Abstract:
A reciprocating piston rotary engine comprising at least one reciprocating piston held on a rotor, the or each piston rotating concentrically with the rotor, inside a annulus formed by the rotor and a non revolving cylindrical engine block which has means of ignition and means for the inlet and exhaust of gases, and where the or each piston reciprocates along the rotor, at an angle parallel with the rotational axis of the rotor and at right angles to the direction of rotation of the rotor, and where the or each piston forms three sides of a combustion chamber, the rotor forming two more sides and the cylindrical engine block forms the sixth, the or each piston driving the rotor by pushing against it and motions of compression and expansion of the or each piston being guided by cams which are situated on front and back plates of the circular cylinder engine block and where the or each piston reciprocates on a path at right angles to the direction of the centrifugal force to the rotor and is held in position by the rotor in the direction of rotation.
