Abstract:
A rotary internal combustion engine comprising:a generally circular housing; a flywheel rotatably mounted in said circular housing, said flywheel having at least one radially raised projection extending therefrom to define a power piston; at least one abutment disc, said abutment disc defining an opening configured and dimensioned to permit said power piston to rotatably pass therethrough, wherein said flywheel and said abutment disc are driven in a synchronous relation; at least one compression piston rotor having a central axis and connected to said abutment disc so as to rotate synchronously therewith, said compression piston rotor defining at least one internal cavity; at least one compression piston shaft arranged axially offset from said central axis of said compression piston rotor; a covering means for covering said compression piston rotor, said covering means configured to cooperate with said compression piston to compress gases disposed in said internal cavity as said compression piston rotor rotates; and at least one compression piston positioned within said compression piston rotor, said compression piston rotatably secured to said compression piston shaft such that said compression piston rotates eccentrically to the central axis of the compression piston rotor; wherein said abutment disc, said covering means, said compression piston rotor, said compression piston shaft and said compression piston define a compression producing unit; wherein said radially raised projection of said power piston is dimensioned and configured to communicate with said compression piston as said compression piston rotor rotates; wherein said compression piston defines within said internal cavity of said compression rotor a variable chamber varying in volume as said compression piston rotor rotates.
