An internal combustion engine comprising a housing having a peripheral wall with a cylindrical internal surface and side walls defining a chamber, a rotor disposed within said chamber and having a central shaft extending through at least one of the side walls, said rotor having at least one recess in its periphery, at least one pivotally mounted piston disposed in each of said recesses and having a pivotal end and a movable end defining collapsible chambers above and below the piston, a cam track carried on the inside of at least one of the side walls and followers operably interconnecting the cam track and the movable end of the said piston, the improvement which includes an ambient air intake port opening into the peripheral wall of the housing, an exhaust port disposed in the peripheral wall of the housing, at least one combustion chamber disposed in the peripheral wall of the housing, a fuel injector in communication with the combustion chamber and compressed air transfer duets valves and passageways disposed at least in part exteriorly of the engine side walls, establishing fluid communicating between the chamber below the piston and the chamber above the piston.
A method of operating an internal combustion engine having a piston movable up and down and having compression chambers above and below the piston, comprising the steps of:
A method of operating a rotary internal combustion engine having at least one orbital and pivotally movable piston and at least one compression chamber in juxtaposition to the piston and a combustion chamber separate from the compression chamber, comprising the steps of;
A method of operating a rotary internal combustion engine having at least one orbital and pivotally movable piston and at least one compression chamber in juxtaposition to the piston and a combustion chamber separate from the compression chamber, comprising the steps of;
A method of operating an internal combustion engine having at least one movable piston and having a first compression chamber below the piston and a second compression chamber above the piston and a combustion chamber separable from the second compression chamber, comprising the steps of:
