This invention describes a mechanism containing two coaxial rotators, embedded on a driveshaft, (1a, 1b) that spin alternately with two velocities. Each rotator has at least two vanes (2) and during the rotators' spin chambers of variable capacities form between the vanes. When the vanes touch together the velocities of the rotators change (2). Rotation speed changes from V1 to V2 and vice-versa are enabled by gearshifts consisting of two-speed ratchets (3) interlocked with rotators' shafts (1a, 1b) that transmit force from and to steering ratchets (4). At a constant velocity of the steering ratchet (4) after its every 180° rotation the angular velocity of the two-speed ratchet (3) and rotator change. The correct functioning of the whole mechanism is provided by engagement of the steering ratchet, transporting force from and to the two-speed ratchet (3), with the coaxial steering ratchet (4) transporting force from the rotator (1b).

A tangential force internal combustion engine invention utilizes the four cycle internal combustion engine process. Working gas chambers are formed via a torroid in the housing and two adjacent piston assemblies. Pistons, ring seals, and inner seal plate elements seal this chamber. The four gas cycles are spaced over the 360 degree torroid chamber with gas ports appropriately placed. One power vane (PV) and one reaction vane (RV) connect to a central shaft with pistons attached to each vane end. The PV produces driving torque on a central shaft through an Overrunning Clutch System (OCS). At specific angles and for controlled durations the PV and VN are slowed, stopped, held to the housing, and then accelerated and coupled to the shaft. Vane movement is controlled by gears, cam ramps, and pin mechanisms operating via three independent but time-coordinated systems. The power vane has no controlled acceleration; combustion pressure serves to immediately couple this vane to the shaft via the OCS. This immediateness and direct-coupling are thought to provide efficiency. 1. an internal combustion engine is which relies on two types of vanes , each of which has cyclic movement incorporating holds such that four Otto cycles can occur within a moving chamber formed by the ends of two adjacent pistons at the vane ends and located in a torroid chamber enclosed via multiple seals.2. a method of moving an engine vane directly with a shaft by locking an overrunning clutch roller element via ramps that push a pin through a hole in said vane thus inserting a finger end into the clearance side of the roller element cavity.3. a vane slot , gears , pin assemblies , and ramps such that a pin is pushed across a timing gear and into a vane slot via a fixed ramped cam in the housing thus initiating or halting movement of said vane upon 90 degrees of timing gear rotation.4. a method of holding vanes to the housing via a circumferential end face ramp in a timing gear such that a pin is ...

Rotary Roller Motor

Номер: US20210340902A1
Принадлежит: Individual

The Rotary Roller Motor (RRM) is a four cycle rotary internal combustion engine that uniquely overcomes many of the drawbacks of other rotary type engines, by having the Rotor ‘roll’ around the inside of the engine block, rather than scraping it. This is accomplished with a two part rotor. The inner part of the rotor is composed of a Rotor Shaft (RS-12) with an Offset Circular Lobe (OCL-11) rigidly attached to it. The Outer Rotor (OR-9) fits symmetrically around the Offset Circular Lobe, with Inter Rotor Bearings (IRB-10) between the two to allow free movement. The four cycles are separated by two barriers; the Compression/Power Barrier (CPB-13), and the Exhaust/Intake Barrier (EIB-6). Compression is controlled by two non-reversing barriers, the Non-reversing Compression Barrier (NCB-3) and the Compression Hold Barrier (CHB-14), on either side of the Combustion Chamber (CC-2).
