An engine includes a crankshaft rotatable about a crankshaft axis. A compression piston is slidably received within a compression cylinder and operatively connected to the crankshaft such that the compression piston is operable to reciprocate through an intake stroke and a compression stroke during a single rotation of the crankshaft. An expansion (power) piston is slidably received within an expansion cylinder and operatively connected to the crankshaft such that the expansion piston is operable to reciprocate through an expansion stroke and an exhaust stroke during a single rotation of the crankshaft. A variable volume crossover passage interconnects the compression and expansion cylinders, and includes a variable volume housing to controllably regulate the air flow from the compression cylinder to the expansion cylinder.

Variable volume crossover passage for a split-cycle engine

A shoe, boot and skate holder includes a handle, a stem extending from the handle, and a locking mechanism operatively connected to the stem. An eyelet rod is releasably lockable in the locking mechanism. The eyelet rod is insertable through eyelets of a shoe, boot or skate, and is lockable in the locking mechanism to retain the shoe, boot or skate in the holder.
