The invention relates to the field of
power engineering. The present
internal combustion engine comprises a housing in which a drum and a rotor are rotatably disposed. The rotor comprises a hollow shaft and an
impeller wheel. The axis of rotation of the rotor is upwardly offset from the axis of rotation of the drum, the latter providing for the formation of an annular liquid seal by means of a
working fluid during rotation. The
impeller wheel is configured to be capable of forming alternating
combustion and compression chambers. The hollow shaft has a
stator arranged coaxially therein such that the cavity between the shaft and the
stator can be divided into a fuel mixture supply zone and
coolant supply and
discharge zones. Mounted in the
combustion chambers are spark plugs, each of which comes into contact with a
capsule which is spring-loaded by a high-
voltage contact and is fastened in a vertical upward position to the cylindrical surface of a rod arranged inside the hollow
stator such as to permit regulation of the
ignition timing. The rotor and the stator are configured with channels, baffles, ports and a plate, which provide for the supply and
discharge of
coolant to and from an annular cavity. The technical result is an increase in the efficiency and service life of the engine.
