An internal combustion engine that includes a rotary device is disclosed. A rotary head has an expansion chamber that includes intake and exhaust slots. A drum with axial slots radially displaced over its circumference is disposed in close noncontacting proximity to the inner side of the rotary head. The drum and the rotary head are substantially rotationally symmetric about a common axis. Radially moveable plates respond to a mechanical control mechanism adapted to move each plate from a retracted position in which the plate is located entirely within the outer surface of the drum and an extended position in which the plate is in close proximity to an upper surface of the expansion chamber to substantially seal the expansion chamber. At least one of the plates is substantially always present between the intake slot and the exhaust slot such that when the combustion gas is under pressure within the expansion chamber force is exerted on the plate and the drum to produce rotational motion of the rotary head about the common axis.
