  • Rotary piston internal combustion engine
    Patent number: 6672274
    Abstract: A rotary internal combustion engine has a housing and a working wheel mounted rotatably in the housing. At least one working piston is provided on the working wheel for taking in and compressing air or a fuel-air mixture and for converting gas pressure resulting from combustion of the fuel-air mixture into mechanical energy. A counter wheel with a working piston recess is provided. A combustion chamber for combusting a fuel-air mixture is formed in operation continuously anew between working piston, working wheel, counter wheel, and housing. First air vanes form spokes of the working wheel and take in the fuel-air mixture or the air through the working wheel for pre-compression of air or of a fuel-air mixture. The wheel is pulley-shaped and has an annular channel extending in a circumferential direction. The working piston is arranged fixedly in the annular channel.
