Abstract:
A rotating spherical head and valve engine comprising:(a) an engine block having at least one cylinder therein;(b) a reciprocating piston in said cylinder;(c) a crank shaft rotatably mounted to said engine block;(d) a connecting rod connecting said piston to said crank shaft to rotate said crank shaft as a piston reciprocates in said cylinder;(e) a rotating spherical head and valve mounted on said engine block;(f) said rotating spherical head and valve including a generally flat surface which upon rotation of the mounted spherical body acts as the intake and exhaust valve depending on the angle of rotation with the cylinder;(g) said rotating spherical head and valve mounted on said cylinder such that the rotating spherical head and valve seals to the top of said cylinder and is sealed to the cover of the intake exhaust manifold so that the exhaust and air intake gases do not mix;(h) an intake passage formed in said rotating sphere side valve for directing intake air into said cylinder; and(i) an exhaust passage formed in said rotating spherical head and valve for exhausting said combustion gasses from said cylinder.
