Claims8
An engine comprising an engine block, a power cylinder mounted for revolving within said block;
- a non-rotating piston mounted within said power cylinder for reciprocating therein;
- means for precluding rotation of said piston, a cam cylinder located between said power cylinder and said block, said power cylinder and said cam cylinder each having an infinite loop groove formed in its interior wall;
- drive pin means extending between said piston and said power cylinder for moving in and tracking the path of the infinite loop groove in said power cylinder so that said power cylinder is caused to revolve in said block when said piston reciprocates within said power cylinder;
- and valve means for said engine including slot ports formed in the walls of said power and cam cylinders that align in timed sequence with passageways in said block for forming intake and exhaust ports, said engine further including bearing means mounted between said cam cylinder and said engine block.
