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.

A rotary engine includes a rotor coupled to a shaft, the rotor having a first side wall, a second opposing side wall, and a rim extending between the first side wall and the second side wall. A piston extends from the rim of the rotor. A pressure chamber is defined by a face of the piston, the interior surface of a housing, and the rim of the rotor. An inlet directs fluid through the housing and into the pressure chamber. A backpressure flap is pivotably attached to the interior surface of the housing. An outlet directs fluid from the pressure chamber to the exterior of the housing. An effluent flap is pivotably attached to the interior surface of the housing. The inlet and outlets are closed when their respective flaps sealingly engage an interior surface of the housing.

A circle-ellipse engine includes a stationary circular outer housing having a fixed elliptical inner cam surface, and a separate internal round rotor partitioned into equal segments that are populated by identical movable radial vanes. During rotation, the end of the vanes are positioned a precise, constant distance from the elliptical inner cam surface of the housing. During rotation, a variable height cavity is created representing the difference between the major and minor axes of the elliptical inner cam surface and the rotor face. During each rotation, aspirated air is continuously drawn into combustion chambers, compressed, mixed with fuel, ignited, and exhaust gas products are expelled.
