ABSTRACT:
A reciprocating piston device has its pistons and cylinders arranged in a circle, each piston and each cylinder being rotatable about a common shaft to which power is directed or, alternatively, to which power is supplied depending on the use to which the device is put. For example, the device may be a fluid pump, a fluid motor, a diesel engine, a two cycle engine, a four cycle engine, or the like. In a preferred embodiment, two pistons and two cylinders form a part of a first rotor and two other pistons and two other cylinders form a part of a second rotor. Each piston forming a part of one rotor is mounted for reciprocal movement within a cylinder of the other rotor.
