Abstract

An internal combustion engine comprises a toroidal combustion chamber housing (10) within which slides at least one piston (20). The combustion chamber housing has a circumferential longitudinal slot (18) sealed by a ring seal (26) to which the pistons are rigidly attached. A mechanism (44) is provided for reversibly creating one or more transverse seals within the combustion chamber housing. The combustion chamber is operationally divided by the piston into two regions. In each power cycle of the engine, compressed air, fuel and steam are injected into the combustion region and ignited.
