Abstract:
1. A method of producing a four-cycle rotary, electromagnetic, internal combustion engine comprising steps of: providing a cylindrical round cross-sectional chamber engine case; providing end caps mounted on both ends of the cylindrical engine case whereby an engine working volume is enclosed; providing an output power shaft with joined, interdigitated, alternating hub section, impellers having a plurality of impeller vanes, said power shaft and impellers being rotatable within the engine case, wherein the engine working volume is partitioned into simultaneous, intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust sectors; providing said plurality of impeller vanes as electromagnets, or with electromagnets built into the vane sections of said impeller; providing at least one intake slot, wherein the air is controlled and delivered into said intake sector; providing at least one fuel injector, whereby fuel is controlled and delivered into said combustion sector; providing at least one exhaust slot, wherein the combustion products are controlled and directed from the exhaust sector into the exhaust gas chute; providing at least one fuel igniter, whereby the combustion mixtures in the combustion sector are optionally ignited; providing timing means for controlling the intake air in the intake sector, and the compression ratio in the compression sector, and the fuel injection into the combustion sector, and the combustion products from the exhaust sector, as a function of the relative timing of the static impeller release and the dynamic impeller capture; providing rotation transfer means whereby rotation of the dynamic impeller, due to combustion in the combustion sector, is transferred to the power shaft, and; providing computer control units to control said engine, functions, including timing of the static impeller release and capture of the dynamic impeller to control the compression ratio and initiate spontaneous combustion of the combustion mixtures in the combustion sectors, and momentum transfer between the impeller vanes, and the rotations of the impellers and the power shaft, and rotation transfer between the dynamic impeller and the output power shaft.
