ABSTRACT:
A rotary internal combustion engine comprising: a compressor section, a power section and a combustion chamber therebetween. The compressor section may comprise a pair of intermeshing gear members mounted in a compressor housing having an inlet on one side and a discharge on the opposite side. The intermeshing compressor gear members are mounted for rotation in opposite directions to compress and transfer air-fuel mixtures from the inlet to the discharge. The compressor discharge may be connected to the combustion chamber for combustion of the air-fuel mixture therein. The power section may comprise at least one rotor mounted in a housing having an inlet connected to the combustion chamber and through which expanding gases are directed against the periphery of the rotor for driving an output shaft connected thereto. The rotor may be connected to at least one of the compressor gear members for rotation thereof.
