ABSTRACT:
Internal combustion engine having a rotating closed cylinder housing mounted to a fixed frame and means to harness the rotation of the cylinder housing to rotate an output shaft. The cylinder housing contains a double ended piston to define two combustion chambers between the corresponding ends of the piston and the cylinder housing. Alternating combustion of fuel in the combustion chambers reciprocates the piston within the cylinder housing. A Scotch yoke mechanism linking the cylinder, piston, and frame harnesses the reciprocating motion of the piston within the cylinder housing to rotate the cylinder housing. In a preferred embodiment of the invention a second cylinder housing counterrotates about a common axis to cancel the spin angular momentum of the first housing and to double the power provided by the engine. The engine employs a two stroke combustion cycle in a preferred embodiment of the invention. Suitable valve and conduit means regulate the entry of air and fuel and the venting of exhaust gases to allow combustion to take place within the combustion chambers.
