Abstract
A rotational combustion engine that generates force from the reciprocal motion and centripetal motion of one or more pistons that is then converted into rotational motion of a first cam and second cam wherein the cams are separated by a 2-3 degree horizontal offset and an angle of 60 degrees as well as camshaft assembly and driving shaft to provide power to an entity such as an automobile.
Claims18
A machine comprising:
- a first cam arranged at an angle on a vertical plane;
- a connector attached to the first cam wherein the connector is a ball and socket mechanism;
- a second cam attached to the connector arranged at an angle on the vertical plane at a horizontal offset compared to the first cam, the first cam and the second cam configured to rotate in unison;
- one or more cylinders with an intake valve and an exhaust valve, the one or more cylinders attached to the first cam;
- pistons attached to and movable within each cylinder of the one or more cylinders, the pistons configured to move as the first cam and the second cam rotate;
- and
- a driving shaft mounted for rotation about an axis connected to the second cam wherein the driving shaft and the second cam are configured to rotate in unison.

A machine comprising:
- a first cam arranged at an angle on a vertical plane;
- a second cam arranged at an angle on the vertical plane at a horizontal offset compared to the first cam, the first cam and the second cam configured to rotate in unison;
- a middle component with a first intermediate cam and a second intermediate cam and one or more combustion chambers;
- a first set of cylinders, the first set of cylinders connected to the first intermediate cam;
- a second set of cylinders, the second set of cylinders connected the second intermediate cam, the first set of cylinders and the second set of cylinders coaxial to each other;
- a first set of pistons movable within the first set of cylinders;
- and
- a second set of pistons movable within the second set of cylinders;
- the second set of pistons in opposing direction to the first set of pistons, the first set of pistons and the second set of pistons configured to move as the first cam and the second cam rotate;
- wherein a volume enclosed within one of the one or more combustion chambers is between one of the first set of pistons and one of the second set of pistons, the one or more combustion chambers each connected to an intake port and an exhaust port.
7 more elements
A machine comprising:
- a first cam arranged at an angle on a vertical plane;
- a connector attached to the first cam;
- a second cam attached to the connector arranged at an angle on the vertical plane at a horizontal offset compared to the first cam, the first cam and the second cam configured to rotate in unison;
- one or more cylinders, the one or more cylinders attached to the first cam or the second cam wherein the one or more cylinders are positioned between the first cam and the second cam;
- and
- pistons attached to and movable within each cylinder, the pistons configured to move as the first cam and the second cam rotate, wherein the first cam is connected to a first gear mounted to a center of the first cam, the first gear configured to move in unison with the first cam, wherein the first gear connected to a plurality of second gears, the plurality of second gears connected to a plurality of inlet camshafts and a plurality of outlet camshafts configured to control opening and closing of an intake valve and an exhaust valve, wherein the intake valve and the exhaust valve are connected to each of the one or more cylinders.
