An inverse peristaltic engine system having a fixed principal chamber (1), substantially circular in cross section, housing a series of traveling combustion chambers. The inner and outer interior walls of the principal chamber are contoured so that the width of the principal chamber varies with respect to position. The combustion chambers consist of a cylinder (5) housing two opposing pistons (10). The connecting rod on each of the pistons has been modified to include two pairs of wheels (9) which contact the contoured surfaces of the principal chamber's inner walls. As the cylinders travel through the principal chamber, the pistons are forced to move toward one another and apart from one another as the space between the walls of the principal chamber varies during their travel. Further provided is a plurality of ports in the ceiling and floor of the principal chamber and port interfaces in the top and bottom sides of the cylinders, which together provide for the intake and exhausting of fuel. Additionally, several drive spokes (7) are attached to the ring of cylinders so that it may rotate the driveshaft at the center of the engine as the cylinders travel in a circular path through the principal chamber.
