QUASITURBINE (QURBINE) ZERO VIBRATION - CONTINUOUS COMBUSTION ROTARY ENGINE, COMPRESOR AND PUMP

摘要

This invention results from a search for a hybrid piston-turbine engine. The inv ention comprises four carriages 12 supporting pivots 14 of a four-element, variable-shape rotor 10, and rolling on the inner surface of a profile shaped like a skating rink 16 (just like a roller bearing). This device can act as a pump, c ompressor, flow meter, or engine (including pressured fluid mechanical energy converter). It is self-synchronized and uses no valves (only fix ports 32,34,36,38 in the stator). Central support for the rotor is generally not neede d. Four cycles are completed in every rotation. Maximum geometrical compression ratio is a function of the maximum dia gonal ratio selected at design. As in turbines, ignition is required only initially, since combustion is continuous be tween successive cycles throughout an ignition transfer slot 42, producing an enhanced dynamic compression ratio. This device uses relatively few parts. It has an excellent torque continuity even at low rpm and is also suitable for high ly reliable uses like in aeronautics, or for submerged applications.
