ABSTRACT:
A rotary internal combustion engine which includes a housing having a cylindrical inner peripheral wall surface, a hollow, cylindrical rotor rotatably shaft-mounted in the housing in eccentric relationship with respect to the housing, a cylindrical vane track positioned in the hollow cavity of the rotor and located in the center of the housing, and vanes slidably and radially disposed in the walls of the rotor and adapted to traverse the vane track and inner peripheral wall surface of the housing as the rotor rotates. The rotor and vanes cooperate with the housing to define a plurality of chambers which become successively smaller as they are charged with fuel and approach the firing area of the housing, and larger after combustion as they approach the exhaust and intake segments of the housing.
