ABSTRACT:
A rotating cylinder engine having a stationary housing surrounding a rotating cylinder block, which cylinder block rotates unitarily but eccentrically with an output shaft. The housing rotatably mounts both the shaft and the cylinder block. The cylinder block has four equally spaced cylinders therein with each cylinder reciprocally receiving therein a piston. The inner ends of each piston are equipped with abutting surfaces and a roller arrangement is mounted cooperatively with each piston and for unitary rotation with the output shaft. The rollers engage the inner end of the abutting surface on the piston to facilitate relative translatory movement between the pistons and the output shaft which occur during eccentric movement of the cylinder block and the output shaft while transfering driving force between the piston and the output shaft. Passage means in the housing allows pressure fluid therein to flow from a source external of the housing to impose driving loads upon the pistons. Bridal rings join oppositely disposed pistons to position them against the rollers and insure that the opposed pistons move conjointly.
