A supercharged internal combustion engine, characterized in that it is constituted by a cylinder (1) comprised by two identical portions, assembled together, symmetrical with respect to an axis perpendicular to its longitudinal axis, and traversed along this longitudinal axis by an engine shaft (3). Two reciprocating rotating pistons (4) are guided in the cylinder (1) and on the engine shaft (3), and driving the latter in rotation. Two explosion chambers (5) are located each at an end of the cylinder (1), on its periphery, in each of which moves a reciprocating piston (6), and into which empties a carburation injector. A turbocompressor (8) driven mechanically by the engine shaft, has air outlets (9) which are connected to the inlet tubing (10) of each portion of the cylinder (1), and two valve controlled escape orifices (11) are connected each to a tubular outlet (12).
A supercharged internal combustion engine comprising a cylinder formed of two identical portions assembled together symmetrically about an axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of said cylinder portions, an engine shaft extending along said axis, two reciprocating rotating pistons in the cylinder on the engine shaft and slidably but non-rotatably mounted on the engine shaft, an explosion chamber disposed at each end of the cylinder and communicating with the cylinder, carburetor means for injecting a combustible mixture into each explosion chamber, a turbo-compressor driven by the engine shaft and having air outlets connected to air inlets at each end of the cylinder, and means responsive to explosions in the explosion chamber to rotate the pistons in said cylinder thereby to rotate said engine shaft.
