ABSTRACT:
The present invention teaches a novel internal combustion engine wherein a unique structural means of transmitting combustion-generated forces and motion is incorporated. A journalled rotor assembly having combustion cavities in each of opposing faces thereof receives a combustible fluid. A main cam carried by an output shaft which is integral with the rotor assembly drives intermittent-motion cams carried on transfer shafts. Transfer plates integral with the transfer shafts and captively movable within housings rotate into and out of the combustion cavities so as to define the variable working volumes of each cavity. With each of the firings, the rotor is caused to spin in a direction opposite with respect to the relative rotational direction of the respective transfer plates.
