Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022200611A1] A piston (54) for an engine comprising a cylinder (57), an air inlet (91a) and an exhaust outlet (92a), wherein the air inlet (91a) and the exhaust outlet (92a) are arranged about a longitudinal axis (60) of the cylinder (57). The piston (54) comprises a circular peripheral wall (141) having a central axis (142) which is aligned with the longitudinal axis (60) of the cylinder (57). The piston (54) has working surface (79) which comprises a central channel (140) that extends across the working surface (79) in a direction perpendicular to the central axis (142). The channel (140) has two ends (148a, 148b) located on opposite sides of the channel (140). Opposing sides of the channel each comprise a side wall (151, 152) which extend from a base (153) of the channel (140) to a respective side edge (149, 150) of the channel (140). The channel (140) is configured to promote tumble of air flow into the cylinder (57) from the air inlet (91a), in use during an intake stroke of the piston (54).
