Abstract (en)
The present invention relates to an internal combustion engine having at least one primary cylinder (A, B) operating on the Otto cycle and an associated secondary cylindery (C) which cylinders are operatively coupled to a common crankshaft (30); and wherein the secondary cylinder (C) is operatively coupled to the primary cylinder (A, B) such that exhaust gas from the primary cylinder (A, B) is exhausted into the secondary cylinder (C) where it expands, driving the piston of the secondary cylinder subsequently exhausts the exhaust gas to atmosphere.
