GEROTOR APPARATUS FOR A QUASI-ISOTHERMAL BRAYTON CYCLE ENGINE

摘要

A gerotor apparatus includes a first gerotor (16a), a second gerotor (14a), and a synchronizing system (18a) operate to synchronize a rotation of the first gerotor with a rotation of the second gerotor. The synchronizing syste m (18a) includes a cam plate (22a) coupled to the first gerotor (16a), wherein the cam plate (220) includes a plurality of cams (24a), and an alignment pla te (26a) coupled to the second gerotor (14a). The alignment plate (260) include s at least one alignment member (28a), wherein the plurality of cams (24a) and the at least one alignment member (28a) interact to synchronize a rotation o f the first gerotor with a rotation of the second gerotor.
