Abstract: A rotary engine and a hydraulic motor including non-rotary outer and inner casings; a power shaft with an eccentric part; a driving eccentric ring between the outer and inner casings and mounted on the eccentric part; a combustion or pressure chamber between the eccentric ring and the inner casing such that the eccentric ring drives the power shaft by substantially non-rotating eccentric movement; dividers for dividing the combustion chamber into at least two parts, the dividers extend through the inner casing and are in contact with an inner surface of the driving eccentric ring; and an eccentric device (or control) for driving the dividers back and forth with respect to the inner casing. The eccentricity of the eccentric device corresponds with the eccentricity of the eccentric part of the power shaft. The eccentric device has a guide groove which implements an eccentric path and to which the dividers are connected.

Abstract: A rotary internal combustion engine has a shaft, a compression chamber, an ignition chamber, a center wall, a first rotor, and a second rotor. The shaft is fixed to the rotors while being rotatably mounted to the compression and ignition chambers. The compression chamber has an oval shaped chamber wall and receives fuel and compresses the fuel. The ignition chamber has an oval shaped chamber wall and receives compressed fuel from the compression chamber and combusts the compressed fuel. The center wall is located between the compression chamber and ignition chamber and allows passage of compressed fuel from the compression chamber to the ignition chamber. The first rotor has a circular perimeter surface and is rotatably received within the compression chamber. The second rotor has a circular perimeter surface and is rotatably received within the ignition chamber.

Abstract: A rotary engine includes a stationary engine block and a power shaft mounted along a central axis for rotation with the engine block. An annular working chamber is formed in the engine about the central axis. A working member is connected to the power shaft to travel in a circular path about the central axis through the annular working chamber. The engine block has an elongated passage which extends through or across the annular working chamber in a direction perpendicular to the travel of the working member. An elongated bar is received within the elongated passage for slidable movement therethrough between first and second positions. The elongated bar includes a slot which is aligned with the annular working chamber when the elongated bar is in its first position to allow passage of the working member therethrough. The elongated bar forms a wall across the annular working chamber when the working member is in its second position to divide the annular working chamber into expansion and exhaust chambers.

Abstract: A steam engine of the rotary type including a housing with two annular chambers with each chamber having a piston assembly operable therein. The piston assemblies are carried by a common shaft and displaced 90 degrees apart. Each piston assembly includes two pistons. The pistons have their working end surfaces 180 degrees of rotation apart. The rotor shaft is hollow along a portion of its length. The hollow portion of the shaft delivers fluid under pressure from an external source through channels within the pistons to fluid troughs in the circumferential surfaces of the annular chambers. Additional channels in the annular chambers and housing provide fluid under pressure to actuate shuttle valves at specific rotation locations of the pistons in each chamber. Each chamber includes side wall vents for exhausting spent working fluid. A screen is positioned vertically between the adjacent vents to cause condensate to be directed to a collection sump by gravity.

Abstract: A rotary piston type fluid machine comprises one or more rotary piston type fluid machine units, each comprising a doughnut type ring-shaped cylinder with an annular slit being provided in the wall at the inward periphery lying in a plane containing the annular central line of the cylinder, a rotor rotatively supported by the cylinder with the peripheral portion being shiftably received within the slit, one or more rotary pistons secured to the peripheral surface of the rotor and adapted to be shifted within the cylinder, and one or more gate valves mounted to the cylinder so as to cross the cylinder and adapted to periodically protrude into the cylinder in synchronization with the movement of the rotary pistons. The rotary piston type fluid machine unit can be utilized as a compressor, an internal combustion engine, a pump, etc. by using it singly, or as a number of the units in combination.
