A variable volume chamber device is disclosed. The chambers may be defined by the space between four pivotally connected vanes contained within two side plates. The vanes may be connected so as to create a sealed interior chamber that may be used as a combustion chamber in an internal combustion engine, or as a pumping chamber in a pump or compressor. The four vane assembly may also form additional variable volume chambers between the vanes and a surrounding structure. The plurality of variable volume chambers may be interconnected to progressively act on a working fluid.

A compression device is equipped with a compressor (102) and a heat energy recovery unit (200) that recovers heat energy from a compressed gas. The heat energy recovery unit (200) is equipped with: a heat exchanger (202) that has an inflow port (202a), and that heats an operating medium by means of the heat from the compressed gas; an expansion device (210); a power recovery unit (212); a condenser (214); and a pump (222). The heat exchanger (202) is arranged closer to the compressor (102) than the expansion device (210), and is oriented such that the inflow port (202a) faces the compressor (102).

An internal combustion engine including an igniter disposed at least partially within an aperture defined in a housing of the engine, the igniter having a body including a tip supporting portion and having a tip extending from the tip supporting portion. A cooling sleeve is disposed around the tip supporting portion, and the cooling sleeve defines a path of heat transfer between the tip supporting portion and the housing.

A hydraulic machine comprising a rotary toroidal piston chamber with two or more stationary pistons, which are provided to operate in such chamber, and having input and output ports for each piston provides a bidirectional motor or pump operable with high constant torque and high efficiency. Radially movable gates provide closed sections of the piston chamber and open to allow continuous rotation in one direction without reciprocating pistons or cranking mechanism. Rotation of the chamber is achieved by reaction to the force of hydraulic pressure on the pistons. A rotary piston chamber with four stationary pistons, operating as a four piston hydraulic motor simultaneously driving itself as a two piston pump functions as a pressure multiplier providing output pressure higher than the input pressure. Uses include sump pump, pumped energy storage and hydroelectric power generation.
