Abstract
This invention relates to an apparatus for producing a rotary motion force by means of a compressed gas rotary engine, rotary type with pistons in the circular rotor, consisting of a housing, a rotor with cylinder chambers containing pistons that has a rod containing a bearing which rotates against a stationary cam, the rotor is connected to a shaft, and combined with a r rod guiding system This engine may be produced in any suitable size and contain as many pistons as needed. More than one engine may be attached together. The engine has many uses such as to power machinery, automobiles, motorcycles, boats, generators, etc.
Claims18
A compressed gas rotary engine with piston comprising, a housing formed with a peripheral wall which contains a cylindrical inner wall attached to side walls at 90 degrees, inner surface of said housing's peripheral wall being cylindrical, a cylindrical rotor, rotatable mounted in said housing and having a circular peripheral wall, side walls at 90 degrees to said peripheral rotor wall, with one side wall having means to be attached to an engine's shaft which protrude through the center of the said housing side walls and the other said side wall having a central opening, and one or more circular cylinder chambers extending from the said rotor's peripheral wall to the central chamber of said rotor, said rotor having means to seal one said cylinder chamber from the other cylinder chambers and the said central chamber, piston with piston rods for each said chamber, said piston rod contain a bearing, said pistons reciprocally mounted and forming variable volume in said cylinder chamber and has means to seal the cylinder chamber from the central chamber of said rotor, means to guide the reciprocal motion of said piston and means to rotate the rotor, said housing being provided with means admitting a compressed gas by means of a gas valve communicating with said cylinder chambers, means discharging expanded gas communicating with said cylinder chambers, means to guide the said rotor's motions in said housing, said cylinder chambers of varying sizes enabling an expansion of compressed gas to take place and expansion of said chambers due to the pressure of said compressed gas.
A compressed gas rotary engine with pistons in the rotor having a cycle of expansion and exhaustion said engine comprising:
- a) a housing formed with a peripheral wall with side walls, said peripheral inner wall being cylindrical, leaving space in said housing for a rotor to rotate and being provided with means for admitting compressed gas communicating with cylinder chambers in the said rotor, means for discharging expanded gas communicating with said cylinder chambers:
- b) a Rotor with a circular peripheral wall with side walls, central chamber, said cylinder chamber or chambers which are cylindrical and extended from the peripheral wall of the rotor to the rotor's said central chamber, one side wall of said rotor has means to attach to the engine shaft and the other side wall has a centrally located opening into said central chamber, the peripheral wall and side walls of said rotor has seals to seal against the housing peripheral wall and side walls, to seal off the said cylinder chamber from other cylinder chambers and from the said central chamber, said rotor being rotary mounted in said housing and attached to the engine shaft:
- c) piston with a piston rod, mounted in the said cylinder chambers, having rings to seal the said cylinder chamber from the said central chamber and means for the said piston rod to push on the stationary cam to rotate the said rotor;
- d) piston guide plates on the end of the piston rod and guiding notches in the piston wall has means to guide the reciprocal motions of the said piston to prevent rotation of said piston:
- e) cam with stationary attachment to the said housing has means by the circular shape of said cam to guide the reciprocal motions of said piston and varying the volume of the cylinder chamber enabling an expansion stroke of the compressed gas and an exhausting stroke of the expanded gas.
