<p>A rotary engine comprises a casing (1), an annular rotor (3) rotatable within the casing, an output shaft (4) surrounded by the rotor, and a cylindrical lobe (7) rotatably mounted within the rotor. The rotor (3) is formed with an internal gear (5) which meshes with an externally-toothed stationary gear (6) fixed to the casing (1). The lobe (7) is eccentrically mounted relative to the output shaft (4) for limited rotation relative thereto. The rotor (3) and the casing (1) define therebetween at least one combustion chamber (3b), and the engine further comprises a spring (14) which acts between the output shaft (4) and the lobe (7).</p> |
