Abstract:
An internal combustion engine of the rotary type with a piston or pistons comprising, a housing formed with a peripheral wall which contains a cylindrical inner wall attached to side walls at 90 degrees, a cylindrical rotor, rotationally mounted in said housing and having a circular peripheral wall, side walls at 90 degrees to said peripheral rotor wall, with one said rotor's side wall having means to be attached to an engine's shaft which protrudes through the center of said housing side walls and the other said side wall having a central opening, a central chamber in said rotor, and one or more circular cylinder chambers extending from the said rotor's peripheral wall to the central chamber of said rotor, said rotor having means to seal each of said cylinder chamber from any other cylinder chamber or chambers and said central chamber, a piston with a piston rod for each said cylinder chamber or chambers, reciprocally mounted and forming a variable volume in said cylinder chamber or chambers and having means to seal the cylinder chamber or chambers from the said central chamber of the said rotor, a piston rod guide attached to the inner wall of said rotor's side wall is the means to guide the reciprocal motions of said piston and a piston guide plate attached to said housing side wall providing means to rotate the said rotor, said housing being provided with means admitting a gaseous mixture communicating with said cylinder chamber or chambers, means discharging combustion products communicating with said cylinder chamber or chambers and ignition means communicating with said cylinder chamber or chambers, said shaft with means to guide the said rotor's rotary motion in said housing, each said cylinder chamber or chambers of varying size enabling a compression of a gaseous mixture to take place after suction, ignition of said compressed gaseous mixture and expansion of each cylinder chamber due to the pressure of said combustion products.
