Cam-driven radial rotary engine incorporating an HCCI apparatus

A cam-driven opposed-piston radial engine, comprising:

• a plurality of cylinder sets arranged about a central shaft, each of the plurality of cylinder sets having:
• a first cylinder, having:
• an intake port;
• a second cylinder coaxially aligned with the first cylinder, the
• second cylinder having:
• an exhaust port;
• a first piston engaged within the first cylinder;
• a second piston engaged within the second cylinder;
• a combustion chamber formed between the first piston and the second piston;
• a first cam mechanically engaged with the first piston;
• a second cam mechanically engaged with the second piston;
• wherein the first cam controls displacement of the first piston within the first cylinder and converts reciprocating motion to rotational motion;
• wherein the second cam controls displacement of the second piston within the first cylinder and converts reciprocating motion to rotational motion;
• a cylinder block configured to contain the plurality of cylinder sets;
• a first plate;
• a second plate;
• an ignition source configured to initiate combustion within the combustion chamber;
• wherein the first plate and second plate encompass the cylinder block;
• and
• wherein the first cam and the second cam compress the first piston and the second piston together to compress a fuel air charge within the combustion chamber;
• wherein each of the plurality of cylinder sets further comprises an air pump comprising:
• a third cylinder coaxially aligned with the first cylinder and the second cylinder;
• and
• a third piston contained within the third cylinder;
• wherein the third piston is connected to the second piston;
• wherein the third piston moves in unison with the second piston;
• wherein the air pump flushes residual gasses from the combustion chamber;
• and
• wherein the air pump forces a fuel-air mixture into the combustion chamber.
