Two-cycle rotary-reciprocal-engine

A two-cycle reciprocal, rotary, internal combustion engine comprising:

• a. central supply core defining a central engine axis;
• b. a plurality of piston cylinders mounted symmetrically spaced around said central engine axis, each cylinder having an axis parallel to said central axis, said piston cylinders forming a unit rotatable around said supply core on said central axis;
• c. a plurality of pistons, two pistons being slidably mounted in each of said piston cylinders, each pair of pistons having first ends oppositely facing defining a compression chamber within each of said cylinders and second ends with a flat incline contact face;
• d. two drive plates mounted at an inclination with respect to said supply core, said drive plates being tilted toward each other in equilateral trapezoidal fashion wherein said combustion engine is generally cylindrical in configuration with an elongated side and a short side, said flat contact end faces of said pistons interfacing said inclined drive plates, and being slidably engageable therewith wherein said drive plates are spaced from said piston cylinders and said pistons have a portion thereof at said second ends projecting from said cylinders to said drive plates;
• e. sealing means between said drive plates and said piston cylinders forming a substantially sealed annular passage around which said projecting portions of said pistons traverse during rotation of said piston cylinders, said sealing means and said projecting portions of said pistons defining a plurality of variable volume induction chambers between said projecting portions of adjacent pistons for compressing and transporting gases' said sealing means including gas intake means to said induction chambers on said elongated side of said engine and gas exhaust means from said induction chambers at said short side of said engine;
• f. two cycle intake and exhaust means cooperatively arranged with said cylinders for admitting and exhausting gases of said compression chambers;
• and
• g. ignition means cooperatively arranged with said cylinders for igniting gases in said cylinders.

• a. a central supply core defining a central engine axis;
• b. a plurality of piston cylinders mounted symmetrically around said central engine axis, each cylinder having an axis parallel to said central axis, said piston cylinders being rotatable as a unit around said supply core on said central axis;
• c. a plurality of pistons, two pistons being slidably mounted in each of said piston cylinders, each pair of pistons having first ends oppositely facing defining a chamber within each of said cylinders and second ends with a contact face;
• d. two drive plates mounted at an inclination with respect to said supply core, said drive plates being tilted toward each other in equilateral trapezoidal fashion, said contact end faces of said pistons interfacing said inclined drive plates, and being slidably engageable therewith;
• e. two cycle intake and exhaust means cooperatively arranged with said cylinders for admitting and exhausting gases;
• and,
• f. ignition means cooperatively arranged with said cylinders for igniting gases in said cylinders;
• said ignition means including a pre-combustion crossover passage said combustion crossover passage being in sequential temporary communication between one chamber in one first cylinder in which gases have been ignited and a second chamber in a next adjacent second cylinder to said first cylinder, said combustion crossover passage being oriented to communicate between said adjacent cylinders when said first cylinder has pistons being displaced in a power stroke and said second cylinder has pistons at substantially maximum proximity in a compression stroke, wherein a continuous sequential ignition by ignited gases through said crossover passage is maintained.
