ABSTRACT:
A rotary piston engine whose two pistons each have one or more sectors of greater radial dimensions sealingly engaging inner walls of two cylindrical, intersecting cavities respectively receiving the pistons, and one or more sectors of smaller radial dimensions which engage the larger sectors in all angular positions of the piston and radially bound working chambers with the inner casing wall. The pistons are coupled for simultaneous rotation of equal angular velocity, and the working chambers expand and contract cyclically because they are circumferentially bounded by the larger piston sectors and by a sealing arrangement connecting the engaged piston portions. A compressor drivingly connected to one of the rotary pistons supplies compressed fluid to the working chamber when it is at its minimum volume, and explosion of the fluid expands the chamber and turns the piston.
