ABSTRACT:
A pumping or combustion engine having one to four cylindrical or semi-cylindrical chambers formed by at least one flexible sheet attached to a rotor, which sheet and/or rotor contact a plane, rigid plate at both sides thereof, containing inlet and exhaust ports for gases and/or liquids therein, which ports are opened and closed by the sheet, rotor, and/or spring-loaded check valves; and the volume of each chamber is varied when flexing the sheet by the reciprocal or rotational momentum of the rotor(s) alone, or its rotation along outer or inner, stationary or moveable, spring-loaded rigid cylinders (rollers).
