ROTARY ENGINES, SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

Rotary engine and operational methods wherein a rotor rotates within a stator having an enclosed combustion housing. Housing seals bear upon the rotor and seals on the rotor move in response to the housing interior wall. Combustion chambers are defined between the stator, stator seals, rotor and rotor seals. Multiple combustion chambers are provided for increased torque and varied firing frequencies. Multiple ignitions can be performed per chamber per revolution to provide high torque. The average firings per revolution and fuel and air introduction may be controlled to provide various frequencies and patterns of combustion chamber activity and operating pressures to optimize performance and economy.
