ABSTRACT:
A rotary engine includes separate compressor and combustion sections which are interconnected. Each section includes a cylinder formed with a cylindrical working chamber containing a pair of pistons rotatable about the cylinder axis. The pistons are attached by cylindrical hubs to coaxial shafts extending from an end of the cylinders, which shafts are interconnected by generally elliptical gear means to provide for rotation of the pistons at periodically variable speeds such that sub-chambers of periodically variable volume are provided. The outer free edges of the pistons and attached hubs are recessed, and seal means are located in the recesses to prevent gas leakage between opposite sub-chambers. The combustion section cylinder is provided with intake and exhaust ports in the cylinder wall and, for spark ignition, with a spark plug. For compression ignition, fuel injector means are provided in place of the spark plug. The one compressor piston attached to the inner shaft is provided with inlet passages which extend from opposite leading and trailing faces of the piston and through the associated hub to the inner shaft, at least a section of which inner shaft is tubular. Reed valve means are located in the piston passages for control of fluid into the compressor sub-chambers. Compressed air is supplied to the combustion section intake port from an outlet in the compressor section.
