ABSTRACT:
A radial engine with a rotating cylinder block is disclosed which is capable of high rates of rotation although operating on the two stroke cycle. An intake air compressor and an exhaust driven turbine are provided, both in driving connection with the same output shaft as the cylinder block. A peripheral manifold serves both to provide the stator of the exhaust turbine and to mask exhaust passages from the cylinders in the block so as to modify the two stroke cycle of the engine by effectively advancing the end of the scavenge phase. A system for recovering oil from the block is disclosed, and the block is reinforced by a peripheral tension band.
