1. An internal combustion engine operating in an open Brayton cycle with a combustion cycle performing at constant pressure, said engine comprising:
an air compressor,
wherein said air compressor including at least one of a centrifugal air compressor and an axial air compressor, a plenum of substantially tubular shape in gaseous communication with said air compressor, a combustion chamber shroud of substantially tubular shape in gaseous communication with said plenum a combustion chamber liner, perforated, and of substantially tubular shape fixedly attached within said combustion chamber shroud, a fuel metering means in gaseous communication with said combustion chamber liner, a mixing means to mix compressed air and fuel within said combustion chamber liner, an ignition means to ignite the mixture of compressed air and fuel in said combustion chamber liner, a power extraction means in gaseous communication with said combustion chamber liner,
wherein, said power extraction means further comprises;
a rotor encasement,an intake port in gaseous communication with a cavity of said rotor encasement,an exhaust port in gaseous communication with a cavity of said rotor encasement,a first rotor, oblong in shape and closely confined within said rotor encasement, having at least two opposing protrusions and two opposing cavities longitudinally aligned on said first rotor, said cavities providing a clearance for said protrusions during the time of the cycle when said protrusions are in proximity to said cavities,a second rotor, oblong in shape and closely confined within said rotor encasement and in close rolling contact with said first rotor, having at least two opposing protrusions and two opposing cavities in longitudinal alignment, said cavities providing a clearance for said protrusions during the time of the cycle when said protrusions are in proximity to said cavities,a first rotor and a second rotor in close rolling contact with each other, the first rotor and second rotor being oblong in shape and closely confined within said rotor encasement, and each having at least two opposing longitudinally aligned protrusions and two opposing longitudinally aligned cavities, said cavities on the first and second rotors providing a clearance for said protrusions on the second and first rotors respectively during the time of the cycle when said protrusions are in proximity to said cavities, a first hollow shaft at the center of said first rotor,a second hollow shaft at the center of said second rotor,a first bearing means attached to said first hollow shaft of said first rotor, andsecond bearing means attached to said second hollow shaft of said second rotor,
wherein said first and second bearing means provides a rotational coupling between said first hollow shaft of said first rotor and said rotor encasement, and between said second hollow shaft of said second rotor and said rotor encasement,sealing means to prevent lubricant used in said first and second bearing means from escaping from said first and second bearing means,a first gearing means fixedly attached to said first hollow shaft of said first rotor, anda second gearing means fixedly attached to said second hollow shaft of said second rotor,
wherein, said first gearing means and said second gearing means are enmeshed to provide a counter-rotational movement to said first rotor and said second rotor. |
