A novel internal combustion engine without a crankshaft and connecting rod mechanisms, which the author would like to present, is partially acting on another law of physics. The invention titled 'Nano-Magneto-Rheological Mechatronic Commutator Internal Combustion Engine', which is concisely termed the Fijalkowski engine by some, is based on a completely new propulsion engineering solution that has no analogies in the world. Thus, this paper focuses on a novel internal combustion, which may use a nano-magneto-rheological mechatronic commutator that may replace the crankshaft and connecting rod (conrod) mechanisms. This mechatronic commutator may let nano -magneto-rheological rotary ratchets oscillate in a controlled wobble while keeping the output shaft spinning smoothly; and although opposed pistons and opposed cylinders similar to those in automotive 'boxer' engines may power the Fijalkowski engine, it may also use opposed cylinders containing four pairs of two end-to-end opposed pistons for higher power densities. The nano-magneto-rheological mechatronic commutator is used for converting between one form of mechanical motion that is linear, reciprocating motion of pistons and another -- that is the rotary motion of the output shaft.
