SolidWorks Design of Prototype II, partial transparent front view. The vertical purple part located between the two engine sides is the custom designed connecting plate that hosts the crossover valve. The hydraulic pump that is connected via a timing belt to the engine and is used to load the engine is depicted on the top. Click to enlarge. SolidWorks Design of Prototype II, back view. The four gearwheels have the following functions: At the 9 o’clock position is the gearwheel connected to the compressor cylinder. The crossover valve mechanical cam is at 12 o’clock (since the valve actuation is both precise and fast – it opens and closes within about 45 degrees so that a large cam is required). At the 3 o’clock position is the combustion cylinder gearwheel, and at 6 o’clock is the hydraulic pump gearwheel. Click to enlarge.
