Excerpt from Construction and Comparative Test of a Four Cycle Gasoline Engine Arranged to Operate With and Without an Augmented Charge of Air
The engine upon which the test was made, de signed and constructed by the author, was originally designed to operate upon a two stroke cycle, the feature of the engine being a cam operated pop ex haust valve in the head, which arrangement allowed the gases to pass in through one end of the cylinder and out the other, such action being calated to allow a better scavenging action than the usual two cycle arrangement of ports in which the gases are de flected up by a baffle and pass down again to the exhaust port. The engine Operated very well up to 500 but above that the exhaust opening proved insufficient to handle the gases in the almost instan~ taneous time allowed by the cycle.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the challenges of developing a high-speed four-stroke internal combustion engine by analyzing the effects of varied component designs and engineering choices upon the engine's performance. The author presents their findings based on a meticulously designed experiment that involved modifying an existing engine and testing its operation under various conditions. The book delves into the technical details of the engine's construction, including the impact of factors such as valve timing, compression ratio, and the incorporation of an auxiliary exhaust port. Through the analysis of pressure diagrams obtained using an optical indicator, the author assesses the engine's torque, power output, and fuel consumption. The results provide valuable insights into the complex relationship between these factors and the engine's design parameters. The author's meticulous approach and clear presentation make this book an essential resource for engineers and researchers in the field of internal combustion engine design. Its practical findings contribute to the ongoing pursuit of optimizing engine performance and efficiency.
