Abstract
An opposed piston engine has a driveshaft with a spaced apart cams mounted thereon. Each cam has a circumferential cam shoulder of a curvilinear shape selected to enhance flow through intake and exhaust ports. The curvilinear shape may be a segmented polynomial shape forming lobes which lobes are asymmetrical so that the lobe wavelength distance from a first trough to the lobe peak of an ascending shoulder portion of the lobe is greater than the lobe wavelength distance from the peak to a second trough of a descending shoulder portion of the lobe. Opposing cam shoulders may be shaped so as to always be converging or diverging from one another.
