ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine comprising at least one flexible cylinder or semicylinder (chamber) formed from (a) at least one flexible, rectangular sheet attached to a rotor, which in turn is connected to a rotatable shaft, and (b) a pair of parallel end plates contacting the sheet's end surfaces and the engine's housing, which plates contain inlet and exhaust ports (valves) for gases and/or liquids, fuel injectors and spark- or glowplugs as well, and the cylinder's volume is periodically varied by at least one roller contacting the flexible sheet's curved surface at radial distances smaller and up to the rotor's (or chamber's) radius, thereby forcing the gases out, or into the flexible cylinder or semicylinder via the ports, respectively.
