Disclosed is a single-stroke internal combustion engine including a cylinder seat and a power wheel. The cylinder seat has a circular cylinder, at least one first explosion chamber disposed on a cylinder wall, and an ignition system, a fuel supply system, a compression means, an exhaust means and an intake means installed at the external periphery of the cylinder seat corresponsive to each respective first explosion chamber and communicating with the cylinder. Each ignition system is corresponsive to the first explosion chamber; the power wheel is slidably coupled to the circular cylinder of the cylinder seat, and has at least one compression chamber and a second explosion chamber disposed adjacent to each other and rotably corresponsive to the first explosion chamber, fuel supply system, compression means, exhaust means and intake means of the cylinder seat. After the power wheel is turned on, air enters into the intake means and fuel gas is supplied from the fuel supply means, and both air and fuel gas are compressed in the compression chamber by the compression means and collected into the first explosion chamber and the second explosion chamber and ignited by the ignition system for explosion, and the explosion produced by the compressed fuel gas has a high explosive yield to drive the power wheel to rotate by the second explosion chamber, so that the power wheel is rotated constantly in a single direction to provide high-efficiency kinetic energy.

A rotary internal combustion engine with a housing having a fluid passage defined therethrough opening into a portion of its inner surface engaging each peripheral or apex seal of the rotor. An injector has an inlet for fluid communication with a pressurized lubricant source and a selectively openable and closable outlet in fluid communication with the fluid passage for delivering the pressurized lubricant to each seal through the fluid passage. A housing for a Wankel engine and a method of lubricating peripheral seals of a rotor in an internal combustion engine are also discussed.

A rotary engine includes a housing having a working cavity, a shaft, the shaft having an eccentric portion, a rotor having a first axial face, and a second axial face opposite the first axial face, the rotor disposed on the eccentric portion and within the working cavity, the rotor comprising a first cam on the first axial face, the first came having an eccentricity corresponding to the eccentricity of the eccentric portion of the shaft, and a cover integral with, or fixedly attached to, the housing, the cover comprising a plurality or rollers, each roller engaged with the cam, wherein the cam guides the rotation of the rotor as the rotor rotates within the working cavity and orbits around the shaft.

The present invention provides a rotary engine comprising: a housing provided with three lobe accommodation parts; a rotor which is provided with two lobes continuously accommodated in the lobe accommodation parts, has an intake storage part communicating with an intake port provided on the front surface-side, and has an exhaust storage part communicating with an exhaust port provided on the rear surface-side; an intake-side housing cover provided with an intake hole communicating with the intake storage part; an exhaust-side housing cover provided with an exhaust hole communicating with the exhaust storage part; and a crankshaft, wherein the flow of an exhaust gas into a stroke chamber during an intake stroke is reduced by preventing the exhaust storage part, at a portion of a section in which the exhaust port is open, from communicating with the exhaust hole during the intake stroke.

There is provided a combustion engine and an electric generator. The combustion engine comprises an engine housing, a cylindrical member configured to rotate about an axis within a cavity of the engine housing, a piston, and an engagement section for engaging the piston. The piston is mounted to the engine housing and the engagement section is mounted to the cylindrical member, or the piston is mounted to the cylindrical member and the engagement section is mounted to the engine housing, such that the piston and the engagement section periodically rotate past one another as the cylindrical member is rotated within the engine housing. The piston engages the engagement section as they rotate past one another, the engagement forcing the piston to compress gases in a combustion chamber, which fire to drive the rotation of the cylindrical member. The electric generator may be driven by the combustion engine.
