A rotary internal combustion engine comprising a stationary, water-cooled housing having a large cylindrical bore in which a hollow cylinder with end walls rotates at a uniform speed. On said cylinder a pair of wedge-shaped pistons is mounted diametrically-opposed to a similar pair of reactor elements carried by a multiple-splined shaft, said reactor elements and said pistons forming a combustion chamber whereby a gas and air mixture is compressed prior to ignition; and while expansion is taking place said reactor moves many degrees oppositely to the uniformly rotating piston and thereby increasing the power of the engine. This reverse rotation of the reactor elements is produced by a gear mechanism which provides a substantial period of reverse rotation and a longer period of rotation in the same direction as the piston, but at a higher speed, whereby the burned gases will be exhausted as the reactor element approaches its mating piston and/or compresses the intake mixture of gas and air between the other of pistons and reactor elements before a second ignition takes place during one revolution of the cylinder.
