An engine/pump having a shaft with a shaft axis and a crank shaft with a crank axis oblique to the shaft axis, piston/cylinder assemblies to rotate about the shaft axis, a reciprocator to rotate about the crank shaft to allow during the rotation of the reciprocator about the crank shaft, the reciprocal movement of the pistons in the cylinders, the pistons connected to the reciprocator by several connection means, ported means relative to which the cylinders move sealably to allow times to the reciprocal movement of each piston in the cylinder and the rotational position, the opening and closing of each cylinder. The reciprocator remaining in rotational parity with the piston/cylinder assembly by the use of bevelled alignment gears. The piston/cylinder assemblies are indexed at a predetermined rate to the relative rotation of the crank shaft through indexing means which are preferably a displacement bevelled gearing set.
