Here is a small non functional model of my engine concept.

Notice the adjustable journal.

No connecting rods.

Pistons connected to outer rotating portion where power is applied (only the outer 1/2 inch rotates, the rest is stationary).

Cylinders highlighted in red.

No valve train.

One intake and exhaust port.

One injector and spark plug.

Capable of complete stroke elimination and energy storage as a free spinning flywheel.

Potential compression ratios as high as 50 to 1.

Mech
