ABSTRACT:
A rotational machine developed mechanical power from the reciprocation of a free-piston in a closed cylinder to drive a mechanical output shaft or electrical generator or conversely operated in a pumping mode utilizes the rotation of an output drive to pump fluid by means of the free piston. The machine generally described has a frame means or outer body rotating about a first axis or shaft, a carrier means rotating about a second axis orthogonal to the first axis, the chamber or cylinder extending generally parallel to the second axis and orthogonal to the first axis. As the frame means rotates and the piston reciprocates, the reaction forces on the piston are translated into a torque producing rotation of the carrier means. Power is therefore developed at the carrier means in the engine mode of operation. Frame means rotation is effected by coupling to the carrier means or an independent prime mover.
