The internal combustion engine comprises a stator (1, 9) and a rotor (7) rotatably mounted on the stator (1, 9). The stator (1, 9) comprises at least one stationary combustion chamber (11) having an outflow opening (19) directed towards the rotor (7). On the rotor there is provided at least one working surface (25) movable past the outflow opening (19) charged by the outflowing combustion gases. Charging and ignition equipment charges the combustion chamber (11) intermittently with combustion gas and ignites the charge. The charging and ignition equipment includes a compressor which chages the compressed combustion gas substantially oppositely to the direction (43) of outflow of the iginited combustion gases from the combustion chamber (11). The working surface (25) is formed by an expansion chamber (15) of the rotor and expands the used combustion gases, which are deflected substantially oppositely to the direction of introduction, preferably in one single expansion step, substantially to the ambient pressure of their outlet opening, that is atmospheric pressure.
