Rotary internal combustion engine
This patent describes a rotary internal combustion engine. It includes an axle mounted to rotate in the center of the housing, a first toroidal casing having a first circular chamber disposed within the housing, the first toroidal casing containing a first rotor rotatably disposed therein, the first rotor being fixed mounted to the axle, a first piston connected to the first rotor and slidably engaged within the first circular chamber for slidably moving along the first circular chamber and including a plurality of oil conduits, a second toroidal casing having a second circular chamber disposed in parallel with the first toroidal casing within the housing, the second toroidal casing containing a second rotor rotatably disposed therein, the second rotor being fixedly mounted to the axle, a second piston connected to the second rotor and slidably engaged within the second circular chamber for slidably moving along the second circular chamber and including a plurality of oil conduits, a first valve member and a second valve member disposed within the first and second toroidal casings, respectively, the first and second valve members including first and second valve doors with a pair of gas-exhausting apertures which are adapted to open or close so as to permit or prevent the piston from passing, respectively, a first valve plate fixedly mounted to the axle and disposed in parallel with the first toroidal casing within the housing, the first valve plate having a peripheral edge portion and an extended edge portion for operatively guiding the rotation of a first valve roller therealong, the first valve roller being connected to the first valve doors through a first connecting member.
