  • Internal combustion engine with fluid drive output
    Patent number: 4966000
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine is provided wherein paired free pistons are driven within opposed piston chambers of a cylinder to drive a fluid which, in turn, is introduced to the fluid drive chambers of a vane-type rotor assembly. The rotor assembly includes a hub containing an array of vanes which wipe across a rotor housing internal profile. The structuring of the rotor is such that the engine components may be formed in modular fashion and coupled in tandem for a combined serial drive output.
