Internal-combustion engines comprising a cylinder and a piston therein, the cylinder being capable or reciprocatory movement in a straight line relatively to the piston and the piston being either immovable or adapted for simultaneous movement in a direction opposite to the movement of the said movable cylinder whereby the gases resulting from the combustion of a combustible mixture within the cylinder as they expand act upon the movable cylinder and transmit power therethrough to the main driving-shaft of the engine or act upon the movable cylinder and the piston, when it also is movable, to transmit power through both said elements.
