ABSTRACT:
A low noise, high power, light weight, compact rotary expander engine of Wankel type which features minimum unbalanced forces and elimination of balance weights because its rotating parts rotate about their centers of mass. The high inertia of its rotating housing eliminates the need for a flywheel and rotation in a plane normal to the centerline of the engine results in a preferential directivity to any residual disturbing forces. The elimination of balance weights and fly wheel provides a means for minimizing clearance volume from the inlet valve to the working space.
