Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An engine is provided. The engine includes a piston operable to reciprocate in a cylinder, a crankshaft rotatably coupled to the piston, and a supercharger rotatably coupled to the crankshaft. The supercharger has an unequal distribution of mass along a longitudinal plane of the supercharger to provide a rotational counterbalance to reduce engine imbalance.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An engine comprising: a piston operable to reciprocate in a cylinder according to a four stroke cycle; a crankshaft rotatably coupled to the piston; a supercharger rotatably coupled to the crankshaft, the supercharger having an unequal distribution of mass along a longitudinal plane of the supercharger, the supercharger being operable to produce a rotation couple that provides a rotational counterbalance to reduce engine imbalance, wherein the supe…
