  • Expansion rotary engine
    Patent number: 5901554
    Abstract: The present invention introduces two revolutionary concepts (a caterpillar and a squeeze engine) for rotary engines with features highly desirable for space applications, e.g., very high torque, light weight, low power AC or DC input, and smooth stroke over indefinite rotation. Through these unique advantages, the proposed concepts meet an existing demand in the space industry to which, so far, only very high cost and complex solutions have been developed. Although both concepts exploit the same physical phenomenon (the significant 15% volume change related to the paraffin solid-liquid phase change), their similarity stops here. They represent fundamentally different design philosophies and offer different performance characteristics. Preliminary calculations show that the caterpillar engine with no friction-prone slip contacts shall output an approximate 150 lbf--in torque for a 2 inch diameter and 0.5 inch deep cylindrical configuration while consuming approximately 20 W direct current.
