A rotary internal combustion engine including a housing defining a combustion chamber; a first vane mounted for rotation in the combustion on a fixed axis; a second vane mounted for rotation in the combustion chamber on the fixed axis independently of the first vane: a separate ratchet mechanism respectively engaging the first and second vanes to preclude rotation of the vanes in one direction about the axis while allowing free rotation in the other direction; a converter mechanism, including an output shaft, drivingly connected to the vanes and operative to convert the rotation of the vanes into a unidirectional, constant speed rotation of the output shaft of the converter means; and a supercharger drivingly connected to the output shaft of the converter mechanism and operative to deliver a continuous charge under boost pressure to the input port of the combustion chamber to facilitate starting of the engine and preclude stalling of the engine under idling conditions.
