    摘要: A pivoting flap valve is provided for an internal combustion rotary that produces mechanical torque. The engine includes an annular planar housing with a substantially circular annulus flanked by first and second cavities, an axial shaft, a rotor disposed on the shaft and rotating within the annulus. The valve is disposed within one cavity of said cavities and includes an arc wedge and a pivot shaft. The wedge has outer convex surface and an inner concave surface and a shaft hole between and parallel to the surfaces along a rocking axis. The pivot shaft passes through the shaft hole that enables the wedge to rock back and forth within the cavity in the annular planar housing without interference with the cam block. Each valve includes indents to pass around fore and aft circular wings on a rotor. The engine includes the housing, the rotor, first and second sparkplugs, first and second flap valves, an axial shaft and fore-and-aft covers. The housing includes a quadrilateral symmetry including a substantially circular annulus flanked by first and second cavities. The wings of the rotor intermittently block at least one port while the axial shaft rotates.

    摘要: An internal combustion rotary engine is provided for producing mechanical torque. The engine includes an annular planar housing, a rotor, sparkplugs, flap valves, an axial shaft and fore-and-aft covers. The housing includes a quadrilateral symmetry including a substantially circular annulus flanked by first and second cavities. The rotor has a cam block sandwiched between fore and aft circular wings. The sparkplugs are respectively accessible to the second cavities. The flap valves rock within the respective cavities and within the cam block. Each valve includes indents to pass around the wings. The fuel intake provides fuel to the cavities. The axial shaft rotates the rotor within the housing. Covers, each having a center orifice and a pair of ports exposed to ambient and respectively adjacent the first and second cavities. The wings intermittently block at least one port while the rotor rotates.
