Abstract: This invention relates to an internal-combustion engine of generally spherical configuration having a generally spherical rotor mounted on a rotor shaft in a generally spherical shell. Combustion chambers are formed in appropriate recesses in the rotor and the inside of the spherical shell. The recesses are bounded by fixed partitions and movable pistons between the fixed partitions so that a series of combustion chambers are formed one on each side of each piston. The pistons are each connected to a central hub at the center of the rotor, and the hub is rotatable to a limited extent in a direction perpendicular to the rotor shaft. The pistons are therefore able to sweep through limited angular motion and during each motion increase the volume of one series of combustion chambers and decrease the volume of the other series of combustion chambers. A mechanical activating mechanism is provided so that the central hub is caused to rotate in a reciprocating manner through various angular positions that are predetermined in relation to the angular position of the rotor; in this manner the piston sweeping motion is precisely linked to the angular position of the rotor. Appropriate ports and ignition components are provided so that fuel and air can enter the various combustion chambers in proper sequence, be compressed, burned and exhausted also in proper sequence.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods are used to sense powered vehicle operating conditions, and compute and display to the operator the instant, most advantageous or optimum speed for conditions based on variable and fixed costs for that particular vehicle. Instead of the conventional or traditional display of fuel consumption relative to distance, the invention computes and displays the speed at which all cost factors result in optimal utilization of resources. If adhered to by the operator, either manually or through direct interface with vehicle speed control, this speed will provide the best balance between distance traveled per unit time with minimum negative impact from fixed and operating costs, resulting in minimum overall operating cost as well as maximum profit potential for the commercial operator. In addition, waste of valuable and limited-supply fossil fuel is minimized by encouraging avoidance of excessive speeds that waste fuel.
