Abstract

Steam motor, rotary and double acting, characterized by being composed of a rotor ellipsoidal contour that is housed inside a cylindrical enclosing housing, inside whose cylindrical cavity can rotate the rotor freely to be small gaps between their faces flat surfaces and the flat surfaces that constitute the bottoms of said cavity, as well as between the cylindrical inner surface and the greater diameter of the rotor, in whose housing are located in diametrically opposite positions two chocks which, by effect of an appropriate mechanism, move automatically so that its front edge is located with very small clearance on the elliptical side surface of the rotor, dividing the two spaces formed between the rotor side surface and the inside of the housing in two chambers of variable volume when rotating the rotor, the two chambers whose volume gradually reduces when rotating the rotor, in direct communication with the steam outlet for its conduction to the condenser and, the two remaining chambers, whose volume increases gradually as the rotor rotates, in communication with the steam inlet during a certain angle of rotation through an inner conduit of said rotor and channels arches located on the flat surfaces of the interior of the housing.
