Abstract
The rotary engine includes a casing having a spherical cavity, or working sphere, therein and an engine shaft rotatably mounted in the casing. A driven cylindrical member, or drum, having four combustion chambers therein is rotatably mounted within the casing bisecting the spherical cavity, and said driven member is connected to the engine shaft. A hollow driving circular member, or plate, operatively connected to the driven cylindrical member by passing through the center thereof and is mounted within the spherical cavity, or working sphere, of the casing. The intersection of the driven cylindrical member by the driving circular member forms four spherical wedge-shaped variable volumes referred to as "compression-expansion" chambers, within the working sphere. It is the expansion of the ignited gases within the compression-expansion chambers that drives the circular member, or plate, which in turn rotates the driven cylindrical member, or drum, that drives the engine shaft. Within the hollow circular driving member are four variable volume air "intake compartments" supplied with fresh air through rotating valves on stationary air intake tubes. Air in the intake compartment, after …
