Abstract:
A unitary engine generator, comprising:an internal combustion engine incorporating a rotatably driven central rotor supporting plural radially extending, arcuately spaced cylinders rotatable with said rotor about a central longitudinal axis;a piston moveable coaxially within each of said cylinders;a stationary unitary housing encasing said engine coaxially of said axis;a pair of registeringly aligned, like, axially spaced endless cam tracks formed integrally with opposing interior walls of said housing;a pair of cam followers associated with each said piston;each cam follower operationally engaging an adjacent one of said cam tracks;means in bearing relation with the exterior of each of said cylinders for interjoining a related pair of said cam followers and a respectively associated piston whereby combustion actuation of each piston serves to drive said cam followers along said cam tracks;a stationary field winding fastened to the interior periphery of said housing, concentrically surrounding said rotor and cylinders; andat least one magnetic mass mounted for movement with said rotor to generate electrical energy in response to orbital movement of said mass past said field winding.
