Abstract
There is provided an internal combustion engine (10) having a housing (11,12,13) and a rotor arrangement (21,22,34) which is mounted for oscillating rotary movement within the housing. The housing provides at least one compression chamber (14) and at least one associated compression chamber (30) and the rotor provides piston means (23, 36) for each chamber. The rotor also has internal passage means for effecting selective communication between the compression and combustion chambers.
Claims22
