A compression and expansion machine is disclosed that includes a body with at least one chamber about an axis of symmetry, and pistons rotating about the axis of symmetry and dividing the chamber into cells rotating with the pistons. The invention also includes a device for coordinating the movement of the pistons and configured so that, during one rotation cycle, each of the cells performs at least one first expansion/contraction cycle corresponding to a stage of compressing a first stream of gas passing through this cell and at least one second expansion/contraction cycle corresponding to a stage of expanding a second stream of gas passing through this cell.

One example of a gerotor pump includes an inner rotor comprising multiple teeth, the inner rotor configured to rotate about a first longitudinal gerotor pump axis. The gerotor pump also includes a hollow outer rotor including an outer surface and an inner surface having substantially identical contours, the inner surface configured to engage with the multiple teeth and to rotate about a second longitudinal gerotor pump axis. The pump includes a pump housing within which the inner rotor and the outer rotor are disposed, wherein the outer surface of the outer rotor defines gaps between the pump housing and the outer rotor.

An internal combustion engine utilizes the four-cycle process. Gas working chambers are formed using portions of a toroid, two opposing pistons, and seals at the inner gap. A cycle occur over 360 degrees of the toroid with gas ports appropriately placed. One Power Vane (PV) and one Reaction Vane (RV) connect to a central shaft with one piston assembly attached to each end of each vane. The PV produces driving torque on a central shaft through an Overrunning Clutch System (OCS). At specific angles and for controlled durations the PV and RV are slowed, stopped, held to the housing, and then accelerated and coupled to the shaft. Vane movement is controlled by gears, cam ramps, and pin mechanisms operated via multiple, independent but time-coordinated systems. The power vane has no controlled acceleration as combustion forces couple this vane to the shaft via the OCS.

A variable capacity scroll compressor includes a fixed scroll. The fixed scroll of the compressor includes a bypass flow path configured to connect a suction unit to a compression unit, a cylinder space provided on the bypass flow path, and an on/off valve disposed to be movable back and forth in the cylinder space to open/close the bypass flow path according to a difference between a discharge pressure of the discharge unit and a suction pressure of the suction unit. Thus a capacity of the compressor may be reduced by connecting the suction unit to the compression unit under a low load condition in which a difference between a discharge pressure and a suction pressure is relatively less.

An internal combustion engine, includes a 1st rotor having two blades, rotating in the circular volume of the motor body block with variable angular speed; a 2nd rotor having two blades, rotating in the circular volume of the motor body block with variable angular speed, a rolling bearing provided between the 1st rotor and the 2nd rotor enables rotation of the 1st rotor and the 2nd rotor on each other; a 1st unidirectional rolling bearing between the 1st rotor and the back cover enables rotation of the 1st rotor and the 2nd rotor at different times and at different extents; a 3rd unidirectional rolling bearing transferring the 2nd rotor's rotation movements to the output shaft is provided on the internal collar of the 2nd rotor; a 4th unidirectional rolling bearing transferring the 1st rotor's rotation movements to the output shaft is provided on the internal collar of the 1st rotor.

The present invention discloses a biaxial supporting device for a rotary opposed piston engine, comprising a cylinder body, a fixing component, a thick axle and a thin axle; the interior of the cylinder body has a cavity; the fixing component is fixed on the outer side wall of the cylinder body; the thick axle is provided with a through hole coaxial with the first axle hole, and is rotatably connected with the through hole; the thin axle is in transition fit with the through hole of the thick axle, and is rotatably connected with the fixing component. The present invention has simple structure, can effectively reduce a diameter difference of two axles to ensure the relatively small diameter of the thick axle and the relatively high strength of the thin axle, and can effectively realize biaxial support of the rotary opposed piston engine.

A magnetically engaged pump includes a pump housing with a rotatable magnetic drive assembly, a cylindrical canister and a rotatable driven magnet assembly. This magnetic coupling is associated with a pump rotor and a laterally positioned gear wheel to define a gear pump. This magnetic coupling is alternatively associated with a pump rotor with an impeller to define a centrifugal pump. Either pump includes a stationary shaft to mount the driven magnet assembly and pump rotor. A rotatable carrier with bushings and thrust bushings coaxially supports the rotatable driven magnet assembly and pump rotor.
