Rotary vane internal combustion engine comprises of two side-by-side rotors, placed in a cylindrical housing, wherein each rotor has at least two radial vanes rigidly attached to the rotor that form chambers for intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. Each rotor alternately engages with a shaft by overrunning one-way clutches and is held from turning back, through the damper, mounted on a corresponding flywheel and forming a part of the flywheel assembly, which is rigidly attached on the shaft. The assembled rotors from the outside are rigidly closed by flanges on each of which is mounted at least one blade. The blades are positioned into formed cavities between the rotors and caps of the housing, thereby forming two cooling cavities through which coolant circulates around rotors through openings in the housing and through longitudinal grooves in the shaft. On the vanes are mounted cylindrical and conical seals, which remove the need for lubrication.

A scroll device has a fixed scroll, and orbiting scroll, and at least one cooling chamber configured to receive coolant to cool the fixed scroll or the orbiting scroll. A flexible conduit that curves around an orbital axis of the orbiting scroll may transfer coolant into or out of the at least one cooling chamber. The scroll device may have a motor with a motor jacket configured to receive coolant for cooling the motor. One or more involutes of the scroll device may comprise a wall coated or plated with a solid abrasion-resistant lubricant.
