Rotary Internal Combustion Engine with Incremental Compression, Isolated Dual Flow Path, and Phase-Controlled Power Transfer.

Abstract

The invention is a rotary rotor-shaft operating with a rotating rotor as the sole main power transmission element within a shell housing. It is related to internal combustion engines. It involves the fluid flow between the rotor shaft and housing during a process of minimal compression. Separate, at least two active gas paths and series compression with successively decreasing volumes along the same rotor shaft. Regions are created. The selective switching arrangement, synchronous with the rotor position, directs the working gas to the respective active path sequentially. It directs traffic between zones and limits inter-path short circuits. Final compression and pressure initiation. This region joins the power / expansion chute when the controlled power switch is activated; the resulting effective gas volume enters the rotor. It grows with its movement, and the pressurized gas acts on the power surface, producing torque on the same rotor-shaft. The motor, by choice In the applications used, separated micro gas jet control and scavenging paths, moving and receding Retractable pressure-balanced end element, two-piece sleeve body, transfer bearing, gas path separated. It may include at least one of the following: lubrication / cooling and axial positioning fail-safe devices.
