INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE WITH ORBITAL PISTON

The reason I invented this engine is to be different from other engines especially rotaries where they have the rotor solid on a shaft. This one is floating on the shaft.
One would ask, how can it turn the shaft if it floats? When mounted off center it floats from the crank. When it turns it has the same principle as a connecting rod with no rod and no seals on the piston crown. It rolls around the cylinder wall with little friction. As it turns, it elongates the pressure area and you have three times the cubic inch as a piston engine and with 90 degree more turning torque. It would be more fuel-efficient than existing engines. Light in weight, easy to manufacture and single design, the piston is cooled with outside air. There are no special seals or rings and needs very little lubrication that can be put in the fuel or oil injection. It fires on every second revolution. The compressor pumps on each revolution so that the compressor can be regulated to the desired ratio and can easily be adapted to diesel fuel. I know of no other engine with so many advantages.

As a unit consistent of two units; one for combustion, one for compression mounted on one shaft turning in the same direction and fires on every second revolution while turning around the cylinder wall. The principles are the same as any recipitating engine but there is no connecting rod, the piston is mounted to the shaft with a roller bearing mounted off center on the main shaft. As the piston turns it puts a pressure on the bearing that turns the shaft that has a special key that compensates the pressure on the cylinder wall. Air that feeds the compressor is taken through the end plate and piston for cooling.

A housing "A", represents the orbital engine. Within the housing comprises a cylindrical wall "B". Air starts the compressor, "R", shown in figure three which is located outside the housing and feeds into a rotating valve "W" then into combustion chamber "J". At the base of housing "A" is a base oil pan "N". Within the combustion chamber "J" is a gate valve "I" having at one end a wrist pin, "P". A spark plug "M" fits into cylinder head "H" and locates itself within the combustion chamber "J". Head bolts "Q" are located on either side of the combustion chamber "J" and extend through said cylinder head "H" and into housing "A". The cylinder piston "C" surrounds the bearing "D". The cylinder piston CA 02538241 2006-02-23 ~a e o~ n ~ L/.
"C" is connected to the shaft "F". The cooling ports "0" surround the inner wall of the piston and the outer wall of the bearing. The intake port "K" feeds into the combustion chamber and the exhaust port "L" extends through the inner wall of housing "A"
and the outer wall of said housing.

When ignited, pressure opens valve "I" as the piston "C" turns on the bearing "D", combustion pressure puts force on piston "C" that puts force on the bearing "D" that turns the shaft "F" as the piston "C" turns it elongates the compression area "J" 270 degrees to the exhaust port "L". The next revolution the gate valve "I" stays closed to recharge for the next revolution.
