Arc engine is a type of reciprocating engine with pistons arranged around an output shaft with their axes perpendicular to the crankshaft. The cylindrical shape of the cylinder group (the result of the pistons being spaced evenly around the middle and aligned perpendicular to the crankshaft axis) whilst to the shape of the crankshaft. The key advantage of this design is that the cylinders are arranged in parallel to each other and the perpendicular output/crankshaft in contrast, this type having cylinders at right angles to the shaft. As a result, it is a very compact, cylindrical engine, allowing variation in the compression ratio of the engine while running. The small-end bearing of a traditional connecting rod, one of the most problematic bearings in a traditional engine, is eliminated. This design replaces the plate with one or more Sinusoidal cam surfaces. Cams mounted parallel to a shaft mounted inside. In effect, these spaces serving the same purpose as the cylinders of an IC engine, and the sinuous cam surface acts as the face of the pistons. In other respect this form follows the normal cycles of internal combustion but with burning gas directly imparting a force on the cam surface, translated into a rotational force by timing one or more detonations. DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF ARC ENGINE CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION An internal combustion engine is a heat engine where the combustion of a fuel occurs with an oxidizer in a combustion chamber that is an integral part of the working fluid flow circuit. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high-temperature and high-pressure gases produced by combustion applies direct force to some component of the engine. The force is applied typically to pistons, turbine blades, rotor or a nozzle. This force moves the component over a distance, transforming chemical energy into useful mechanical energy. The internal combustion engine usually refers to an engine in which combustion is intermittent, such as the more familiar four-stroke and two-stroke piston engines, along with variants, such as the six-stroke piston engine and the Wankel rotary engine. The second class of internal combustion engines use continuous combustion: gas turbines, jet engines and most rocket engines, each of which is internal combustion engines on the same principle as previously described Firearms are also a form of the internal combustion engine. In contrast, an external combustion engine, such as steam or Stirling engines, energy is delivered to a working fluid not consisting of, mixed with or contaminated by combustion products. Working fluids can be air, hot water, pressurized water or even liquid sodium, heated in a boiler. ICEs are usually powered by energy-dense fuels such as gasoline or diesel fuel, liquids derived from Petroleum. While there are many stationary applications, most ICEs are used in mobile applications and are the dominant power supply for vehicles such as cars, aircraft, and boats. Typically an ICE is fed with Petroleum like natural gas or petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel or fuel oil. There is a growing usage of renewable fuels like biodiesel for CI (compression ignition) engines and methanol for SI (spark ignition) engines. Hydrogen is sometimes used and can be obtained from either Petroleum or renewable energy. DEPARTMENT OF AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING, NHCE Page 1 DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF ARC ENGINE An Arc engine has multiple cylinders arranged around and perpendicular to a pivotal shaft, like the chambers in the cylinder of a revolver. The piston thrust is usually converted to grail motion by an L-crank mechanism. The claimed advantages for this engine format were low frontal area (salient for powering supercars) very good balance and great stratum. On the downside, there are spur gear mechanisms. The Arc IC engine was a development of the cylindrical acclimatization of Engine. No IC engines have achieved any sustained success in theory at 60 degrees. It has been designed to work with the odd number of the cylinder such as 9 or 7 as of the original concept. In operation, these typically generate HP by accelerating a relatively small amount of air to very high speed. The original cooling system has been replaced by star shape turbo caps because they have ameliorated cooling efficiency. At medium speeds, where the crankshaft from all cylinders is no longer required, fuel efficiency increases. The cylindrical acclimatization is quieter and has ameliorated range-specific fuel consumption than the regular IC engine. Arc engine can be highly efficient for supercars. Figure 1.1- Arc Engine prototype This engine is a kind of a grail; the cylinders and crankcase revolved, while the crankshaft remains stationary. This is the IC engine in that use a star shape crankshaft. Instead, each DEPARTMENT OF AUTOMOBILE ENGINEERING, NHCE Page 2 DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF ARC ENGINE cylinder drove a small crankshaft, with spur gears at the inner end of each shaft engaging with a large gear on the pivotal output shaft; power output was taken from the crankcase end. The propeller speed was thus reduced to half of the crankshaft speed according to power requirement. Arc name is given due to the firing order given as per dynamic balancing of the engine.

  • The “Michell” Crankless Engine – Why Was It Not a Commercial Success?
    The Piston Engine Revolution The “Michell” Crankless Engine – Why was it not a commercial success? John A. Anning At the beginning of the twentieth century, when the internal combustion engine was being developed for automobiles and aircraft, some designers arranged for the cylinders to be parallel to the output shaft. These became known as axial or barrel engines. They utilised either the swash plate or wobbleplate principles. The most promising was the Michell Crankless Engine, which was patented in 1917. AGM Michell FRS (1870-1959) was an Australian engineer best known for the design of the “Michell” tilting pad thrust bearing, patented in the UK and Australia in 1905. By the end of WWI Michell was a wealthy man from royalties and applied the tilting pad principle to an axial engine. The principle was first applied to compressors and by 1920 the first IC engine was made. An advantage is that perfect primary and secondary balance can be achieved at all rotational speeds. Michell formed Crankless Engines (Australia) Pty Ltd. A number of engines were built and installed in existing production vehicles. He realised that for the future commercialisation an overseas involvement was essential so offices were opened in London and New York. The Michell crankless principle still remains the most efficient method of converting linear into rotary motion. By the late 1920s with the world depression the Australian company was forced into receivership. A business analysis is given as to the possible reasons for its failure to achieve commercial success. It deserves its place in the panoply of IC engine history.

  • Jennings: Two-Stroke Tuner's Handbook
    Two-Stroke TUNER’S HANDBOOK By Gordon Jennings Illustrations by the author Copyright © 1973 by Gordon Jennings Compiled for reprint © 2007 by Ken i PREFACE Many years have passed since Gordon Jennings first published this manual. Its 2007 and although there have been huge technological changes the basics are still the basics. There is a huge interest in vintage snowmobiles and their “simple” two stroke power plants of yesteryear. There is a wealth of knowledge contained in this manual. Let’s journey back to 1973 and read the book that was the two stroke bible of that era. Decades have passed since I hung around with John and Jim. John and I worked for the same corporation and I found a 500 triple Kawasaki for him at a reasonable price. He converted it into a drag bike, modified the engine completely and added mikuni carbs and tuned pipes. John borrowed Jim’s copy of the ‘Two Stoke Tuner’s Handbook” and used it and tips from “Fast by Gast” to create one fast bike. John kept his 500 until he retired and moved to the coast in 2005. The whereabouts of Wild Jim, his 750 Kawasaki drag bike and the only copy of ‘Two Stoke Tuner’s Handbook” that I have ever seen is a complete mystery. I recently acquired a 1980 Polaris TXL and am digging into the inner workings of the engine. I wanted a copy of this manual but wasn’t willing to wait for a copy to show up on EBay. Happily, a search of the internet finally hit on a Word version of the manual.

    ENRESO WORLD - ILab Different Car Engine Types Istas René Graduated in Automotive Technologies 1-1-2019 1 4 - STROKE ENGINE A four-stroke (also four-cycle) engine is an internal combustion (IC) engine in which the piston completes four separate strokes while turning the crankshaft. A stroke refers to the full travel of the piston along the cylinder, in either direction. The four separate strokes are termed: 1. Intake: Also known as induction or suction. This stroke of the piston begins at top dead center (T.D.C.) and ends at bottom dead center (B.D.C.). In this stroke the intake valve must be in the open position while the piston pulls an air-fuel mixture into the cylinder by producing vacuum pressure into the cylinder through its downward motion. The piston is moving down as air is being sucked in by the downward motion against the piston. 2. Compression: This stroke begins at B.D.C, or just at the end of the suction stroke, and ends at T.D.C. In this stroke the piston compresses the air-fuel mixture in preparation for ignition during the power stroke (below). Both the intake and exhaust valves are closed during this stage. 3. Combustion: Also known as power or ignition. This is the start of the second revolution of the four stroke cycle. At this point the crankshaft has completed a full 360 degree revolution. While the piston is at T.D.C. (the end of the compression stroke) the compressed air-fuel mixture is ignited by a spark plug (in a gasoline engine) or by heat generated by high compression (diesel engines), forcefully returning the piston to B.D.C.
