Abstract:
The invention relates to a novel pressure engine, in particular an internal combustion engine which includes an annular structure, a driven shaft running along the annular axis, an annular housing with a housing wall and at least one rotating piston that rotates in the annular housing along a circuit in a sealed manner in relation to the housing. The piston is rotationally fixed to the driven shaft by a connection member and delimits a segment shaped combustion chamber that rotates with the piston, at least on the side lying in the rotation direction when viewed from the combustion chamber. The chamber has connections at given points on the annular housing to a compressed air supply and to an exhaust system. This piston has a piston housing which contains an inner piston which is pushed towards the combustion chamber by a pre-tensioning force.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved rotary engine having one positive motion stroke, the rotary engine comprising at least one of a piston having at least one piston vane. At least one of a unidirectional bearing is operationally coupled to the piston, wherein the piston is configured to allow the piston vane to rotate and the unidirectional bearing prevents the piston vane from rotating during a combustive force or a thrust force injection. A peddle block is positioned in the pathway of the piston vane, wherein as the piston vane approaches the peddle block a secondary exhaust pressure increases against the piston vane surface, the secondary exhaust pressure, in part, causes the piston vane to rotate and self-align for a subsequent cycle. Other exemplary embodiments allow for a secondary exhaust pressure to rotate a piston vane causing the piston vane to self-aligning for the next cycle.
Abstract:
The problems of prior compressor structures relying upon conventional check valves are obviated by using, instead, flow control passages which operate to control flow while avoiding mechanical moving elements which may become problematical.
Abstract:
The subject of the invention is a variable-volume rotary device with a housing (1) comprising an inner spherical cavity, inlet and exhaust ports and a bypass flow path. Within the housing (1) a rotary displacement member with spherical outer configurations capable of revolving around the center point of the spherical inner surface of the housing is mounted. Said rotary displacement member is equipped with a centrally disposed, disc-shaped partition (6) that forms a mutually isolated division in the spherical inner cavity of the housing (1) and has two pivot vanes (7, 8), splitting the housing cavity further into four isolated quadrants, the volume of which vary during gyration. Vanes (7, 8) are similar in shape to orange segments. Vanes (7, 8) are connected to opposing sides of and along the diameters of the central disc (6), and extend in mutually perpendicular planes, allowing for rotary movement. Inlet- and exhaust ports are arranged on the housing (1) so that, when the rotary displacement member is in motion, the inlet port connects only to a quadrant represented by the smaller spherical projection of the disc (6) within the inner spherical cavity of the housing (1), whereas the exhaust port only meets a quadrant indicated by the larger spherical projection of the disc (6) within the inner spherical cavity of the housing (1).
Abstract:
A rotary engine with multiple pivotally mounted lobes desmodromically extendible and retractable from a rotor to trace asymmetric volumes for inlet and compression and expansion and exhaust based on the contour of the engine case which the lobes sealingly engage.
Abstract:
The aim of the invention is to dispense with the disadvantages of previous engines either fully or partially. This is achieved by means of two cylindrical parts (1,3,5) which rotate into each other, respectively possessing a wing (2,4) and which can rotate about an axis at different speeds. Similar to a four-stroke engine, the following occurs: induction of an air-fuel mixture, compression until self-ignition, creation of a working stroke and discharge of combustion gases. The variable inlet and outlet opening times are controlled according to a control bushing (12) and a special stepper motor (62). The rotating wings are controlled by freewheeling and by unilaterally acting hydrodynamic brakes or secured against reversed rotation. In relation to the cylinder core (13), two functional variable work chambers arise for each disk discharge elements which were not possible with the previously rigid engine structure. As a result new technical options are provided, especially regarding the use of novel (ceramic) materials. The engine can be used as a drive engine or, when modified, as a steam engine, compressor or pump.
Abstract:
An apparatus for a rotary internal combustion engine. The engine has three rotating members that orbit about the center of a three-armed rotor as the rotor rotates within a housing with three lobes. The tips of the rotating members engage the lobes and a circular cutout in the rotor (1002) as the rotor rotates. A back plate includes inlet and exhaust ports that are sequentially opened and closed by the rotating members and rotor as they move within the housing. A front plate rotates with the rotor and separates the combustion chambers from a planetary gear assembly that ensures the alignment of the rotating members as they orbit the rotor shaft. Fuel is injected after the compression cycle is initiated.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine with rotating pistons works on the basis of the cat and mouse principle. The charge is axially exchanged over one of the housing lids (28) and the adjacent rotary side disk (24). The combustion chambers (34) are formed by axially open recesses in the pistons (24) of the outer rotor (12) which communicate transversely to the axial direction with the adjacent working chambers (20). The fuel is supplied by injection nozzles (30) oriented in the corresponding housing lid (28) in the direction of the rotary side disk (24).
Abstract:
A fuel control apparatus of an engine comprises fuel control means for controlling fuel supply means so that an amount of fuel supplied to the engine corresponds to an intake pressure on the basis of a signal outputted from intake pressure detecting means for detecting the intake pressure of an intake passageway, intake resistance changing means for changing a resistance of the intake air flowing through the intake passageway correspondingly to the operating condition of the engine, and correction means for correcting a supply amount of the fuel to be controlled by the fuel control means when the resistance of the intake air flowing through the intake passageway is changed by the intake resistance changing means.
Abstract:
A stratified charge rotary combustion includes separate pilot and main fuel injector nozzles, a fuel tank and an engine driven injector pump. A fuel supply valve includes a shuttle member which moves in response to pressure from the pump to transfer a pilot quantity of fuel to the pilot nozzle and then to communicate fuel from the pump to the main nozzle.
