ABSTRACT:
An engine comprises at least one cylinder and preferably several cylinders side-by-side. Each cylinder comprises a toroidal cylinder and has a piston which revolves around the cylinder. The piston is fixed to the periphery of a disk fixed to the main shaft which coincides with the axis of the cylinder. At one position of the cylinder a gate is installed which seals the cylinder into two sections. On one side of the gate is an inlet port and on the opposite side an exhaust port. A valve controlled by a cam shaft timed from the main shaft controls the inlet port. A gaseous medium is externally heated in a heater and is introduced under pressure through the inlet port and drives the piston around the cylinder; the medium in the cylinder ahead of the piston from the previous cycle is discharged through the exhaust port and cooled and then reheated. The valve is manually (or pedally) controlled to cut off to maintain proper speed for the load on the main shaft. The valve also cuts off intake as the piston approaches the gate. The gate is opened either by contact with the piston or other means and is closed behind the piston.
