Abstract
An efficient and powerful engine is obtained by incorporating within an engine housing at least one cylinder which is rotatable along the inner circumferential surface of the housing. The cylinder is mounted to a crank case. A piston rod extends from the piston and is moveable longitudinally within the cylinder. The piston rod in turn is connected to a crankshaft. Thus, when the engine is powered, both the cylinder and the crankshaft can rotate, either in the same direction or in opposite directions. An exhaust opening is provided at a location substantially at the top portion of the cylinder. A corresponding exhaust port is provided in the housing, so that when the cylinder is rotated to the particular location along the housing, its exhaust opening comes into alignment with the exhaust port of the housing so that the exhaust gases resulting from the combustion in the cylinder are evacuated directly outside of the housing. A gear mechanism converts the rotational movement of either the cylinder, the crankshaft, or a combination of both, to drive the vehicle, or power generating device, to which the engine is adapted.
