Abstract
An internal combustion engine includes a unitary housing, having a first cylindrical housing medially and orthogonally intersecting a second cylindrical housing, with the first cylindrical housing including a first gear ring rotatably mounted therewithin, with the second cylindrical housing having a second gear ring mounted therewith, wherein the first gear ring is arranged for simultaneous rotation in communication relative to one another, with the first gear ring having a plurality of spaced piston plates, with the second gear ring including a plurality of spaced chamber plates, wherein the piston plate and the chamber plate are arranged for simultaneous positioning within an associated combustion chamber to effect projection of the piston plate upon combustion within the combustion chamber.
Claims3
A continuously rotating engine apparatus, comprising,
- a housing, the housing having a first cylindrical housing and a second cylindrical housing, the first cylindrical housing and the second cylindrical housing medially and orthogonally intersecting one another, and
- the first housing having a first housing periphery, the second housing having a second housing periphery, with the first housing periphery and the second housing periphery intersecting at a first intersection and at a second intersection, with a first combustion chamber mounted to the first intersection, and the first combustion chamber including at least one spark plug, and
- the first cylindrical housing including a first gear ring rotatably mounted within the first cylindrical housing, the second cylindrical housing having a second gear ring rotatably mounted within the second cylindrical housing, and
- a first coupling gear in geared communication with the first gear ring, and
- a second coupling gear in geared communication with the second gear ring, and
- a shaft securing the first coupling gear to the second coupling gear to effect simultaneous rotation of the first gear ring by the second gear ring, with the first gear ring including at least one piston plate sector mounted thereon, and the second gear ring including at least one chamber plate sector mounted thereon, and
- the combustion chamber having a combustion chamber slot to receive the piston plate sector therethrough, and the combustion chamber having a front wall and side walls, with the chamber plate sector arranged for sealing of a rear wall portion of the combustion chamber subsequent to positioning of the piston plate sector within the slot.
