ABSTRACT:
A rotary engine includes a tri-lobular casing provided an elliptical piston having two opposite faces alternately cooperating to define one of three firing chambers with a segment of the casing wall. Gearing and eccentric means supporting the piston within the casing and connected to side plates translate the location of the center axis of the piston 120.degree. relative the center of the casing during each firing stroke thereof as one nose of the piston travels a distance substantially three times that of the opposite nose whereby six firing strokes take place during each 360.degree. revolution of the piston.
