed piston mechanism is considered to be valid structurally for the above purpose.
