Patent
·
OSTI ID:6349630
An internal combustion engine comprising: a stationary housing having a housing interface surface with a housing opening extending from the housing interface surface; a rotor having a rotor interface surface, the rotor being mounted for rotation in the housing with the rotor interface surface being juxtaposed to the housing interface surface, the rotor having a rotor slot therein extending from the rotor interface surface, the rotor slot having a leading edge on the side thereof in the direction of rotation, the rotor slot moving past the housing opening during rotation of the rotor; a piston slideably mounted in the housing opening; a vane slideably mounted in the housing opening and displaced from the piston in a direction opposite to the direction of rotation; means for independently moving the vane and piston into the rotor slot, as the rotor slot moves adjacent to the housing opening; and means for providing a combustible fuel into a region within the housing opening between the piston and the leading edge, the fuel undergoing combustion after the vane is moved into the slot for moving the leading edge.
