The perfection of the internal combustion engine has been sought for almost 150 years. In the process, some innovative and downright odd designs have emerged. • Granada, Spain-based INNengine has developed an innovative opposed piston design that does away with crankshafts, replacing them with rotary cam tracks, the pistons functioning in a way similar to roller lifters in pushrod overhead valve engines. Mechanical simplicity and light weight are major advantages, as is a unique advantage offered by the cam system: variable compression ratio. The company has prototypes running now, and is developing engines for both automotive and aviation use. • * * • STEM GAMES: • Play some fun engineering-based STEM games on engineering.com: • https://www.engineering.com/resources... • * * • ENGINEERING.COM TV: • Watch in-depth engineering videos made for the engineering professional and found exclusively on engineering.com TV: • For the Design Engineer: https://www.engineering.com/viewAll?c... • For the Manufacturing Engineer: https://www.engineering.com/viewAll?c... • * * • #innengine #combusionengines #pistons
