Abstract
Disclosed is a rotary engine comprising a rotor, a plurality of pistons angularly mounted in the rotor, an actuator mounted for eccentric rotation relative to the axis of rotation of the rotor, a blower, a transverse actuator pin connecting each piston to the actuator, and a plurality of fixed pins connecting the rotor to the actuator. The fixed pins are mounted on the rotor, pass through clearance holes in a rotor disc which acts as a blower, and carry extension gears which mate with internal gears mounted in the actuator. Accordingly, rotation of the rotor causes rotation of the blower and of the actuator.
Claims8
A rotary engine comprising:
- (a) a rotor mounted for rotation about a first axis;
- (b) a plurality of pistons angularly mounted in said rotor;
- (c) an actuator mounted for rotation about a second axis which is parallel to but eccentrically spaced from the first axis;
- (d) a blower mounted for rotation about the first axis;
- (e) a transverse actuator pin connecting each piston to said actuator;
- and
- (f) a plurality of transverse fixed pins
- (i) mounted on said rotor,
- (ii) passing through clearance holes in said blower, and
- (iii) having extension gears at the ends thereof which mate with internal gears mounted in said actuator,
- whereby rotation of said rotor causes rotation of said blower and of said actuator.
