Abstract

A rotary internal combustion engine has a double pivot center and allows for efficient communication between a central cylindrical intake/compression chamber and a crescent-shaped expansion chamber. Power packs rotating about the upper pivot location receive compressed gases from the compression chamber located within a flywheel which is positioned to rotate about the lower pivot location. Intake gases are ultimately compressed within the power packs before being ignited and causing a delayed powering of the power packs through the expansion chamber. Intermeshing of the power packs with the flywheel allows for the conversion of the power of the expanding gases acting on the power pack into rotation of the flywheel to power a drive shaft intimately mounted to the flywheel. Further optional treatment of the combusted gases provides more power to the drive shaft and such treatment may include, for example, fuel injection, water injection, further sparking, clean air injection and high compression turbine operation. The engine provides for rotary motion of all moving parts and the engine power packs use every stroke of the four stroke internal combustion engine during each revolution of the flywheel.
