Abstract:
A plurality of rotary engines and a compressor comprising:a first rotor housing;a first rotor placed within said first rotor housing;a first gate retractably positioned within said first rotor;a first cam surface placed in said first rotor housing;a first cam follower attached to said first gate and contacting said first cam surface, whereby said first gate is caused to move radially within said first rotor forming a first chamber between said first rotor housing and said first rotor;a second rotor housing;a second rotor placed within said second rotor housing;a second gate retractably positioned within said second rotor;a second cam surface placed in said second rotor housing;a second cam follower attached to said second gate and contacting said second cam surface, whereby said second gate is caused to move radially within said second rotor forming a second chamber between said second rotor housing and said second rotor;a shaft, said first and second rotors mounted on said shaft;a compressor housing;a compressor rotor placed within said compressor housing and coupled to said shaft;a compressor gate placed between said compressor housing and said compressor rotor forming a compressor chamber; anda compressor gate drive coupled to said shaft, whereby said compressor gate is caused to move between said compressor housing and said compressor rotor so as to form the compressor chamber,whereby the plurality of rotary engines drive said shaft causing the compressor to create high pressure gas.
