Design and Fabrication of an Operational RCV Internal Combustion Engine
Public DepositedDownloadable Content
open in viewerThis project aims to design, prototype, manufacture, and analyze a rotating cylinder valve (RCV) engine. The RCV engine is an internal combustion engine which forgoes a traditional valvetrain and camshafts, instead using a rotating valve attached to the cylinder. This design offers advantages in efficiency, power output, and emissions control. The project includes three main phases, conceptual design and simulation, prototype development, and performance evaluation. The history of this engine and its operating principles are introduced, followed by an analysis of its operation. A new, larger 1.6 cubic inch RCV engine is then designed and manufactured, and plans are made for testing and evaluation.
