ROTARY ENGINE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; internal combustion engines. SUBSTANCE: engine has cylinder with crank mechanism mechanically coupled with power takeoff shaft. Intake and bypass valves are installed in cylinder head. Through bypass valve cylinder communicates with spherical combustion chamber arranged on stator rim and is connected with stator space through guide nozzle at other side. Engine cylinder, combustion chamber and engine stator are rigidly interconnected. Stator space is made in form of cylinder with two covers. Rotor is installed in stator space on bearings secured in stator covers. Rotor simultaneously plays the part of engine flywheel. Rotor tightly fits to inner surface of stator over perimeter and is provided with several spaces over perimeter into which combustion products are directed through guide nozzle, thus setting rotor into rotary motion. Hole for power takeoff shaft is made in one of covers. EFFECT: improved reliability of operation. 4 cl, 2 dwg
