DESIGN CONCEPT OF TRACK

n DESIGN ELLIMINATE INERTIA FORCE ON EACH BALL

n WHEN ROTOR SPINS BALL MOVES RADIALLY INWARD AND
OUTWARD THAT CAUSES CORRIOULIS AND OTHER
ACCELERATION FORCES
n NET T.F PRODUCE FRICTION BETWEEN BALL AND
CYLINDER WALL.
n BY NARROWING AND WIDENING-
WIDENING- ELIMINATE T.F
n DESIGN WILL TAKES A BALL IN A SYNCHRONISED FASHION
n ROTATIONAL SPEED OF ROTOR=> CENTRIFUGAL FORCE ON
BALL RADIALLY
n CANCELLATION OF FORCES

RESULT & DISCUSSIONS

fig. 1 Power comparison of ball piston and conventional engines

n FIG 1, SHOW THE GRAPH DRAWN FOR SHOWING THE POWER COMPARISION
OF BALL PISTON ENGINE & CONVECTIONAL ENGINE FROM WHICH WE CAN
SAY THAT IN BALL PISTON ENGINES THE POWER & SPEED GRAPH IS LINER
AS FRICTION LOSSES ARE VERY LOW AS COMPARED TO CONVECTIONAL
ENGINE .

CONCLUSION
n ANALYSIS SHOW THAT THE BALL PISTON ENGINE HAS POTENTIAL
FOR ACHIEVING HIGHER EFFI. THAN PISTON I.C. ENGINE
n TEST HAVE SHOWN THAT CRITICAL LEAKAGE & FRICTION
CHARACTERISTICS ARE CONSISTENT
n THIS KINEMATIC DESIGN DEVICES TO ELIMINATE FRICTION
CONTRIBUTION FROM INERTIA FORCES
n THE CONVECTIONAL CARBURETION/ INDUCTION & EXHAUST
SYSTEMS ARE APPLICABLE TO NEW ENGINE
n THE PRECISE MANUFACTURING ARE NEED FOR PRODUCTION OF
MATERIAL
n THE NEW DESIGN CONCEPT CAN BE IMMEDIATELY APPLIED TO
COMPRESSOR & PUMP IN PARALLEL WITH FURTHER ENGINE
DEVELOPMENT

DIFFERENCE
BALL PISTON ENGINE
1)SIMPLE IN DESIGN AS LOW
MOVING PART
2)HIGH POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO
I.C.ENGINE
1)COMPLEX IN DESIGN AS LARGE
MOVING PART
2)LOW POWER TO WEIGHT RATIO

3)NO NEED OF VALVE TRAIN 3)VALVE TRAIN IS NEEDED

4)HIGH EFFI. THAN CONVECTIONAL 4)LOW EFFI.

5)4, 8, 12 OR MORE NUMBERS OF 5)2 OR 4 NUMBER OF STROKES CAN

STROKES CAN BE ACHIVED
6)NO NEED OF PISTON RING ,
PISTON PIN, CONNECTING ROD &
CRANKSHAFT BEARING, SO
REDUCE SLIDING FRICTION ,
INCREASE O/P
BE ACHIVED
6)SLIDING FRICTION IS OCCURED
BETWEEN PISTON PIN, PISTON
RING, CONNECTING ROD &
CRANKSHAFT BEARING, SO THAT
REDUCES POWER O/P
