Abstract (en)
The invention relates to a power conversion unit (10) which includes a set of primary pistons (16), reciprocably displaceable in a set of primary cylinders (14), defined in a, body, (12) on the internal combustion engine principle. The primary pistons (16) are directly connected, or via a constraining means, to a set of auxiliary pistons (28), reciprocably displaceable in a set of auxiliary cylinders (30), also defined in a body (32). The auxiliary pistons (28) can act upon a hydraulic fluid and the chemical and thermal energy of a combustible fuel, by combustion in the primary cylinders (14) is thus substantially directly converted to hydraulic energy available from the auxiliary cylinders (30). The constraining means may be a non-rotatably wobble plate (18), which can limit displacement of the pistons, and which can be mounted on a rotatable shaft (20) from which mechanical energy can be obtained to assist with the operation of the conversion unit (10).
