The present invention relates to a centrifugal suction-type hybrid vane fluid machine and, more particularly, to a centrifugal suction-type hybrid vane fluid machine wherein a cam ring, which rotates inside a compressor, has a plurality of final intake openings formed through the same from the inner peripheral edge to the outer peripheral edge thereof, thereby facilitating inflow of a fluid during rotation; an oil passage is formed therein so as to seal inner constituent elements and to apply a backpressure of vanes, thereby preventing leakage of the fluid and reducing friction; the same number of initial fluid discharge openings are formed as that of the vane or fluid chambers, thereby improving the efficiency of the compressor; and the cam ring is installed eccentrically so as to increase the rotational contact force, thereby improving the efficiency of the compressor while having all advantages of conventional compressors.

A rotary internal combustion engine includes outer and inner housings defining an enclosure therebetween, and first and second side housings disposed on opposite sides of the outer housing. The inner housing is rotatable relative to the outer housing and at least two barriers divide the enclosure into a combustion chamber and an exhaust chamber. At least one barrier is rotatable relative to at least one other barrier and at least one barrier comprises a retractable barrier mounted along a pivot axis and is pivotable between an extended position and a retracted position. An intake port, exhaust port, and ignition source are also provided. The rotary internal combustion engine further includes a cylindrical stationary shaft disposed inside the inner housing and oriented substantially coaxially with the inner housing. The stationary shaft has an intake opening configured to be intermittently fluidly connected with the intake port.

Engines and methods execute a high efficiency hybrid cycle, which is implemented in a volume within an engine. The cycle includes isochoric heat addition and over-expansion of the volume within the engine, wherein the volume is reduced in a compression portion of the cycle from a first quantity to a second quantity, the volume is held substantially constant at the second quantity during a heat addition portion of the cycle, and the volume is increased in an expansion portion of the cycle to a third quantity, the third quantity being larger than the first quantity.

A compressor includes a housing, and a drive assembly, a compression assembly and an expansion assembly which are provided in the housing; the compression assembly is connected to and driven by the drive assembly, and is configured to perform multi-stage compression on a refrigerant under drive of the drive assembly; the expansion assembly is connected to the drive assembly and is configured to expand the refrigerant compressed by the compression assembly. A refrigeration cycle device includes the above-mentioned compressor.

A device usable as an impeller has a plurality of vanes rotating eccentrically about a shaft. Eccentric rotation is enabled by a cam mounted on the shaft. The vanes are received within slots in a rotor which surrounds the shaft and rotates about an axis coaxial with the shaft. The rotor rotates within a housing having a cylindrical surface facing the rotor. The surface is eccentric to the shaft. The vanes execute reciprocal motion upon rotation of the rotor. The vane motion is constrained so that the edges of the vanes remain proximate to the cylindrical surface during rotation.

An engine housing has the shape of a regular dodecagonal, and includes a piston of the same shape that moves with a circular pivot movement about the axis of a main shaft. The piston is guided in parallel by three crankshafts synchronously rotating about this center of rotation. Through this pivot movement, the piston in six combustion chambers each consecutively brings about the four cycles of a spark ignition or diesel engine. The three crankshafts are in permanent engagement through gears which are attached in a fixed manner with a sun wheel, which is seated on a main shaft in a fixed manner, driving it.

A concentric rotary fluid machine includes a first body and a second body that are rotatable relative to each other and coaxially arranged one inside the other. A plurality of gates are supported by the second body in gate pockets. Each gate pocket includes: a gate retention recess that receives a gate cylinder of a gate; a gate seal recess that receives a sealing portion of a gate; and an intervening land. The sealing portion is configured to reciprocate up and down within a corresponding gate seal recess while maintaining contact with the recess and the second body. A plurality of lobes on the first body cause the gates to swing about respective swing axes as the first body rotates relative to the second body. The lobes and the lands are configured so that a lobe forms a substantial seal against a land when in mutual radial alignment.
