ABSTRACT:
An engine for rotating a main drive shaft (14) from a plurality of power modules (18) arranged in a concentric circumferentially spaced relation about a main drive gear (12) secured to the main drive shaft (14). Each power module (18) has a pair of parallel cylinders (50) with associated pistons (52) therein connected to rocker arms (62) and Z-crank convertors (68) for rotating a power input gear (20) engaging the main gear (12) for rotating the main drive shaft (14).
