ABSTRACT:
A rotary engine is provided utilizing a non-cylindrical casing which defines lobes on opposite sides which define crescent-shaped intake and combustion chambers, respectively, these chambers being connected by a narrow corridor on both sides of a central rotor which rotates on an axis coaxial with that of the casing. The rotor includes arcuate blades which move in and out of the rotor wall to wipe the non-cylindrical casing wall, these blades or pistons being urged outwardly by a special spring loaded cam follower which follows a dual cam which is non-rotational relative to the engine casing. In the preferred mode of operation, one of the crescent-shaped chambers acts as the intake and compression chamber, with the second chamber acting as the combustion and exhaust chamber by virtue of the positioning of intake and exhaust ports and a specialized automatically operated pressure driven fuel injector which is used when the engine is operated as a diesel.
