  • Patent number: 5251594
    Abstract: A nutating internal combustion engine is disclosed including a disc having cone-shaped surfaces and a centrally disposed sphere positioned within a symmetrical, spherical-segment shaped chamber which is adapted to contain the disc and has a central bearing to movably engage the sphere and to allow the disc to nutate within the chamber to turn drive shafts. Preferably, the engine operates on a four cycle principle and combines the intake and compression chambers into a single chamber and the combustion and exhaust chambers into a single chamber to fire every 180 degrees.

  • Patent number: 3989427
    Abstract: A rotary device of the type having an oblong chamber and a rotating rotor therein. Arcuate vanes are slidably mounted in the rotor so as to rotate therewith and concurrently slide relative thereto such that the ends of the vanes constantly engage the walls of the oblong chamber. The chamber walls, viewed axially in cross-section, comprise a pair of straight sides and a pair of curved ends. The curvature of these ends is derived mathematically from a square, the sides of which square form the said straight sides of the chamber walls.
