Two-cycle, single vane impeller, hinged hub rotary engines are simple embodiments of a new class of engines. The 2-cycle, hinged hub rotary engines have dependently rotating impellers with, interdigitated, alternating hub sections, a hinge like rotation joint. These 2-cycle engines have expansion and exhaust cycles. The intake and compression cycles are performed by a synergistic air compressor (fan or piston type). Fuel and oxidizer (e.g. compressed air, from a synergistic air compressor,) are injected, to create combustion mixtures, and spontaneously ignited to start the expansion cycle in the minimized expansion sector(s).

The 4-stroke internal combustion engine with angular and alternate movement of the pistons is different in relation to the existing actually because the movement of their pistons will be neither linear alternate, like in OTTO engine, nor integrally rotative, like in the WANKEL engine. Then, the presented engine gives up the pieces, which have the purpose to change the linear and alternate movement of the pistons into rotative movement, i.e. connecting rods/cranks, like in OTTO engine, because it is possible make the transmission of the angular and alternate movement of the pistons to the motor shaft without any change of the fundamental characteristics of the piston movements. Also the piston movements of the presented engine are not integrally rotative like in WANKEL engine, but alternate, like in OTTO engine. This situation is advantageous because it is possible increase the compression rate, according the rotation level of the engine and so, increases the energetic output to the high rotation levels. On the other hand, the pistons of the presented engine have double face, receiving then, the explosion impulses, on both faces, sequentially in one and another angular movement direction. To achieve that, the cylinders must have toric format in order to allow the angular movement of the pistons and also, they must have double combustion chamber, by cylinder, in order to obtain the explosion action over the piston faces, in one and another rotation direction.

A power generator provides power with minimal CO2, NOx, CO, CH4, and particulate emissions and substantially greater efficiency as compared to traditional power generation techniques. Specifically nitrogen is removed from the combustion cycle, either being replaced by a noble gas as a working gas in a combustion engine. The noble gas is supplemented with oxygen and fuel, to provide a combustion environment substantially free of nitrogen or alternatively working in 100% oxygen-fuel combustion environments. Upon combustion, Very little to no nitrogen is present, and thus there is little production of NOx compounds. Additionally, the exhaust constituents are used in the production of power through work exerted upon expansion of the exhaust products, and the exhaust products are separated into their constituents of noble gas, water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide may be used in conjunction with a biomass to accelerate the biomass growth and to recover the oxygen enriched air resulting from algae photosynthesis for enhancing the operation of the power generator using the as Biomass for processing into methanol/ethanol and biological oils as fuel for the power generator. The biomass fuel is seen as a solar fuel and may be used in conjunctions with other solar fuels like heated thermal oil and others, as well as clean fossil fuels to optimize to clean, and efficient operation of the power generator in various regulatory contexts.

A rotary internal combustion engine has a housing and a working wheel mounted rotatably in the housing. At least one working piston is provided on the working wheel for taking in and compressing air or a fuel-air mixture and for converting gas pressure resulting from combustion of the fuel-air mixture into mechanical energy. A counter wheel with a working piston recess is provided. A combustion chamber for combusting a fuel-air mixture is formed in operation continuously anew between working piston, working wheel, counter wheel, and housing. First air vanes form spokes of the working wheel and take in the fuel-air mixture or the air through the working wheel for pre-compression of air or of a fuel-air mixture. The wheel is pulley-shaped and has an annular channel extending in a circumferential direction. The working piston is arranged fixedly in the annular channel.

The engine includes a housing having a circular cavity with a rotatable flywheel defining a radially extending power piston(s) disposed therein. An abutment disc connects to a compression piston rotor and rotates synchronously with the flywheel. Compression piston(s) rotate on separate axes within the compression piston rotor and move in and out with respect to the outer periphery of the compression piston rotor. A compression piston stator seals off the top of the compression piston rotor causing the compression pistons to compress a charge of gas to be delivered on top of the power piston(s). Fuel is injected and the combustion zone is ignited. The expanding gases force the power piston(s) and flywheel around the housing producing work. The previous products of combustion are forced out the exhaust system in front of the power piston.

A throttle loss recovery turbine and supercharger device (10) comprises a housing (12) having a movable intake port (36) and a separately movable exhaust port (38). An outer drum is rotatably placed within the housing. An inner drum (24) is rotatably disposed within the housing, and within an inside diameter of the outer drum (18). The inner drum has an axis of rotation (30) eccentric to an axis of rotation of the outer drum, defining a variable volume annular space (26) therebetween. The inner and outer drum are configured to rotate within the housing at a 1:1 ratio with one another, and the intake and exhaust ports are each in air flow communication with some portion of the annular space. A number of vanes (20) are each interposed radially between the inner and outer drums. Each vane is pivotably attached at one end (22) to the outer drum, and is attached at an opposite end to the inner drum. At least one drum is coupled to an engine crankshaft. At low load or idle throttle conditions, the device is operated in a throttle loss mode to transfer rotational energy to the engine, and at high load or wide open throttle conditions the device is operated to produce pressurized air to the engine for subsequent combustion.

An oscillating-piston engine comprises a housing, in which several pistons configured as two-armed levers are arranged pivotably, respectively, around a pivot axis being parallel to a central housing axis and movable commonly in a revolution direction. The pistons comprise running surfaces on their side facing away from the housing inner wall, which are guided alongside at least one control cam when the pistons revolve in the housing, of a centrally housing-fixed cam piece, in order to control the pivot movements of the pistons in revolution. The control cam is configured as inner contour on the cam piece, alongside of which the pistons are guided supported to the side of the centrifugal force via the running surfaces. The cam piece comprises another, inner contour configured as a control cam alongside of which the pistons are guided supported to the direction of the central housing axis via the running surfaces.

The present invention is directed toward a rotary combustion motor and method of operation. The rotary combustion engine has a large rotor and two smaller rotors that intersect therewith to form combustion chambers between the large rotor and the two smaller rotors. Gears control the timing between each of the rotors and give one rotation output. Blocks may be stacked and connected together to give additional output, each block containing a large rotor and two smaller rotors. The small rotors are crescent shaped, stacked, and connected together on each side of the large rotors.

Disclosed is a variable-volume rotary machine a principle of which is that the elements, which act as the rotary piston elements, themselves rotate about a secondary axis that passes through the piston element as they orbit about the primary axis of the machine. The operation volume of the present invention is a modified toroidal defined as the volume swept out by the piston elements as they simultaneously orbit the primary axis and rotate about the secondary axes. Described are two preferred embodiments of the present invention, one in which the piston elements rotate about an axis that is perpendicular to the axis of the toroid, and the other in which the piston elements rotate about an axis that is parallel to the axis of the toroid.
