ABSTRACT:
A rotating cylinder block piston-cylinder engine has a stator, a hollow rotor housing rotatably mounted on the stator means for rotation around a rotor housing axis of rotation, a plurality of cylinders radially positioned in the peripheral wall of the hollow rotor housing, a piston slidable in each of the cylinders and having a piston rod rigidly mounted thereon and extending radially of the rotor into the hollow rotor housing, a fuel supply connected to the cylinders and the pistons for supplying gaseous fuel into the cylinders which is caused to expand for driving pistons radially inwardly in the cylinders and for exhausting the exhaust gas from the cylinders, a rotatable reaction member in the hollow rotor housing and rotatably mounted on the stator for rotation around a fixed axis offset from the rotor housing axis of rotation and having radially spaced peripherally extending rolling engagement surface around the periphery thereof, and a differential rolling engagement device on the inner ends of each of the piston rods in engagement with the respective rolling engagement surfaces for transmitting the force from the pistons to the reaction member and reaction force from the reaction member to the pistons and for causing the reaction member to rotate.
