ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion engine wherein a rotor is turnable within a housing while having an outer periphery which defines a circular channel with an inner periphery of the housing, the rotor having a pair of diametrically opposed projections end surfaces of which fluid-tightly and slidably engage the inner periphery of the housing. At least a pair of rotary members are connected with the housing while having a sealed, fluid-tight engagement therewith, these rotary members extending into the channel between the inner periphery of the housing and the outer periphery of the rotor and having a fluid-tight engagement with the outer periphery of the rotor. The rotary members are respectively formed with pockets which receive the projections as each projection moves past each rotary member. One of the rotary members serves to control the flow of combustible fluid into the channel as well as the discharge of exhaust gas therefrom, while the other of the rotary members defines a combustion chamber with each projection during travel of the latter past this other rotary member.
