Abstract
A rotary engine powered by external heat with a gas that is reactive to temperature sealed inside a casing where a portion, of the sealed in gas is heated and expands within a chamber on one side of the engine and is separated by a partition from another portion of the gas which is cooled and contracts within a chamber on the opposite side of the engine as the heated gas pushes the partition which rotates a rotor while simultaneously the cooled gas pulls the partition and every 180° of rotation the heated gas moves over the rotor to the cooling side of the engine while the cooled gas moves under the rotor through a valve to the heating side of the engine.
Claims20
A sealed rotor valve engine comprising a rotor valve offset to one side within a cylinder at close proximity to the surface of said cylinder said rotor valve having recessed notches whereby said notches are removed to a depth from the surface of said rotor valve wherein said rotor valve further comprising corresponding protruding surfaces between said rotor valve notches, an axle base and axle that holds said rotor valve together as a single part, a partition that separates the heated gas from the cooled gas, cylinder lobes that allow said partition to rotate within said cylinder, transfer grooves that transfer gas past said partition, casing end plates that seal said cylinder within a casing that encloses the internal parts of said sealed rotor valve engine.
