An internal combustion engine having an intake cycle, a power cycle, and an exhaust cycle performed over 360-degree rotation of a power output shaft. The intake cycle extends over a first 90 degrees of rotation. The power cycle extends over a following 90 degrees of rotation. A final 180 degrees of rotation performs an exhaust cycle. In a first embodiment, the device includes a conventional cylinder, piston, connecting rod and crank shaft. In a second embodiment a fixed element defines a chamber wherein an offset rotating element includes a vane which expands to maintain contact with an inner surface of the fixed element.
