ABSTRACT:
The casing of a rotary engine has a combustion chamber in which a rotor having a precisely circular section is supported by a center shaft. Part of the peripheral wall of the combustion chamber has the same size as the circumference of the rotor and the rest of the wall is larger than the circumference of the rotor. Accordingly, a requisite length of the circumferential surface of the rotor is kept in sliding contact with the peripheral wall all the time, while the rest of the circumferential surface of the rotor is always out of sliding contact with the peripheral wall to provide a space in the combustion chamber. The circumferential surface of the rotor is partially recessed to provide a cavity for accommodating a fuel-air mixture.
