ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine in which various engine functions are carried out simultaneously rather than sequentially with the result that engine operation is smoother, less subject to vibrational forces, and has greater efficiency due to the elimination of the need to overlap functions. The engine comprises a rotatable cylinder made up of fuel charge, combustion, and working segments rotating in unison. The fuel charge and working segments each contain a plurality of radially arranged cylinders open at both ends and a spherical piston in and freely movable within each of the cylinders. A stationary cam surrounds the cylinder having cam surfaces to contact the spherical pistons within each of the cylinders causing each piston in its respective cylinder to reciprocate as the cylinder rotates. A stationary core is located within and enclosed by the rotatable cylinder for supplying and carrying away working fluid into and from the cylinders. Combustion chambers are formed within the combustion segment which separates the fuel charge and working segments. Within the stationary core is provision for delivering fuel charge to the combustion segment.
