The object of the present invention is to provide a fluid rotary machine in which dead spaces can be reduced as much as possible even if the machine is enlarged by arranging rotary valves directly behind cylinder chambers. The fluid rotary machine in which first and second double-headed pistons (7, 8) intersecting within a case body (1, 2) move linearly back and forth within cylinders (16) due to the hypocycloid principle along with rotation of shafts (4a, 4b) and in which intake and exhaust cycles are repeated in chambers (22), wherein cylinder heads (17) for closing the cylinder chambers (22) are each provided with rotary valves (19) which are rotated by drive transmission from the shafts (4a, 4b) and which are provided with intake holes and discharge holes (19b) alternately communicated with the cylinder chambers (22) via communication channels (20a, 20b), and the rotary valves (19) intersect longitudinal axis of the opposing pistons (7, 8) and are capable of rotating parallel with output axil lines.

The oxygen injector provides repeated oxygen injection pulses to complete a charge. The controlled exhaust port includes an oscillating rotatably mounted valve. A source of pressurized concentrated oxygen to the oxygen injector is in a closed case having a ceramic fiber membrane. An air inlet and a waste outlet are in communication with a first side of the ceramic fiber membrane. An oxygen outlet is in communication with a second side of the ceramic fiber Ionic transport membrane.

A radial crank external heated engine having multiple alignments of pistons radial to multiple collinear rotary valves, multiple crankshafts connected to alignments of pistons, and a common output shaft connected to the crankshafts. A heat conductive working fluid is cycled to the engine from a heat producing external energy source via a slotted channelled tube extended centrally through the rotary valves. The rotary valves have intake and exhaust sections that communicate with the channelled tube and provide means working fluid exchange with respective pistons at timed intervals. The pistons are reciprocally driven by the entry of pressurized work fluid in the cylinder, and the resulting motive power is transferred along the crankshafts to the output shaft where it can be harnessed.

The modular complex for production of effective power through combustion of liquid and gaseous fuels comprises two modules: Module for production of heat in a single combustion chamber for burning various liquid and gaseous fuel types, connected to the inlet of gas turbocharger for production of energy carrier (compressed air) with flow rate and pressure required for production of planned power and frequency of rotation; Module for transformation of carrier energy into effective power with mechanical system of variable volumes and distribution system for charging and discharging of air, comprising distribution plate with straight shaft with slots to connect compressed air from cylinder filling channels through the motion of crankgear pistons from top to bottom dead center and the channels for discharging of cylinders through the motion of pistons from bottom to top dead center, whereas low pressure and temperature values eliminate the necessity for cooling system, fuel injection system, gas distribution system and starters. The final result represents increment of effective efficiency of modular complex to over 60 percent, elimination of complicated systems, reduction of fuel consumption, materials and labor costs as well as toxic oxides and noise levels.

A rotary valve internal combustion engine has a piston connected to a crankshaft and reciprocatable in a cylinder, a combustion chamber being defined in part by the piston. The engine has a rotary valve rotatable in a valve housing fixed relative to the cylinder, the rotary valve having a valve body containing a volume defining, in part, the combustion chamber and further having a wall part thereof a port giving, during rotation of the valve, fluid communication successively to and from the combustion chamber via inlet and exhaust ports in the valve housing, wherein the rotary valve is rotatable about an axis parallel to the axis of rotation of the crankshaft, the valve being mounted in a bearing arrangement which restrains the valve from movement in the axial direction but permits movement in the radial direction.
