摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a rotary internal combustion engine (10) that extracts power from expansion gases supplied to a rotary power-extraction assembly (300), and related methods. The disclosed engines include a compressor assembly (100), a combustion assembly (200), and a rotary power-extraction assembly (300). The compressor assembly (100) supplies a compressed charge to the combustion assembly (200). The combustion assembly (200) initiates combustion and discharges expansion gases to the rotary power-extraction assembly (300). A rotary power-extraction assembly (300) can be configured to include an annular chamber (310) where expansion gases drive a power rotor (306).</p> |
