Abstract
General Wheel Rotation Power Motor (GWRPM) systems, apparatus, devices and methods of using a pressure generation, storage and control element; a pressure conversion to rotational force unit with reverse and neutral capability and components to transfer said rotational force to a power accumulator/multiplier whereby useful rotational force can be applied to varied applications. Pressure can be generated from an internal combustion engine (ICE), a pressurized air source, and the like.

A general wheel rotation power motor for an external combustion engine system comprising:
- a dual firing chamber including an air intake for solely allowing fresh air into the dual firing chambers, a fuel storage supply having dual fuel injection connections for metering fuel into each chamber of the dual firing chamber and a dual igniter to alternately ignite the metered fuel inside of each of the dual firing chambers;
- a pressure storage chamber to store pressure generated in the dual firing chamber;
- an oscillating cylinder containing a double acting piston being driven by the generated pressure in the pressure storage chamber;
- and
- a rotatable crank driven by the double acting piston for rotating a geared crank power wheel;
- and
- a geared power accumulator rim rotated by the geared crank power wheel.
A method of converting pressure to rotational force with an external combustion engine comprising the steps of:
- solely inputting fresh air into a dual firing chamber;
- metering fuel from a fuel storage supply alternately into each chamber of the dual firing chamber;
- alternating ignition of the fuel inside of each chamber of the dual firing chamber;
- releasing the pressure generated in the dual firing chamber into a pressure storage chamber;
- regulating release of the stored pressure into an insulated manifold of an oscillating cylinder to achieve a desired torque;
- driving a double acting piston with the regulated pressure;
- rotating a geared crank power wheel by the driving double acting piston;
- and
- transferring the rotational force from the geared crank power wheel to a geared power accumulator rim.
A method for wheel rotation power for an external combustion engine system comprising:
- allowing fresh ambient air into a dual firing chamber via an air intake;
- metering fuel from a fuel storage supply into each chamber of the dual firing chamber;
- alternately igniting the metered fuel inside of each of the dual firing chambers;
- storing pressure generated in the dual firing chamber in a pressure storage chamber;
- driving a double action piston of an oscillating cylinder by the generated pressure in the pressure storage chamber;
- and
- driving a rotatable crank with the double acting piston for rotating a geared crank power wheel;
- and
- rotating a geared power accumulator rim rotated by the geared crank power wheel.
