HYBRID OPPOSED-PISTON INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

A hybrid opposed piston engine is described that can include a cylindrical chamber and first and second pistons slidably disposed in the cylindrical chamber, surfaces of the first and second pistons and walls of the cylindrical chamber defining an internal combustion volume. The hybrid opposed piston engine can also include at least one port in the cylindrical chamber to allow air and fuel into and exhaust gas out of the internal combustion volume. In some embodiments, the hybrid opposed piston engine includes a drive shaft including a first mechanical linkage between the first piston and a crankshaft that is configured to move the first piston within the cylindrical chamber. In some embodiments, the hybrid opposed piston engine includes an electrical component adjacent to the second piston, the electrical component configured to move the second piston within the cylindrical chamber. 描述了一种混合动力对置活塞式发动机，该发动机可以包括筒形室第一活塞和第二活塞，第一活塞和第二活塞以可滑动的方式布置在筒形室中，第一活塞和第二活塞的表面以及筒形室的壁限定出内部燃烧容积。混合动力对置活塞式发动机还可以包括在筒形室中的至少一个端口，以允许空气
