Rotary engine with rotary power heads

摘要

A rotary engine includes a casing having a first circular boring and a second circular boring smaller than the first circular boring. The first circular boring interconnects with the second circular boring. A piston rotor can move in a rotating manner within the first circular boring in the casing. A power head, ported to pass exhaust gases through a hollow center shaft, can move in a rotating manner within the second circular boring in the casing. The piston rotor and the power head can be coupled via a gear system to properly rotate during operation, with the piston rotor rotating counterclockwise and the power head rotating clockwise, or vice versa.

主权项

1. A rotary engine comprising:
a casing having a first circular boring of a first size and a second circular boring of a second size that is smaller than the first size, wherein the first circular boring is interconnected with the second circular boring; a piston rotor having one or more pistons positioned in the first circular boring and movable in a rotating manner within the first circular boring in the casing, the piston rotor having at least three depressions formed in a circumference of the piston rotor, the at least three depressions defining, within the first circular boring:
one or more intake/compression chambers,one or more power/exhaust chambers, wherein each of the one or more power/exhaust chambers is adjacent to a respective intake/compression chamber, andone or more cooling chambers, wherein each of the one or more cooling chambers is between a respective intake/compression chamber and a respective power/exhaust chamber; a power head positioned within the second circular boring and configured to rotate within the second circular boring, the power head including an exhaust port to vent exhaust gases into a ported hollow center shaft within the power head; a rotor shaft extending centrally from the piston rotor; a carburetor having a fuel intake port and an air intake port in gaseous communication with the collector ring to supply the fuel/air mixture into the collector ring; and a capacitor discharge solid state ignition system on the casing, the capacitor discharge solid state ignition system having a spark plug module that is located under the power head, wherein the spark plug module is configured to ignite a fuel/air mixture in the one or more intake/compression chambers at or near top dead center.
