<p>A combustion engine contains a mechanical rotor (4, 7) comprising at least one working tube (6) that is branched or unbranched, for supplying fuel into the mechanical rotor (4, 7), passing fuel through the working tube (6) and exhausting combustion products from the mechanical rotor (4, 7). The working tube (6) is spatially arranged in the mechanical rotor (4, 7) in such a way that each of its branches comprises a compressor section for compression of fuel until its ignition by the effect of the centrifugal force acting upon the fuel during rotation of the mechanical rotor (4, 7) around the rotation axis, an adjacent combustion section for burning of fuel and an expansion section, adjacent to combustion section, for expansion of fuel combustion products to reduce their pressure and temperature, where the mechanical work obtained by the expansion drives the mechanical rotor (4, 7).The combustion section is more distant from the rotation axis than the compressor section and the expansion section and each branch of the working tube (6) is, in the direction from the entrance of the working tube (6) to the mechanical rotor (4, 7), in its compression section routed in the mechanical rotor (4, 7) in such a way that besides getting farther away from the rotation axis it is also angled in or against the rotation direction of the mechanical rotor (4, 7) so that in the axial direction the part of the housing of the mechanical rotor (4, 7) that covers the combustion section can be as narrow as possible while the expansion section then returns to the rotation axis as well as to the direction of this axis.</p> |
