<p>A four-stroke endothermic engine with a rotating drum, essentially consisting of a drive shaft (1) onto which a cylindrical drum (9) equipped with fixed radial blades is fitted, said shaft (1) being rotatable inside a stationary body (11), characterised in that said drum (9) internally defines a cylindrical compression chamber within which two pistons (49, 51) are arranged, which perform a reciprocating rotary motion around the drive shaft (1) to provide for the compression of the combustible mixture; said mixture being introduced into the hollow space defined between the drum (9) and the stationary body (11), into the cell (63) defined by two subsequent radial blades, and being dragged by the rotary motion of the drum to the burst chamber (47), the mixture explosion causing rotation of the drum (9) and hence generating the driving force for the whole system.</p> |
