A peristaltic engine including two members and a conduit with a varying cross-sectional area disposed on the outer surface of one of the two members in the form of a helix. Each member has an axis and an outer surface in close proximity of each other forming a pinch point therebetween. The conduit has a combustible fluid disposed therein. The pinch point causes the combustible fluid within the conduit to compress. Then, the combustible fluid expands when the cross-sectional area of the conduit increases, thereby causing the two members to rotate and produce torque along their axis.
