| Description: |  | Abstract:
The objects of my invention are, first, to produce a double-acting gas-engine; second, to provide means for heating the air before it is mixed with the gas; third, to provide improved means for exploding the gas, and, fourth, to provide improved means for removing the exhaust from both ends of the cylinder.
Claim:
 In a gas-engine, a piston so shaped as to form an air-chamber between a portion of said piston and the walls of the cylinder, the said air-chamber having no direct communication with the combustion-chamber of the cylinder, an air-inlet leading into said chamber from the exterior of the cylinder, an air-outlet leading from said chamber, and intermediate valved connections between said air-outlet and the combustion-chamber of the cylinder. |  |
