    摘要: A rotary engine, parts thereof, and methods associated therewith is provided. The engine is modular and adjustable to accommodate a variety of requirements and preferences. The system includes a combustion assembly having a housing and a power rotor positioned therein. The power rotor rotates in a first direction from the beginning of each combustion process through the end of each exhaust process. The system also includes a compression assembly linked to the combustion assembly such that the compression rotor rotates in the first direction from the beginning of each intake process through the end of each compression process. A tank assembly in fluid communication with the compression assembly and the combustion assembly provides stability to the system while eliminating or otherwise reducing transitional loses.

    摘要: Closing timing of an intake port is changed without using a variable valve timing mechanism. An electric vehicle includes an engine for electricity generation in which closing timing of an intake port maximizes intake air charging efficiency in a specific revolution speed region, a sensor which outputs a signal related to a revolution speed of the engine, a controller which drives the engine at a revolution speed based on the signal of the sensor, a requested electricity generation amount being satisfied at the revolution speed, and a motor which applies a positive or negative torque to the engine. When the engine is driven in a revolution speed region other than the specific revolution speed region, the controller uses the motor to apply a positive or a negative torque to the engine in an intake stroke to change the closing timing of the intake port to increase intake air charging efficiency.

    摘要: A compound engine assembly for use as an auxiliary power unit for an aircraft and including an engine core with internal combustion engine(s), a compressor having an outlet in fluid communication with an engine core inlet, a bleed conduit in fluid communication with the compressor outlet through a bleed air valve, and a turbine section having an inlet in fluid communication with the engine core outlet and configured to compound power with the engine core. The turbine section may include a first stage turbine having an inlet in fluid communication with the engine core outlet and a second stage turbine having an inlet in fluid communication the first stage turbine outlet. A method of providing compressed air and electrical power to an aircraft is also discussed.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine for producing mechanical drive power by combustion of a fuel. The internal combustion engine includes two or three rotary pistons which are rotationally fixedly connected to an output shaft and rotatably arranged in a respective annular cylinder, and at least one passage between the annular cylinders and a respective movable shut-off slide valve for periodically closing the cylinders adjacent to the passage.

    摘要: A six-stroke rotary-vane internal combustion engine includes a stator having working chambers for intake and compression of air-fuel mixture alternating with working chambers for expansion and removing of combustion products, and a cylindrical rotor including longitudinal grooves housing blades. Side walls of all the working chambers are formed by rotating parts of the rotor, the combustion chambers are formed as hemispherical recesses on a cylindrical surface of the rotor, the working chambers of the stator are formed as cylindrical borings with axes parallel to the stator axis and evenly spaced along an inner surface of the stator, each blade consists of separate plates freely displaceable relative to each other, each plate of the blade being made of two parts movable apart in axial direction by a spring, the number of blades is a multiple of the number of the chambers for intake of air-fuel mixture.
