Engine With Non-Rotating Crankshaft

Engine With Non-Rotating Crankshaft
I was in my ASEP class today and my instructor told us all to find information on a running engine that has a crankshaft, internal combustion, etc. but the crankshaft does not rotate. Only thing I could really think of was solenoid powered pistons that are mounted onto the crank just as a support.
Any ideas or sources where I can find information on this engine?
Thanks!

it is more efficient in the less friction higher RPM field pretty much has no limitation to it ability to rotate at high speed as long as it remains balanced within tolerances...This is what every helicopter over your head has powering it..So keep that in mind next time you hear one swarp over top of you...

Even the 45-50 yr old Medivac UH-1 (Hueys) have turbines. No helicopter I'm familiar with has used this engine design since the early to mid 1950's
