A rotary internal combustion engine which has a rotating drum supported in a stationary housing is disclosed. The rotating drum has one bank of cylinders for taking in and compressing the fuel/air mixture and another bank of cylinders for generating power and exhausting the combustion products. The compressed fuel/air mixture passes through a combustion chamber, where it is ignited, before entering the power generating cylinders. The combustion chamber is fixed to the stationary outer housing. The piston rods connecting the pistons to an eccentric shaft are pivotally articulated at both of each piston rod's ends. Because of the geometry of the drum, pistons, connecting rods, and the eccentric shaft, high pressure combustion products power the rotation of the drum. A power output shaft is rigidly fixed to the drum and allows the engine of the present invention to drive other equipment.
