Apparatus and method for an articulating inner structure of an engine chamber

A method comprising:

• articulating a structure to a first configuration, said structure comprised of a plurality of plates, said structure having an outside surface and being disposed within a housing, said housing having at least a recessed area within said housing, an inner wall and an input port to said recessed area, said plates being joined to a plurality of connecting rods being movable to form said first configuration, wherein a gas flows from said recessed area to said outside surface;
• articulating said structure to a second configuration, wherein at least a portion of the gas is compressed between said outside surface and said inner wall
• in which said plurality of plates comprises four plates and said plurality of connecting rods comprises four connecting rods;
• in which said articulated structure generally starts as a vertically oriented rectangle configuration and opens to a square configuration, and then to a horizontally oriented rectangle configuration and then reverse back to said square configuration and then back to said vertically oriented rectangle configuration;
• and
• in which said connecting rods are disposed as opposing pairs.

An apparatus comprising:

• a housing comprising at least a recessed area within said housing, an inner wall and an input port to said recessed area;
• at least four plates being disposed within said housing, said plates being configured to form a structure, said structure having an outside surface and an inside surface, said inside surface forming an inner volume, said structure being capable of being articulated between at least a first configuration, and a second and third configuration
• at least four connecting rods being joined to said plates to form said structure and to at least, in part, articulate said structure in which said connecting rods are disposed as opposing pairs, said connecting rods being movable to form said first configuration to enable a gas to flow from said recessed area to said outside surface, said connecting rods being further movable to form said second configuration, wherein, in said second configuration, at least a portion of the gas is compressed between said outside surface and said inner wall;
• wrist pins for joining said plates to said connecting rods;
• a flywheel having an internal eccentric continuous lobe, said internal eccentric continuous lobe being in engagement with at least one of said connecting rods in which an orientation of said first configuration alternates between a generally vertical position and a generally horizontal position;
• rollers joined to said connecting rods for engaging said internal eccentric continuous lobe;
• at least one exhaust port being configured to release at least a portion of the compressed gas outside of said housing;
• and
• at least one spark plug port being configured for receiving an igniter for igniting the compressed gas.
