Abstract

In this current generation, the efficiency of gasoline engines is around 50%. This isbecause of many losses within the system. The most important losses are because of moving parts. Moving parts comprises piston, cams, rod etc. Investigations are being conducted to cut the losses to enhance efficiency. One such outcome is that the free Valve Mechanism which uses poppet valves operated by means of pneumatic actuators rather than cams. Actuators are used to open and shut the valves and control combustion within each cylinder and hence improving the efficiency.
