Abstract: System for the reversible transformation of a reciprocating motion in a rotary motion, which may include one or more actuating devices adapted to cooperate with a rotor which has a spiral shaped section, and has at least one interaction surface for interacting with said one or more actuating devices. Each actuating device of said plurality of actuating devices is an internal combustion cylinder and piston device. Each actuating device is associated with a rod which incorporates a slider with a follower which engages with said at least one interaction surface of said rotor.
Abstract: The present invention provides a system for the reversible transformation of a reciprocating motion in a rotary motion, which comprises one or more actuating devices (11) adapted to cooperate on at least one interaction surface of a spiral profiled rotor (3), the system it is characterized in that each actuating device of said plurality of actuating devices (11) comprises hydraulic or internal combustion cylinders; the arrangement being such that each actuating device (11) urges a tubular slidable rod coupled to a respective cylinder, said tubular rod being associated with a slider (5), the slider (5) being adapted to transmit the thrust of said tubular rod (6) on said at least one interaction surface of the spiral profiled rotor (3) creating a torque on said rotor (3).
