ABSTRACT:
A pair of counter-rotating rotors operate in communicating rotor chambers of a common rotor housing. The rotors are pocketed in their peripheries and alternating pockets of each rotor receive vane-piston rollers of the opposing rotor with the vane-piston rollers intermeshing during rotor rotation. The peripheral rotor pockets form secondary relatively high compression combustion chambers having a secondary fuel supply independent of the supply to a primary combustion space between the two rotors and adjacent eccentric wall portions of the rotor chambers. During engine operation, the vane-piston rollers constantly engage the chamber walls due to centrifugal force and are radially guided by central fixed cams. Four cycle piston engine operation is closely simulated and major virtues of rotary and reciprocating piston engine types are retained while major disadvantages of each engine type are eliminated in a hybrid engine.
