Abstract: A pump having a stroke ring which has an axial recess, a rotor which is received in the axial recess so as to be rotatable relative to the stroke ring, wherein the rotor has radial recesses in which delivery elements are displaceable received as viewed in a radial direction, a side plate which closes off the axial recess on a first side, a pressure plate which closes off the axial recess on a second side, wherein the pressure plate has at least one opening, wherein a pressure region of the pump is fluidically connected to external surroundings of the pressure plate through the at least one opening, and wherein at least one fluid path is provided from the pressure region of the pup into an under-vane region of the delivery elements, and a cold-start plate which is preloaded against the pressure plate by means of a spring element such that, at least when the pump is at a stand-still, the cold-start plate closes the at least one opening in the pressure plate to the external surroundings of the pressure plate.

Abstract: A rotor type pump is provided. A rotor rotates and closely contacts an inner surface of a chamber, and a cam controls a sealing part, so that during a compression procedure, the sealing part, a convex surface of the rotor, and an inner surface of the chamber form a substantially hermetic space, and when a gas in the chamber is compressed to a set pressure, the compressed gas is guided out. Therefore, a smooth surface of the rotor closely contacts the inner surface of the chamber, and the gas in the chamber is compressed in a rotational manner, in which the to-and-fro movement of a piston is not required, and a dead point is prevented, so that operation is smooth and noise is not easily generated. Further, the rotor type pump does not need to use a lubricating fluid and offers extremely large compression capacity and excellent efficiency.

Abstract: A fluid rotary machine (10) includes an inner housing (12) provided with a manifold (68) for directing working fluid through the machine (10) and an outer housing (14) coupled to the inner housing (12) so that the outer housing (14) can rotate relative to the inner housing (12). A plurality of swinging gates (16) are supported along one longitudinal edge in corresponding sockets (38) formed along the inner circumferential surface (32) of outer housing (14). A plurality of elongated lobes (30) are supported on and evenly spaced about the inner housing (12). There is one intake port (24) and one exhaust port (26) between adjacent lobes (30). The gates (16) are biased so as to ordinarily seal against the inner housing (12). High pressure fluid enters through the inlet port (24) to a region between a lobe (30) and gate (16) causing the outer housing (14) to rotate. Eventually the gate (16) wipes across an exhaust port (26) venting the high pressure fluid through the exhaust port.

Abstract: A motor for converting fluid pressure to rotational motivation, and pump for moving fluid, is provided. The motor/pump includes a drum provided within a cylindrical cavity defined by a housing. Vane assemblies are provided which extend through the inner drum, and are actuated to extend and retract through their operable coupling to a cam provided within the inner drum. As the inner drum rotates, the vanes extend and retract, alternately increasing and decreasing their drag coefficient, causing pressurized fluid admitted into the interior to drive the vanes and inner drum in a single direction. Alternatively, a power source may be coupled to the motor to drive the motor, thereby causing it to act as a pump for moving fluid from one location to another.

Abstract: A plurality of rotary assemblies driven by gas pressure having internal cam activated retractable gates selectively coupled to a rotary compressor. The rotary compressor is selectively coupled through a clutch to a shaft. The shaft is rotated by the plurality of rotor engine assemblies that are driven by gas pressure. A gate is coupled to a cam follower bearing that rides on an internal surface of the rotor housing, causing the gates to form chambers within the rotor as well as move out of position to pass a chamber divider. The shaft may be coupled to a load to do work.

Abstract: A rotary engine (10) is provided having a housing (11), a rotor (34) mounted within the housing, an intake manifold 21, an exhaust manifold (33) and a reciprocating combustion containment valve (42). The rotor has a base (35) and a shoulder (36) extending from the base. A fuel injector (23), air injector (25) and spark plug (27) are all coupled to the intake manifold. The rotor is coupled to a cam (40) having a cam follower (43) thereon coupled to the combustion containment valve, whereby the movement of the combustion containment valve is synchronized with the movement of the rotor shoulder.

Abstract: A rotary internal combustion engine is disclosed herein and includes two confronting but spaced apart side casings which comprise part of the overall engine housing and a rotor located between the side casings, mounted around a rotatable shaft and extending between the casings. The engine disclosed herein has a number of improved features including improved sealing vanes which cooperate with the rotor and side casings to define various function chambers in the engine. The engine also includes more efficient combustion chambers including improved check valve mechanisms for introducing fuel into the combustion chambers. The engine also provides greater power generation due to an improved angle of combustion onto the lobes of the rotor.
