Abstract:
1. A rotary machine comprising: an enclosure having a cavity with arcuate side walls, said cavity arcuate side walls defining a plurality of cavity arcuate recesses; a piston member rotationally disposed in said cavity, said piston member having first and second ends configured to rotationally engage said cavity arcuate side walls and said cavity arcuate recesses such that a compression chamber is ultimately provided between said cavity arcuate side walls and said piston member, said first and second ends of said piston member ultimately engaging cooperating portions of said cavity arcuate recesses such that two seals are formed between each of said first and second ends of said piston member and said engaged cooperating portions of said cavity arcuate recesses; wherein said piston member includes piston discontinuous transitions between said first and second ends of said piston member, and a side arcuate wall portion of said piston member; said piston discontinuous transitions engaging said cooperating portions of said cavity arcuate recesses; means for converting piston member movement into rotary motion imparted upon a flywheel; means for supplying a working medium to predetermined portions of said cavity; means for igniting said working medium; and means for removing said working medium after being ignited from predetermined portions of said cavity, whereby, said cavity arcuate side walls sequentially cooperate with said piston member to provide sequential compression chambers that ultimately receive said working medium to ultimately provide rotary motion to said flywheel, which provides rotary motion to a machine via a drive shaft.
