Groove trap apparatus for combustion and compression machinery

A combustion/compression apparatus comprising:

• a body, said body equipped with a base;
• a groove-shaped combustion area, said groove-shaped combustion area disposed within said base;
• a groove-shaped compression area, said groove-shaped compression area disposed within said base;
• wherein said groove-shaped combustion area and said groove-shaped compression area are disposed inline within and along a circumference of said base;
• a lid portion, said lid portion disposed atop said groove-shaped combustion area and said groove-shaped compression area;
• at least one trap, said at least one trap disposed within said groove-shaped combustion area and said groove-shaped compression area, in communication with said lid portion;
• an ignition device, said ignition device disposed in communication with said lid portion;
• wherein said lid portion is in communication with said body;
• wherein said base is configured to rotate independently of said lid portion upon combustion and compression within said groove-shaped combustion area and said groove-shaped compression area;
• wherein said at least one trap is configured to retract upon movement against a slope of said groove-shaped combustion area and said groove-shaped compression area when driven by combustion or compression;
• wherein said body is cylindrical;
• and
• wherein said base is a rotor.
