ABSTRACT:
A tangential driven rotary engine (10) comprising an engine block (12) having a plurality of cylinder combustion chambers (14) radially positioned therein. A plurality of pistons (16) are each movable and disposed within each cylinder combustion chamber (14) in the engine block (12). A plurality of spark plugs (18) are each radially positioned on the engine block (12) to extend into one cylinder combustion chamber (14). A plurality of intake valves (20) are each radially positioned on the engine block (12) to extend into one cylinder combustion chamber (14). A plurality of exhaust valves (22) are each radially positioned on the engine block (12) to extend into one cylinder combustion chamber (14). A main motor shaft (24) extends centrally through the engine block (12) with the cylinder combustion chambers (14) and the pistons (16) radially positioned thereabout. A facility (26) is for changing the reciprocating motion of the pistons (16) into a rotary motion for the main motor shaft (24). A component 28 on the main motor shaft (24) is for operating each of the spark plugs (18), each of the intake valves (20) and each of the exhaust valves (22) in timed intervals.
