Abstract
A rotary engine comprising an engine block that is movable in rotation about an axle, said engine block including at least one blind cylinder mounted on a casing. Said blind cylinders are closed by respective movable pistons defining sealed chambers of variable volume inside the cylinders. Each piston is connected to a crank mechanism secured to the stub axle of the engine block. The variable-volume sealed chamber of each piston contains a fluid suitable for expanding under the effect of a rise in temperature, the engine further including heater means for raising the temperature of the fluid present in said chamber.
