Method of manufacturing a rotary engine casing
A rotary engine casing having at least one end wall of an internal cavity for a rotor including a seal-engaging plate sealingly engaging the peripheral wall to partially seal the internal cavity and a member mounted adjacent the seal-engaging plate outside of the internal cavity. The member and seal-engaging plate having abutting mating surfaces which cooperate to define between them at least one fluid cavity communicating with a source of liquid coolant. When the casing includes a plurality of rotor housings, the end wall may be between rotor housings. A method of manufacturing a rotary engine casing is also discussed.

ROTARY PISTON ENGINE
A rotary piston engine comprises a housing (1) spatially limiting a working chamber (2), an intake connection (4) for guiding gas into the working chamber (2), a pressure connection (6) for guiding the gas out of the working chamber (2), and a rotor assembly (4) having a first rotor (14) rotatably arranged in a first working sub-chamber (12) and a second rotor (21) cooperating with the first rotor (14) and rotatably arranged in a second working sub-chamber (13). The rotary piston engine also comprises a ventilation channel (8), formed in the housing (1) and connected to the working chamber (2) via a ventilation channel opening (9), for the temporally limited introducing of air into the working chamber (2), wherein the ventilation channel opening (9) is open at least in sections, in particular completely open, in a compression phase.
Compound cycle engine
A compound cycle engine having a rotary internal combustion engine, a first turbine, and a second turbine is discussed. The exhaust port of the internal combustion engine is in fluid communication with the flowpath of the first turbine upstream of its rotor. The rotors of the first turbine and of each rotary unit drive a common load. The inlet of the second turbine is in fluid communication with the flowpath of the first turbine downstream of its rotor. The first turbine is configured as a velocity turbine and the first turbine has a pressure ratio smaller than that of the second turbine. A method of compounding a rotary engine is also discussed.
ROTARY ENGINE, PARTS THEREOF, AND METHODS
A rotary engine, parts thereof, and methods associated therewith is provided. The engine is modular and adjustable to accommodate a variety of requirements and preferences. The system includes a combustion assembly having a housing and a power rotor positioned therein. The power rotor rotates in a first direction from the beginning of each combustion process through the end of each exhaust process. The system also includes a compression assembly linked to the combustion assembly such that the compression rotor rotates in the first direction from the beginning of each intake process through the end of each compression process. A tank assembly in fluid communication with the compression assembly and the combustion assembly provides stability to the system while eliminating or otherwise reducing transitional loses.
Rotary Roller Motor (RRM)
The Rotary Roller Motor (RRM) is a four cycle rotary internal combustion engine that uniquely overcomes many of the drawbacks of other rotary type engines, by having the Rotor roll around the inside of the engine block, rather than scraping it. This is accomplished with a two part rotor. The inner part of the rotor is composed of a Rotor Shaft (RS-12) with an Offset Circular Lobe (OCL-11) rigidly attached to it. The Outer Rotor (OR-9) fits symmetrically around the Offset Circular Lobe, with Inter Rotor Bearings (IRB-10) between the two to allow free movement. The four cycles are separated by two barriers; the Compression/Power Barrier (CPB-13), and the Exhaust/Intake Barrier (EIB-6). Compression is controlled by two non-reversing barriers, the Non-reversing Compression Barrier (NCB-3) and the Compression Hold Barrier (CHB-14), on either side of the Combustion Chamber (CC-2).

Rotary engine and power output method
A rotary engine is provided, comprising a stator and a rotor rotatably connected thereto. A stator holder with an annular recessed variable track guide groove is on each end of the stator. A sidewall, close to the rotor, of the stator is provided with an arc-shaped combustible gas groove, a combustible gas inlet, a ring-shape groove, a combustion chamber, a decompression device and an exhaust gas outlet. A compression-resistant element is provided in the ring-shape groove. The rotor is provided with a combustible gas piston chamber having a combustible gas piston, a slider slot having slider, and gas exchange channels. The sliders on the same generating line on the rotor and the combustible gas piston are connected fixedly to the same sliding rod in a sliding rod groove, and the two ends of the sliding rod extend into the annular recessed variable track guide groove of the corresponding stator holder.
