  • the power thus generated can then drive electric motors of a motor vehicle.
  • the rotation can also be used by means of a simple coupling to a drive.
  • the piston rod In the case of a mechanical drive, where the rotation of the piston rod 30 is used directly, for example, in a motor vehicle, the piston rod is coupled directly to a transmission. In ships, for example, the piston rod could be coupled to a shaft of the screw. In the example of aircraft, the piston rod could be coupled to a propeller.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un piston (12, 22, 102, 212, 222) pour un moteur à combustion interne à pistons libres (1, 100, 200), présentant une première face frontale (122a) côté chambre de combustion et un axe de cylindre (X) sensiblement perpendiculaire à la première face frontale côté chambre de combustion, ladite première face frontale côté chambre de combustion étant formée de telle sorte que le piston puisse être mis en rotation dans un premier sens de rotation autour de l'axe de cylindre sous l'action d'un gaz appliqué sur la première face frontale côté chambre de combustion. L'invention concerne en outre un système de pistons comprenant au moins un premier piston selon l'invention et une première tige de piston (30, 106, 216) sur laquelle sont fixés le ou les premiers pistons (12, 212), en particulier la première tige de piston s'étendant dans le sens axial le long de l'axe de cylindre du premier piston. L'invention concerne enfin un moteur à combustion interne (1, 100, 200) comprenant un système de pistons selon l'invention pouvant être actionné d'un mouvement alternatif dans le sens axial dans un carter du moteur, chaque face frontale côté chambre de combustion du ou des premiers pistons et/ou du ou des deuxièmes pistons faisant face à une chambre de combustion (14a, 14b, 24a, 24b, 214a, 214b, 224a, 224b) et délimitant celle-ci dans un sens axial.
