TEL:07 SS912878 TEL:07 5S12B79ALCOHLICS ANONYMOUS P0 P. 02 Rotary type engine using a Reciprocating type engine block.

For decades people have beeni designing engines that not only go faster but to be more fuel ufficienlt as well as cecaner exhaust emissions, this invention has these capabilities.

This invention makes it possible to use one set of parts to create, a rotary turbine enginte regardless of the amnount pistons, by the means of changing the design of some parts in a reciprocating typ engine block, This conversion is ptissiblo by chanrging the crank to a series of cogs that are set on a shaft and is bolted with its big ends up to engine block, which has a splash feed system as part of the main drive shaft. T[hen die head Fig 1 is bolted on to thc block, and the rotary pistons are placed in through an extenided bore and is slotted down into the crank Searing cogs and is kept flush with the top of the head, With the exception of a piston stablising ****bearing which is protruding. Then the head gasket is placed on the head with the piston stablising bearing protruding through head gasket to slot into the head plate. To set the piston, the piston rotor wedge is placed mid way of the spark plug, and then the stabilising bearing on the top of thc piston is placed on.

All that is left is the rotor button to be placed into the distributor, an example of rotor button.

The compression is determined by the pipc size, the tuning of the exhaust system and the distance of the catalytic converter fromn the exhaust manifold.

This was never possible before while still using the original reciprocating engine block. Or an ungine block similar to the rciprocating engine block *0 can be designed for this invention, using this same concept. This creates tr-emendous; horsepower with a lot cleaner exhaust emissions.

24/04 '03 THU 11:39 [TX/RX NO 9270] TEL:07 SS912078 ALCOHLICS ANONYMOUS P. 04 3 To assist with understanding of this invention, references will now be made to the accompanying of drawings.

Referring to FIG. 1&2 the head can be made as one single unit or has these separate components, this component unit has countersunk bolts on it, s top, to torque down the head base to the engine block l.1 a. It also has prethreaded holes for top plate to be bolted down upon. 1.lb.

The head base has piston size cylinder 1.I c which can be teflon coated the same as the piston to decrease the friction and heat and are sleeved the same size as the bore, so the length of the block piston chamber (bore) is increased. See Fig 3.

This is so the piston can be extended out of engine block and into the head in order to support the piston rotor.

The inlet ports and exhaust ports are molded as part of the head unit to allow the inlet and exhaust manifolds to be bolted up to. 1. Id. The head can have water cooling channels through out to prevent overheating for water cooled engines, or for other styled engines can either remain solid or have air cooling fins. The head unit has the spark plugs mounting sockets mid-way between the inlet and exhaust to give it, s ignition-firing abilities.

If. The exhaust slipstream is shaped in the head as part of the piston sleeve (exhaust side) just past the spark plug. This provides tremendous access for exhaust fumes to escape. 1 1 g.See igl &2.

An exhaust catalytic converter and/or tuning the exhaust mani old will provide sufficient backpressure in combustion chamber. The catalytic converter's distance from the block by increasing or decreasing its distance with/or the tightness of manifold will determine what compression ratio to use in comparison with either keeping engine standard or using such things as supercharges or turbo. 1. lh Figl Fig3.

Head plate gasket 1.2a is a metal gasket that has bolt holes 1.2d and optional holes that allows water access for a water cooling system into the top plate. Or has bolt holes only for the non-water cooling systems. See Fig. 1 24/04 '03 THU 11:39 [TX/RX NO 9270] TEL:07 55912878 ALCOHLICS ANONYMOUS P. 4 It also will have spark plug access holes 1.2b as well as a hole for the stabilising bearing 1.2c. It covers the bore so as to act as a seal to hold the fuel and combustion gases in piston chamber. The head plate is either solid form or can have optional water-cooling channels within, but which also include the spark plug access holes. 1 .f See Fig 1&2 The head plate has bolt holes in the top to torque this unit down to head base. 1.3a Figl.

The head plate has piston stabilising bearing socketsl .3b.Se The crankshaft is a shaft with a series of gears. 4.1 a Fig 7.

The harmonic balancer and timing gears can be used. The crankshaft has a series of counter weights 4.1b that are either attached or are molded as part of the shaft itself This acts as the oil system (as a splash feed) for the crankshaft as it has a very shallow oil pan; this is all that is required to S prevent crank system from drying out. 4.1d Fig 3.

The crankshaft is then bolted up original styled big ends using shells or a roller bearing styled.4.1c Fig 7.

For the piston, a three-race wedge shaped rotor, designed so that it acts as it, s own valve system, See diagram 3.1a.Fig.4&5 The setting for the piston in the bore is so that the back edge of the piston has just closed at the inlet port and is ready to receive spark, all the pistons need to be set in this same manner, and remain in sequence. So as it passes the fuel intake (1.1 d) it cuts itself off from the fuel intake, then rotates to receive an ignition spark f) from the spark plug. Due to the wedge shape piston Fig.6 it forces itself to propel around. The exhaust fumes then are guided out into exhaust manifold via slipstream (l.lg) that's been molded as part of the bore. Then the piston is then empty ready to pick up again from the inlet port, while being propelled by the other 2 o. wedges in the same manner, to complete 1 full revolution, this then provides a direct high-powered rotary turbine motor.

The piston is Teflon coated for friction and heat resistance to enable the use of various types of fuel such as unleaded.3.lb Fig The con-rod stem is can be molded as part of the piston or be as separate units. See Diagram 3.lc Fig The base of the con-rod stem is shaped to allow for a connecting cog, which inter-relates to crankshaft. See Diagram 3. Id Fig 4 At the top of the piston there is a lug for a bearing that stabilises the piston from leaning that sits in the head plate. See diagram 3.1e Fig 24/04 '03 THU 11:39 [TX/RX NO 9270] TEL:07 5S912678 ALCOHLICS ANONYMOUS P. 06 There are many ways that this ignition system can work. With today's technology such as completely computorised systems, as well as electronic systems these are all possible, with the results in order for this invention to work, has to be in the manner that all spark plugs ignite at the same time, threc times, to complete one full revolution. I have provided one example using the rotor button from the distributor system of a V8.

Fig 6 For the distributor style ignition, the original drive train is suflicient; the camshaft lobes have no real use so their condition doesn't inatter, the rotor button needs only to be changed. It works with the amount of pistons with the ignition points. EG: eight ignition points on the rotor button for eight cylinders or six ignition points for six cylinders etc.Fig.7. This is designed to prixluve a spark to all pistons at the same time. See lDiagiurn 4.1 a 0% 24/04 '03 THU 11:39 [TX/RX NO 9270]
