ROTATING PISTON DEVICE WITH PISTONS CONTINUOUSLY CHANGING CIRCUMFERENTIAL BETWEEN THEM

摘要

Axially protruding and centrally coolable pistons rotate within a cylindrical main chamber. Each piston is individually kinetically linked to a flywheel. As the pistons are individually accelerated and decelerated along their continuous rotating path, rotating volumes between them angularly expand and contract. Inlets and outlets communicate fluid in correspondence with expansion and contraction phases of the rotating volumes. Radially guided driving pistons of the kinetic linkage may modulate secondary rotating volumes adjacent the main chamber for a dual stage compression and expansion with intermittent fluid cooling or heating. Inlets and outlets may be angularly changed for variable compression and combustion engine peak pressures, expansion end pressure, for brake energy recycling and burst mode engine operation.
