Abstract
Rotary internal combustion engine of axial sliding vane type has sinusoidal shaped side walls with compensation of the mass forces allowing nearly friction-free and high speed operation with sufficient compression ratio. High power output is believed to make the invention comparable to the well-known Wankel engine. The various designs of the rotary machines can also be used as fluid pumps or fluid-operated motors.
