ABSTRACT:
A rotary valve engine includes an engine block having at least one combustion chamber which is sealed by a rotary valve which also can function as a head. The rotary valve includes an intake passage and an exhaust passage for directing intake air into the combustion chamber and for exhausting combustion gases from the combustion chamber as the valve rotates. In a preferred embodiment of the invention, a single rotary valve is associated with a plurality of combustion chambers for directing intake air into the combustion chambers and exhaust gases from the combustion chambers in succession as the valve rotates. Also, in a preferred embodiment of the invention, a spark plug and fuel injector are mounted on the rotary valve for injecting and igniting fuel in each combustion chamber.
