Abstract:
A novel rotary engine of the kind having a toroidal cylinder and a set of pistons on a rotating circular piston assembly provides instantaneous adjustment of the displacement volume of the engine by varying the intake and expansion stroke length on the circular path of the pistons through the opening and closing of valves into the engine cylinder under the control of an engine management system responsive to the speed/load conditions of the engine and the throttle position.

Abstract:
A casing (1) with a circular cylindrical internal surface (3) delimits an operating chamber. A rotor (4) orbits about a chamber axis which is the axis of the internal surface (3). The rotor (4) has a circular cylindrical external surface (11), a generatrix of which is adjacent to the internal surface (3), a diametrically opposite genetrix being spaced from the internal surface (3). A vane member (17), mounted on the casing (1) and pivotable about a pivot axis parallel to the chamber axis, is accommodated in a fluid inlet/outlet aperture (18) in the casing, the vane member having a passageway (17a) communicating between the exterior of the casing and the operating chamber. The vane member (17) has an arcuate face (17b) coaxial with the pivot axis, end faces (17b) towards the pivot axis, end faces (17c) extending from the respective lateral ends of the arcuate face (17b) towards the pivot axis, and a tip face (17g) adjacent the rotor (4), these faces (17b, 17c, 17g) being sealing faces with respect to corresponding surfaces of the aperture (18) and the rotor (4). A linkage (28) connects the vane member (17) to the rotor (4) so as to keep the tip face (17g) in sealing contact with the external surface (11) of the rotor, the linkage being connected to the vane member by an articulation having an articulation axis (30) such that a plane containing the articulation axis (30) and the axis of the external surface (11) passes through the region of sealing contact.
Abstract:
A gear is provided with smaller teeth, transition teeth and larger teeth. The end surface of the larger teeth is made in the shape of the eagle mouth and its flank profile curve is designed to connect the lines of the back of the teeth, teeth crest, side recess and gullet smoothly. Two ends of the larger teeth are connected to the smaller teeth through the transition teeth. The novel features of the invention reside in that the gears can be made in such a way that the leakage is reduced to thereby balance the inertia force of the rotors and eliminate the vibration and noise. In addition, the invention discloses a fluid machine being suitable for transmitting and compressing and expanding liquid or gas, which includes a housing with a cylinder block and two end covers, a pair of gears with at least one driving rotor and one driven rotor in the housing, thereby reduce the leakage between the rotors and increase ratio of the pressure and avoid the process of the overcompression and the under-compression according to the invention.
Abstract:
The invention provides an apparatus (20) for providing forced aspiration to an internai combustion engine (2). The apparatus comprises a first displacement device (24) for being driven by exhaust gas from an internai combustion engine to which the apparatus is in use mounted and, a second displacement device (22) operable to compress combustion gas for provision to an engine to which the apparatus is in use mounted. The first and second displacement devices are coupled such that when in use the first displacement device (24) is driven and causes the second displacement device (22) to operate.
Abstract:
A rotary vane motor uses a gear train arrangement for controlling the position of the vanes as well as the compression ratio of the motor. The motor includes a first pair of vanes namely a leading and trailing vane defining a working chamber therebetween and an opposed second pair of vanes namely a leading and trailing vane defining therebetween a second working chamber. Preferably the motor uses a pair of second order elliptical gears for controlling movement of the vanes to define an intake stage, a compression stage, an expansion stage, and an exhaust stage. In a preferred structure of the motor both the intake port and the exhaust port are movable to change or alter the intake stage and the exhaust stage respectively.
