<p>An internal combustion engine have a rotor secured to a drive shaft and provided with a curved cylinder near the outer periphery thereof. A beam is rockingly mounted on a hub of the rotor and one end of the beam is connected by a rod to a piston fitted to the cylinder while the opposite end of the beam is connected by a gear train to a rim of the rotor. The arrangement allows the rotor to rotate continuously in one direction carrying with it the piston which is reciprocated in the cylinder by the action of the gear train. During each complete revolution of the rotor there is an intake, compression, power and exhaust stroke of the piston with the power stroke serving to drive the rotor a short distance ahead of the piston and thereby impart a driving impulse to the drive shaft.</p> |
