<p>A rotary internal combustion engine comprising a housingcontaining a rotatable cylinder (28) having a circular wall (30)containing at least two rows of radially extending circularpassageways (34, 36, 38) forming compression and power enginecylinders, respectively, displaced from each other along the axisof rotation. Each of the engine cylinders contains a freelyreciprocal and rotatable spherical piston (42, 44, 46) Astationary cam is mounted within the housing surrounding each ofthe rows of engine cylinders, each cam consisting of a pair ofedges (A, B) (C, D) (E, F) circular in diameter whose axiscoincides with the axis of rotation of the rotatable cylinder.Each pair of edges is in contact with all of the spherical pistonswithin its respective row, the spacing of the edges varying over360 degrees of rotation so that the spherical pistons move at auniform velocity within each cylinder.10 claims, 11 figures</p> |
