ABSTRACT:
A tubular housing having a circular inner surface provided with a plurality of recesses receiving pistons movable pivotally between a position fully retracted in the recesses and a position projecting radially inwardly from the housing. A rotor is rotatably supported centrally in the housing and has peripheral cavities equal in number to the number of pistons in the housing and capable of receiving the pistons in portions of their pivotal movement to perform with the pistons functions of fuel intake, fuel compression, firing and exhaust. The housing has fuel intake ports, spark plugs and exhaust outlet ports operable in conjunction with the rotor and pistons to perform the engine functions. The pistons are moved inwardly into the cavities during certain operations of the engine by levers operably connected to the rotor. The engine has coolant and oil circulating structure to cool it and to lubricate it. In addition, seals are associated with the pistons and rotor to prevent the escape of power.
