ABSTRACT:
A lightweight rotary engine of novel design having a sealed inner portion that allows the engine to assume any attitude during operation. The bottommost portion of each piston contains a bearing roller that is urged against a fixed eccentric post which causes rotation of the rotor assembly. There is no direct connection between the bottommost portion of the pistons and the eccentric post.
The rotor consists of a pair of opposed plates for moving the cylinders in a radial direction. The space between the cylinders contains air chambers for holding air under pressure that is used to scavenge the cylinders.
