<p>An internal combustion engine (10) for driving a power shaft, the engine comprising a cylindrical rotor (12) rotatably mounted between opposing faceplates and adapted to rotate about a rotor axis (X). The rotor comprises a plurality of fixed volume fuel ignition compartments (40), each fuel ignition compartment defined circumferentially by a cylindrical sidewall (42) of the rotor and by a central hub (44), and defined radially by radial vanes (46) of the rotor. Each radial vane is connected to the sidewall at one end and to the central hub at an opposite end. The fuel ignition compartments are closed axially by the opposite faceplates. At least one of the faceplates comprises a gas exhaust port (19). A power cylinder (20, 22), comprising a reciprocating piston therein and an exhaust valve, is in direct gas communication with the gas exhaust port. For a two-cylinder engine, each fuel ignition compartment further comprises a pair of symmetrical axial blocking plates extending between the radial vanes parallel to and in contact with the faceplates.</p> |
