A reciprocating piston engine having rotor and stator members and wherein each piston is driven through periodic power strokes in a cylinder in one member by combustion in the cylinder and is pivotally connected to a circular cam ring which surrounds the cylinder endwise and is rotatable about its center on the other member in eccentric relation to the rotation axis of the rotor member in a manner such that the combustion powered strokes of the piston drive the rotor member in rotation. The particular engine described is an opposed piston engine wherein each engine cylinder is on the stator and contains two opposed pistons connected to the rotor by two eccentric cam rings surrounding the cylinder with their axes located at opposite sides of the rotor axis. Air is supplied to the cylinder through an intake port controlled by one piston and combustion products are exhausted from the cylinder through an exhaust port controlled by the other piston.
