A machine such as an Internal Combustion Engine, Compressor, Pump or Blower, in which a reciprocating mechanism (4, 5, 6), is housed in a circular rotor (2) which is free to rotate about its axis of rotation and is itself housed within the inner circular surface of a stationary outer housing (1) whose axis is coaxial with that of the rotor. The open ended cylinder or sleeve (3) in which the piston is housed is orientated so that its axis does not pass through the axis of rotation of the rotor such that as it performs its reciprocating motion, the reciprocating mechanism along with the rotor, is made to simultaneously revolve around the axis of a stationary sun gear (8) or coaxial sun gears whose axis is also coaxial with the axis of the rotor, by means of a planetary gear (7) or gears fixed to the crankshaft axis which meshes with the sun gear.
