ABSTRACT:
A four stroke internal combustion engine including a combustion chamber, a movable assembly, a stationary assembly and a motion conversion mechanism. The combustion chamber is formed between the stationary assembly and the movable assembly so as to be located radially of the predefinable pivot point. The movable assembly and the stationary assembly are cooperatively associated one with another such that the movable assembly is capable of being made to undergo oscillating motion about the aforementioned predefinable pivot point in a semicircular path about the stationary assembly. Motion is imparted to the movable assembly by virtue of the forces produced during combustion in the combustion chamber acting on a vane which projects outwardly of the movable assembly into the combustion chamber. The motion-conversion mechanism is cooperatively associated with the movable assembly whereby the motion-conversion mechanism is operative to convert the oscillating motion of the movable assembly into a continuous circular motion which is suitable for use for purposes of imparting rotation to a power output shaft.
