ABSTRACT:
A rotary internal combustion engine is described and shown having two piston and cylinder assemblies rotating about a single axis. The pistons reciprocate in rotating cylinders having a four cycle internal combustion engine process to receive air and fuel, to compress the air and fuel, to combust the mixture and to exhaust the gases therefrom. The pistons move in a set relation to each other, being connected by a common rod. The center of rotation of the pistons is dynamic relative to the center of rotation of the cylinders and cylinder blocks. Intake and exhaust valves are positioned about the periphery of the rotor assembly, and have staggered opening and closing schedules in order that air and fuel may be admitted and gases scavenged in accordance with the four cycle internal combustion engine principle. Rotating valve members having diametrical passages are rotated by a common drive, but positioned relative to each other so that their openings sequentially open and close to coordinate with the rotating rotor assembly. Alternative embodiments for use as a compressor are described.
