Abstract
A cam operated internal combustion engine of piston type positive displacement variety, having novel piston-to-cam connecting means. The pistons are cam operated to optimize the aspiration, combustion and expansion process. Executed in axial and radial cam versions, with alternatively a two cycle, four cycle or novel three cycle mode of operation. The arrangements provide advantages in manufacturing and construction, as well as improved thermal efficiencies.
