ABSTRACT:
A fluid power transfer device includes a pair of rotors and vanes mounted for rotation in a hollow housing having an equatorial plane wherein conical faces of the rotors rollingly engage each other to form a line contact and wherein a hinge pin which hingedly connects the vanes is constrained to rotate in the equatorial plane of the housing by two pairs of guide shoes. The guide shoes are slidably received within grooves formed on the inner surface of the housing and each of the hinged vanes in slidably received and connected to its guide shoes within its respective rotor. The conical faces and the housing cooperate to define a working chamber which is divided into working compartments by the hinged vanes and the line contact. The rotors transfer power between their respective shafts and an operating fluid introduced into one of the working compartments. A fuel system is also disclosed for use with the device when operated as an engine.
