ABSTRACT:
A rotary internal combustion engine comprising in combination rotary air compressor and rotary power sections having cylindrical chambers having rotatably mounted internal to each chamber a movable vane rotor assembly.
Each movable vane rotor assembly comprises a hollow cylindrical rotor having a movable vane assembly therein having a plurality of three or more vane pivotably connected to a floating vane shaft, said vanes being in sealable abutment with internal surfaces of said cylindrical chambers exterior to said rotor. Consecutive compartments are defined by adjacent vanes in combination with inner chamber and outer rotor and vane surfaces. Compressor and power rotors are connected to common shafts which extend through cover plates which partially enclose the compressor and power chambers.
Compressed air is ducted from the compressor to a power air intake port providing successive compartments with air, said air containing compartment further rotating to a fuel injection port and a fuel-air mixture igniter chamber, whereupon the fuel-air mixture is ignited and expands causing further rotor rotation. Spent fuel-air mixture is exhausted at a power exhaust port.
