Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, a gerotor apparatus includes a first gerotor, a second gerotor, and a synchronizing system operable to synchronize a rotation of the first gerotor with a rotation of the second gerotor. The synchronizing system includes a cam plate coupled to the first gerotor, wherein the cam plate includes a plurality of cams, and an alignment plate coupled to the second gerotor. The alignment plate includes at least one alignment member, wherein the plurality of cams and the at least one alignment member interact to synchronize a rotation of the first gerotor with a rotation of the second gerotor.

Abstract: According to one embodiment of the invention, an engine system comprises a housing, an outer gerotor, an inner gerotor, a tip inlet port, a face inlet port, and a tip outlet port. The housing has a first sidewall, a second sidewall, a first endwall, and a second endwall. The outer gerotor is at least partially disposed in the housing and at least partially defines an outer gerotor chamber. The inner gerotor is at least partially disposed within the outer gerotor chamber. The tip inlet port is formed in the first sidewall and allows fluid to enter the outer gerotor chamber. The face inlet port is formed in the first endwall and allows fluid to enter the outer gerotor chamber. The tip outlet port is formed in the second sidewall and allows fluid to exit the outer gerotor chamber.

Abstract translation: 根据本发明的一个实施例，发动机系统包括外壳，外转子，内转子，尖端入口，面入口和尖端出口。 壳体具有第一侧壁，第二侧壁，第一端壁和第二端壁。 外齿轮至少部分地设置在壳体中并且至少部分地限定外齿轮转子室。 内转子运动器至少部分地设置在外转子室内。 尖端入口端口形成在第一侧壁中并允许流体进入外转子室。 面入口形成在第一端壁中并允许流体进入外转子室。 尖端出口形成在第二侧壁中并允许流体离开外转子室。
