Four disc IC engine with circulating pistons

摘要

The engine has two work (3) and two compression (4) discs, which with equally sized gearwheels are firmly connected by a shaft. The pistons of the one disc insert in the intermediate spaces of the other discs. The two shafts (9,10) are located in a basic frame (1) and the discs are covered with the housing (2).All functions are controlled by slots and regulated by the pistons. The scavenging of the outer combustion chambers takes place in such a manner that the aspirated fresh air is pre-compressed and then firstly reaches the combustion chambers via the opened slots (14,20) and the still remaining residual gases from the previous work action are pressed via the slot (19) in one piston (4) of the work disc (3) into the exhaust gas aperture (13).
