ABSTRACT:
A low-pollution external combustion piston engine is adapted to utilize any of a number of expansible gases and fuels, and to maximize power output relative to the weight of the engine. The engine has a highly efficient and compact rotary design featuring a multi-cylinder rotary block acting on a rotary torque conversion plate. The design includes porting and valving for controllably admitting pressurized gas at substantially equal pressures to both sides of each piston to drive each piston bidirectionally and thereby maximize power output and efficiency. Each piston chamber has both primary and secondary exhaust porting to minimize back pressure and thereby further aid power output and efficiency.
