<p>A rotary engine comprises a substantially circular hollow chamber including an outer wall portion and an inner wall portion. A piston moves through the chamber in response to combustion of a fuel and air mixture in the chamber, the piston being connected to a piston rod which drives a shaft outside the chamber. A gate is formed in the chamber to provide a transverse seal therein, the gate and piston being configured so that the piston or gate are movable relative to each other between a first position in which the chamber is sealed by the gate and a second position in which the piston avoids the gate as it moves through the chamber.</p> |
