  • Patent number: 4779579
    Abstract: A bank of piston and cylinder assemblies is formed in a cylinder block and is mounted for rotation within bearings. The piston rods are operatively connected to the pistons and bearing supports on an angled plate journalled for rotation at one end of the block and shafts extend axially from the block and the plate and are connected together by a universal joint for rotation as a unit. A centrally located fuel/air chamber is formed axially through the block and fuel/air compression and vaporizing fans rotate with the chamber as the block rotates and feeds fuel/air mixtures through inlet ports to the cylinders successively as the pistons uncover the inlet ports. An exhaust ring surrounds the block and is adjustable radially and exhaust ports from the cylinders coincide with an exhaust outlet in the ring also successively. The engine operates on the two stroke principle, each cylinder firing every 360.degree. of rotation but splash lubrication is provided thus eliminating fuel/oil mixture.
