  • Rotary steam engine
    Patent number: 7836697
    Abstract: A circular, reversible steam powered engine configured to force pistons mounted in circular housing assembly and coupled to a main shaft to create a work load. The steam powered engine is arranged to pipe steam of a high pressure into steam chambers to force pistons forward and push exhaust steam of a low pressure out of steam chambers. Gears rotate and engage with pistons to start and stop steam flow into timing valves and steam flow portions. The engine creates a torque required to effectively operate many types of loads, such as those for vehicle and equipment applications.
