Abstract: An engine system is provided, including a housing, multiple shafts in alignment and in parallel with each other, vertically penetrating through the housing, multiple wing sections integratively attached around the multiple shafts, respectively, and configured to engage with each adjacent one to drive axial rotation, and multiple ducts attached to the housing and communicating with inside of the housing, each duct being for use for passing an air-fuel mixture or outputting exhaust gases. The air-fuel mixture is collected in at least two open sections associated with the first wing section, and the collected air-fuel mixture is compressed and ignited for combustion when each of the at least two open sections has a minimum volume. Chemical energy generated by the combustion is used to drive the axial rotation of each wing section, thereby individually rotating the multiple shafts to transmit power.
