ABSTRACT:
A radial engine having an engine casing supporting for rotation therein a central drive shaft and having mounted thereupon a rotator drivingly afixed to said shaft, at least two combustion apertures provided along the circumferential edge of the rotator and in alignment with complimentary apertures provided within the engine block for mating with said rotor apertures. At least two axially reciprocal pistons for compressing the fuel within said engine combustion chambers, at least one intake valve with each combustion chamber, and a slotted piston cam drivingly engaged on said central shaft and associated by cam follower mechanism with said reciprocal pistons. Appropriate exhaust ports are provided within the engine block and spaced at least a rotor combustion chamber width away from the combustion chambers and in alignment with the combustion chambers in said rotator. Intake valve cam structure also appropriately arranged for drive from the central shaft. Also this device incorporates a unique combustion chamber sealing compression ring of spring loaded type, relief channel structure associated with the combustion chamber in the rotator, and oil scraper structure.
