Development of an electronic management system for a rotary combustion engine

摘要

Nowadays the electricity generation is a commonly discussed subject. A large number of studies about converting mechanical energy into electrical energy are done. However, there is also the need for studying new internal combustion engines so the chemical energy can be more efficiently converted into mechanical energy or movement. This article describes the development of an electronic management system for an embedded control and management of a new concept spark ignition rotary engine prototype for a promising use in electrical energy generation. The embedded software creating will be explained since its project thru its implementation. Several aspects of implementation will be discussed, from the hardware, like choosing the microcontroller between PIC18F4550 to Arduino Uno, Mega 2560 and Due, to discussing deep aspects of the embedded software programming code. At the end, results of how the system operated will be presented and discussed.
