Abstract (en)

[origin: US6814548B2] The invention relates to a piston engine which is essentially comprised of an engine shaft and a set of modules, each of which comprises a cylinder and a piston powered by the engine shaft in the cylinder, each module resulting in vibratory excitation of the engine at a determined fundamental frequency. Rather than introducing phase differences between the various vibratory excitations, as is the case in prior art, the invention introduces a frequency offset between the fundamental frequencies thereof in order to avoid a high-amplitude vibration at a common excitation frequency, arising from the spectral spread thus obtained.
