Any stated reason for that increase in efficiency?

A FUEL EFFICIENT OFFSET PISTON ENGINE
My high torque power offset piston engine received U.S.patent no. 7,128,042. Four embodiments of this engine are described on its website www.abetterengine.com. Particular attention should be given to the described embodiment in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 of the drawings for midsize engines. Its power to weight will be high.
The website uses mathematics that reference FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 to explain why a crankshaft engine cannot be made fuel efficient and why my properly designed engine will be.
This engine is a high torque power engine. As such, it should not be difficult to design an efficient continuously variable transmission for it. I started but haven’t had the time to get very far with the CVT.
A single idler between a pair of out-of-phase pistons is used for timing in a 2-stoke engine. See FIG. 1A in the website. A special idler between two pairs will provide timing for a 4-stroke engine. The special idler in a 4-stroke can be displaced to create a 2-stroke engine in which two inactive pistons are stopped without energy wasting drag on the two active pistons. The special idler can be easily replaced if a 4-stroke is needed.
An embodiment of my 1-way clutch patent no. 6,571,925 is used to transmit the piston power to the power shaft. Its efficiency is explained in the website. The overrun feature in a 1-way clutch allows the power shaft to freewheel which will not give engine braking power to slow a vehicle. FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 in the website are referenced to explain how engine braking is achieved. Don’t know why but the 1-way clutch drawings just would not come out the way I tried to make them. I can email better 1-way clutch drawings than I show in the patent or the website. My email address is rlgiuliani@hawaiiantel.net.
Feel free to take a look at my website and let me know what you think.
