A design with two combustion chambers placed on opposite sides. From combustion to electrical energy without rotational alternator.

[William Gaatjes]

I just noticed this video. And fast forward to this combustion engine idea.
What i miss here, are two opposing combustion chambers instead of the single combustion chamber in the video.




If the designer / inventor would make a version that has 2 two opposing combustion chambers...
Then the resulting forces combustion forces would oppose each other of course in a sequence one after the other, driving the magnet from left to right. And right to left.
Creating a more homogenous magnetic field change over time through the electrical wiring of the coil.
What do you guys and galls think about this engine design ?
And what do you guys and galls think about a design version with two opposing combustion chambers ?

Could this be more efficient than for example a rotational opposed piston combustion engine with an optimized alternator ?
Normally there is a flywheel in engine designs but a Spanish designer company called INNengine claims that an engine without flywheel is also possible as long as the piston follow each other sequentially in a fast pace.

Video, i took the screenshot from :

Ways to clean up pollution and live in a good climate.

Hi all, I though it would be a good idea to place some good information here. Over the years i learned al ot about how life works form microscopic to macroscopic... The planet , the climate. How the weather changes because of all kind of events that come up in daily life all over the planet and...

Two opposing combustion chambers means you have to put the valves between where they nearly meet. Not much space if you want good compression.

To be honest, I haven't watched the video and maybe this is discussed...
But where does the compression (needed for combustion) come from if there is nothing mechanical designating the piston's position? And a related thought, how do you start it?

Another garbage, robot voiced sensationalizing channel to add to the block list.

Not watching more than the few seconds it took, to recognize that.

From your still image, that looks like something I saw about 20-30 years ago in Popular Science.

I remember free piston engines with coils to generate power. It's an old idea going nowhere.

IThat issomething that still needs to be added. I guess.

I was thinking more and more about it, after the post from Ken g6.
And when you have two opposite combustion chambers with two pistons connected with each other.
Where the piston rods are connected on either side of the magnet.
The magnet that is moved through the coil.
Firing in sequence from left to right and right to left.
The timing would have to be impeccable. Because the piston is driven with force from left to right and right to left. In case of misfiring in one of the cylinders, a spring would always be needed.
Lowering the efficiency. So yes.
