<p>Embodiments of the present invention include a radial cam, internal combustion engine. The cam assembly, which is centrally located inside an engine block, has two-lobes and four raceways. Four cam-following bearings engage with the cam assembly's four offset raceways and are connected to the piston via a connecting rod. The connecting rod's movement is confined by a guide-way system which transmits the lateral forces placed on the cam-following bearings back to the engine block via a removable guide-plate. The connecting rods move the engine's pistons inside a plurality of cylinder barrels, which are dispersed in opposing pairs radially around the cam assembly.</p> |
