RECIPROCATING ROTARY ENGINE

摘要

RECIPROCATING ROTARY ENGINE Rotary engine having a hollow, stationary block with manifolds for air inlet and exhaust valving and means for supplying fuel. The block supports one or more inline cylinders which are provided with opposed pistons equipped with rigid and constrained piston rods. The rods carry bearings that run along a cam track surface interior . to a disc, the outer surface of which is a right circular cylinder. The surrounding right circular cylinder rotates as a result of the linear movement of the opposed pistons thereby providing mechanical power. The cam surface is a continuous track which determines the out put motion of the piston movement between top and bottom dead center. Arcuate areas at top and/or bottom dead center permit constant volume combustion and/or exhaust as desired during a particular cycle, whether that cycle be Otto or Diesel and whether it be two or four stroke.
