INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE

摘要

An internal combustion engine has a substantially cylindrical piston chamber (2) in which is mounted a piston guide (6) with two opposite, substantially radial bores (7, 8). Pistons (9, 10) which enclose a combustion chamber together with the wall (14) of the bores (9, 10) and the wall (5) of the piston chamber (2), at least in a phased manner, i.e., depending on the angle of rotation, are guided in the bores (7, 8). When the piston guide (6) rotates the pistons (9, 10) are periodically moved back and forth in the radial direction. A turbine chamber (3) communicates with the piston chamber (2) through an opening (17). A turbine (4) is rotatably mounted in the turbine chamber (3) and has an impeller wheel (20) with two radially movable blades. The blades (21, 22) are radially more inwardly located before the opening (17) than after the opening (17). The turbine (4) is linked to the piston guide (6) by a gear (38, 39, 40).
