PCT No. PCT/IT92/00134 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 26, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 26, 1995 PCT Filed Oct. 30, 1992 PCT Pub. No. WO94/10442 PCT Pub. Date May 11, 1994A machine is disclosed that may be configured as a pump, a compressor or an engine. The machine displaces volume by means of pistons that are connected to a driveshaft without oscillating connecting rods. Cylinders are disposed in a rotating cylinder block that rotates on an axis inclined to the axis of rotation of the pistons. A spherical member centers the driveshaft with respect to the cylinder block, and a biasing means urges the cylinder block against a bearing surface. Displacement may be varied by varying the angle of inclination of the two axes of rotation. |
