Internal combustion engine having automatic compression control

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5375077

An internal combustion engine has an articulated connecting rod linkage which is automatically adjusted by an improved fluid-pressure-responsive control, so that different density fuel-air charges inducted into the engine cylinder will be compressed to substantially the same extent each time the cylinder is fired, regardless of throttle setting, engine speeds, or loads.
