Abstract

An engine comprises two rotary pistons the spacing between which varies during operation, one piston being fixed to a shaft, the other piston being connected to the shaft via cam means. Inlet and outlet ports communicating with the cylinder in which the pistons rotate are opened and closed by the pistons and ignition of the charge in the cylinder is arranged to occur at the moment of full compression, the combustion gases then escaping from the cylinder through the outlet port into a second cylinder to drive a turbine or spiral screw located therein and attached to the shaft to cause rotation thereof. <IMAGE>

Description

1 TRANSPORT CLAIMS Induction and compression by means of a rotating combusting chamber and two rotating pistons, and two or more ports exhaust and inlet.
The pistons are housed in a round upper cylinder, and are in tandam, they are wedge shaped. The first being fixed to a main shaft that runs through the centre of the upper cylinder.
The second piston is attached to the same shaft by a big end journel and worked by a cam.
The main shaft starts to rotate by means of a starting motor.
It takes the first piston around exposing the inlet port and starts to draw in the gas air mixture (petrol or diesel) thus induction starts.
There is a lag before the cam starts to move the second pistons As the second piston moves around it covers the inlet port, and by means of the cam compressing the gas on the back of the first piston.
At the precise movement of full compression ignition at the same time the first piston exposes.

Claims (6)

1 TRANSPORT CLAIMS
The outlet pO(t at the bottom of the upper cylinder. The escaping gases then enter the lower cylinder the second piston closing the outlet port.
The force of the escaping gas will then drive a turbine blade or a spiral screw which is attached to the main shaft that runs through the upper and lower cylinder the force created being enough to drive the main shaft, plus the piston in inlet and outlet ports, thus cycle is repeated, energy created will then drive a gearbox or generator.
TRANSPORT CLAIMS
2 A rotation combustion chamber upper and lower cyclinder, main shaft and ports inlet and outlet as in Claims 1
3 A rotation combuston chamber and cyclinders as in Claims 2, wherein the first piston has moved round causing induction
4 A rotation combustion chamber and cyclinders as in claims 2-3 wherein the second piston has moved round causing compression and ignition
5 A rotation combustion chamber and cyclinders as in Claims 3-4 wherein the first and second piston have moved round to start the second cycle. The exhaust gases start to drive turbine blades or the spiral screw not shown in the lower cyclinder.
6 A rotation combustion chamber and cyclinders with ports inlet and outlet as described herein with reference to Figures 1-4 of the accompanying drawings Amendments to the claims have been filed-as follows An engine comprising of two cylinders top and bottom with a mainshaft running through both cylinders housed in the top are two wedge shaped pistons. The first piston being attached to the shaft the second piston is attached by means of a big end and opperated by a cam allowing the spacing to vary between the first and second piston as the engine starts to rotate the first piston opening the inlet port causing the gas mixture to be drawn into the top cylinder the mixture then being compressed between the first and second piston when the second piston moves around closing the inlet port ignition of the mixture occurring at the moment of full compresion and the outlet port being opened by the first piston to allow the combustion gases to escape from the top cylinder into the bottom cylinder to drive a turbine or spiral screw located therein and attached to the main shaft to cause the shaft to be rotated the second rotation can be used to expell unburned gases.
