  • Rotating piston engine with variable effective compression stroke
    Patent number: 6125819
    Abstract: A rotating cylindrical piston engine with a variable effective compression stroke. The present engine shuttles the piston during the power stroke as far as possible in the cylinder to maximize the use of the power provided by the fluid explosion. Since as much as possible of the explosion force is used, i.e., preferably until the exhaust gas reaches ambient temperature or pressure, the exhaust gas is cooler and thus the engine may need no external water cooling, allowing internal air cooling in the cylinder by intake air to be complemented by the cooling with the exhaust gas. Preferably, such linear motion of the shuttling piston over such a great length is converted to rotary motion by forcing the piston to spin in the cylinder as the piston is driven the length of the cylinder.
    Type: Grant
