A dynamically re-configurable multi-stroke internal combustion engine, comprised
of programmable computer processor controlled engine components for decoupling
the four classic strokes of an internal combustion engine and electronically managing
engine cylinder components including such cylinder components as electronically
controllable valves, fuel injection and air fuel mixture ignition, allowing additional
engine cylinder unit component states and thus cylinder strokes to be independently
altered or re-sequenced by computer control to provide alternate engine modes of
operation. Some alternate engine modes are facilitated by addition of a compressed
air storage reservoir to receive cylinder generated compressed air or transfer
compressed air to cylinder units in other modes to increase engine power, efficiency
or utility. Sensor input and on-demand requirements drive control logic to manage
engine strokes through control of individual cylinder component states. Dynamic
reconfiguration of individual component states provides re-generative engine energy
modes, boost power modes, and mixed modes which use compressed air stored energy
re-introduced for alternate cylinder state sequences and alternate engine modes
of operation which add utility and efficiency to otherwise fixed sequence multi-stroke
power generation in internal combustion engines.
