Abstract

Apparatus and method features are disclosed for initiating combustion in free piston engines in response to a movement-related characteristic of the power piston, such as its rate of change of position in the power cylinder of the engine, so that combustion is caused to occur at a desired time which is related to the time the power piston reverses direction at the start of a power stroke, without regard to variations from one stroke to another in the actual physical position of the power piston along its path of movement in the power cylinder at the moment of piston reversal. Various means are shown or suggested for sensing piston movement and causing combustion in response to changes in the velocity or acceleration of such piston movement at a controlled time interval before or after such velocity drops to zero or after such velocity has reached a maximum, i.e., at or near the moment when the piston reaches its inner dead point in the power cylinder, and preferably somewhat before that moment.
