Abstract:
PCT No. PCT/AU95/00815 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 24, 1996 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 24, 1996 PCT Filed Dec. 4, 1995 PCT Pub. No. WO96/17162 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 6, 1996A rotary internal combustion engine of the type having pistons mounted for reciprocatory movement in respective cylinders which are arranged in equally-spaced relationship around a longitudinal axis of rotation, said axis being the axis of rotation of an output shaft passing rotatably and sealably through apertures of respective first and second end plates of a housing within which the pistons and cylinders move as part of a rotatable rotor assembly secured to said output shaft, while the pistons are simultaneously movable reciprocably in the cylinders, cam follower means being associated with each piston and adapted to coact with undulating cam track means around the housing. Cyclical combustion of fuel in the cylinders imparts reciprocation to the pistons with resultant thrust against the cam track means so as to cause rotation of the rotor assembly and output shaft. The pistons include two sets thereof each having at least two pistons, the pistons of each set being at opposite sides of the axis of rotation of the rotor assembly and output shaft and are interconnected by piston-connection means to that the pistons of each set move in unison, the parts being so made and arranged that the piston cam follower means coact with the cam track means in a manner ensuring that movement of either set of pistons in their cylinders is in the direction opposite to the direction of movement of the other set of pistons.
