Abstract
A rotary engine has a spherical enclosure serving as a combustion chamber, a first baffle inside the combustion chamber slideable along a groove formed in the spherical enclosure, and a second baffle disposed in the combustion chamber which is in sealing engagement with the internal spherical surface of the combustion chamber. The second baffle is carried by a rotatable shaft, the shaft extending into the spherical combustion chamber. The first baffle rests against the second baffle, and separates the interior of the combustion chamber into a first part and a second part. A first valve in a first opening is disposed to communicate with the first part of the combustion chamber, and a second valve in a second opening is disposed to communicate with the second part of the combustion chamber.
Claims9
A rotary engine, comprising:
- a spherical combustion chamber having an internal groove;
- a rotor extending into the spherical combustion chamber;
- a first baffle having a ridge in engagement with the internal groove;
- and
- a second baffle supported by the rotor;
- wherein the second baffle has a circular face and a longitudinal groove therein, and the first baffle has one edge in engagement with the longitudinal groove in the second baffle, whereby the first baffle prevents rotation of the second baffle about an axis of the rotor.
A rotary engine, comprising:
- a spherical combustion chamber;
- a rotor extending into the combustion chamber;
- a first baffle;
- a second baffle;
- guiding means for guiding the first baffle in an oscillatory motion with the combustion chamber;
- connecting means for connecting the second baffle to the rotor such that rotation of the rotor causes oscillatory movement of the second baffle;
- wherein the second baffle has a circular face and a longitudinal groove therein, and the first baffle has one edge in engagement with the longitudinal groove in the second baffle, whereby the first baffle prevents rotation of the second baffle about an axis of the rotor.
