Abstract
Highly efficient pressure differential rotary engines can include rotatable cylinders arranged radially around a central stationary shaft. Each of the cylinders can house one or more pistons, and the cylinders and pistons can rotate together about the central stationary shaft. Pressure differentials within the cylinders can be used to power the rotation of the cylinders about the central stationary shaft.
Claims13
A pressure differential engine comprising:
- a cylinder rotatable about a central stationary shaft;
- a piston positioned to reciprocate within the cylinder;
- a rod coupled to the piston that extends through an end portion of the cylinder;
- a first cam engaged with the rod so that reciprocation of the piston within the cylinder causes rotation of the first cam;
- a second cam engaged with the rod so that reciprocation of the piston within the cylinder causes rotation of second cam;
- a first chain that rotationally locks the first cam to the second cam;
- and
- a second chain that rotationally locks the first cam and the second cam to the central stationary shaft.

A method of operating a pressure differential engine, comprising:
- reciprocating a piston within a cylinder;
- rotating a first cam by engaging a rod coupled to the piston with the first cam while the piston reciprocates;
- rotating a second cam by engaging the rod with the second cam while the piston reciprocates;
- rotationally locking the first cam to the second cam with a first chain;
- and
- rotating the cylinder about a central stationary shaft by rotationally locking the first cam and the second cam to the central stationary shaft with a second chain.
