Claim:
A four quadrant cylindrical cavity heat engine, comprising: a. a substantially sealed block formed of multiple ceramic plates containing geometric cavities designed to confine all internal components within; b. a caloric energy absorption and storage device designed to fit into the base of the engine block then defining the hot path in each quadrant, designated as the heat anvil; c. a central cavity created between two plates holding liquid working fluid then defining the cold path in each quadrant; d. a rotary expansion device in each quadrant circularly sliding inside a cylindrical cavity between the cold-path and the hot path, in communication with the hot path and cold path and to the cylinder cavity of the quadrant; e. a horizontal cylindrical cavity defined between multiple ceramic plates in each quadrant defining the sliding path of the piston of that quadrant and containing a cone shaped piston, then defining a hot working fluid entry and exit; f. a cone shaped piston having rounded edges to allow minimal angling of the piston without compromising the sealing union of the cylinder and piston, while the piston is sliding within the cylinder, the piston is terminated by a ball; g. a central oscillator consisting of two oscillator plates one inverted under the other in communication with the ball terminus of each quadrant piston and the offset pin of the central shaft; h. a central shaft projecting outside the engine block at the top circularly sliding inside a circular cavity within the center of the engine block, the offset pin of the central shaft in communication with the center cylindrical cavity of the oscillator and the cylindrical offset cavity of the central shaft base; i. a gear attached to the central shaft communicates circular energy to the two cylindrical cone drive rods, in addition on the underside of the gear four cylindrical magnets are attached that interact with corresponding coils located on the microcomputer printed circuit board; j. a cone drive rod circularly sliding in the circular cavity positioned exactly in between each two cylinder quadrants in communication with the gear of the central shaft to communicate circular energy to the cone compressor; k. a cone compressor in communication with a cone drive rod through a helical gear to worm gear interface, the cone compressor formed by locked outer and inter ceramic cone pieces circularly sliding inside the geometrical cavity defined within layers of the engine block; l. a cone ball entering the cone from a circular cavity within the engine block then circumscribing the decreasing radius arc defined by the track formed between the inner and outer cones, accelerated by the rotation of the cone then exiting the cone at high force pushing vaporous working fluid into the regeneration cavity towards the heat exchanger, the ball then returns to the storage track pushing the next sequential ball out of the opposite end of the ball storage track into the circular hot vapor cavity progressing to the cone compressor.
