Instead of a straight piston, the piston velocity of which varies in a sinusoidal way, we use a circular piston. The circular velocity is then \(v_{\small{Boom}}\), the velocity required to generate a nuclear boom effect. A two (\(n\)) stroke engine is made up of three (\(n+1\)) equal circular segments; two acting as pistons and the third, the compression/ignition chamber. All rotating on a common axis. In the three pairs of a six units above, alternate segments are connected at \(120^{o}\) apart. Three pairs of moving segments of the six, drive a crankshaft. Two crankshafts drive a transmission alternately. Or, two pairs of moving segments to a common gear and three gears to drive a common transmission.
How are stationary segments held in place?
In a straight piston engine, it is necessary to lift the piston to open up the combustion chamber again for fuel injection. In a \(v_{\small{Boom}}\) engine design, fuel is injected before the moving segment and behind the stationary segment at the end of each stroke. The front of the moving segment compresses the fuel at \(v_{\small{Boom}}\). At the end of the moving segment, spent fuel is ejected.
Still, how are the stationary segments held in place to rotate the crankshaft in one direction? The boom generated as the segments come together stops the moving segment with forward momentum but propels the stationary segment forward.
How to drive a common transmission alternately? When the segment pair is at the stationary position, the connected crankshaft does not present any teeth to the transmission. The transmission is free to move forward as the segment is stopped. If the stationary segment is engaged by the transmission, it is simply moved forward and present itself as a load driven by the transmission until it is propelled by the next boom behind it.
A boom engine is expected to be low temperature with very little exhaust. If it is possible to maintain fuel density, the exhaust can be recycled at the same boom speed.
This engine is started by an electric motor at boom rotational velocity. No spark required.
