  • Patent number: 7032565
    Abstract: A modular revolving cylinder engine including at least two interdependent flywheels driven in rotation by a driving device (1) that rotates them in synchronization and in opposite directions. Each flywheel includes a plurality of equally spaced hollow pushrods that are reciprocally movable along stroke lines that are parallel and offset with respect to the central axis of rotation thereof and through which combustion gases from associated combustion chambers pass outwardly of the flywheels. End portions of the opposing pushrods engage during each rotation of the opposing flywheels during which time the oppositely directed combustion gases passing through the pushrods impinge on the outer end portion of the opposite pushrod to thereby provide thrust to drive the opposing flywheel in rotation in opposite directions.

  • Publication number: 20050247270
    Abstract: The invention concerns a modular revolving cylinder engine consisting of two interdependent flywheels driven in rotation by a slide-free driving device (1) rotating them in synchronization and in opposite directions. Said flywheels comprise on their periphery and offset on a parallel to the diameter units consisting of pushrod supports (5) with chambers (4), sliding hollow pushrods (7 or 7B), compression spring (6). When the two pushrods (7) and (7B) are interlocked, the pre-compressed detonating flux latent in the hollow induction shaft fills the chambers and the pushrods through the corresponding slots (2) and (3). When said slots are no longer corresponding a spark triggers the explosion. The explosion gas deflagrating forcefully through the ducts of the pushrods cause the interlocked pushrods to be spaced apart by a separating thrust, thereby driving the flywheels in rotation. This process repeated on the next interlocked pushrods generates the rotating drive force.
