ABSTRACT:
A novel rotary prime mover is provided having a generally cylindrical casing including an axial air intake, an axial exhaust outlet and bearing means at each circular end thereof to support a longitudinally arranged shaft. A flywheel block is rotatably mounted within the casing on the longitudinally arranged shaft and is arranged intermediate the air inlet and the exhaust outlet. The longitudinal shaft has a fuel inlet passage concentrically bored therethrough. The flywheel block includes at least two balanced diametrically opposed jet reaction engines recessed and secured in a specifically recited manner at the circumferential edge thereof. Each jet reaction engine is of a specified cylindrical construction to provide an adjustable ignition head, having air inlet passages and an ignition device associated therewith, an adjustable exhaust liner, a fuel infeed zone fed by a fuel inlet connected to the fuel inlet passage to feed fuel automatically to a combustion zone, and a source of ignition power connected to the ignition device through the casing. In this way, operation of the jet reaction engines causes powered rotation of the flywheel block, so that power may be taken off the shaft. Thus, there is now provided a simple prime mover having a minimum of moving parts, in which the rotary member, the jet reaction member and the stationary casing are so interrelated as to provide an ultimate efficient engine.
