ABSTRACT:
A rotary vane combustion engine, having a compressor, a combustion chamber, an expander, sensors for sensing critical conditions, and a microprocessor for controlling the engine responsive to sensed conditions. Projection of vanes from the compressor or expander rotor is controlled by arms which include bearings riding in a cam or track formed in the compressor or expander housing. The track maintains a predetermined gap between the vanes and the respective housings, thereby reducing the friction between vane and housing and the possibility of binding of a vane against the housing. Valves vent the expander to the atmosphere and allow the expansion ratio of the expander to be controllably varied. These valves are controlled by the microprocessor.
