Two piston plates are mounted for rotation and axial reciprocation in the bore of a cylindrical housing, and at right angles to each other. Each plate carries on opposite ends thereof a pair of pistons which reciprocate in spaced bores formed in a pair of rotary cylinder plates located in opposite ends of the housing. Each cylinder plate has an integral shaft projecting therefrom to the exterior of the housing. A plurality of roller cam followers project from opposite sides of the piston plates into a sinusoidally shaped cam track formed in the bore of the housing, so that when fuel is fed into the piston bores and properly ignited, the reciprocation imparted to the piston plates causes the cam followers to roll in the undulating cam track to impart rotation to the cylinder plates and to the shafts which project therefrom.
