A rotary engine has a rotor with a rotor pocket for receiving air-fuel mixture that is combusted therein to propel the rotor within the housing. The rotary engine may have one or more intake spray injectors that spray fuel into the rotor pocket and onto the rotor face within the intake chamber to effectively cool the rotor pocket and rotor face. An air channel extension of the rotor pocket may be configured in the housing and/or in the rotor to extend from the compression chamber into the ignition-combustion chamber to relieve some pressure in the trailing compression chamber of a rotor face to minimize negative work. A supplemental air-fuel conduit may be configured to supply high-pressure gas from the compression chamber to an ignition injector(s). A thrust nozzle may be configured within the rotor pocket to direct combustion gases therethrough to propel the rotor and increase efficiency.

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 internal combustion engine includes a body made of four parts, each of which is an L-shaped fragment, and, when connected, forming two mutually perpendicular ring-shaped walls in plan view with ribs on the outer surface and an annular groove inside, which form two passages, each of which contain a torus-shaped rotor, which can move along the groove. Each torus-shaped rotor has longitudinal notches located outside or inside the rotor forming cavities between the rotor and groove surface, connected to chambers located outside the walls. The intake and exhaust windows are made in the walls communicating with the cavities between the rotor and groove surface. The rotors are interconnected by the kinematic chain of rotation synchronization made of successively engaged gears, one of which is engaged with one torus-shaped rotor, and the last of the gears is engaged with the output shaft, rigidly connected with another torus-shaped rotor.
