Engines are provided that can include: a stator in operational relationship to a rotor; a reciprocating vane assembly operationally engaged with the rotor; and a track member about the rotor and engaging the reciprocating vane assembly. Processes for powering a prime mover are also provided, the processes can include engaging vanes between a fixed member and rotating member to create compression and expansion zones, the engaging comprising guiding the vanes from a track member about the rotating member.

Compressor and a refrigeration cycle device, relating to the field of refrigeration technology. The 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 compressor.

A pistonless combustion flywheel engine includes two subsystems that work together to permit a rotary flywheel-disk to produce the conventional 4 strokes of a combustion engine within a single rotation of the flywheel-disk. The engine includes a flywheel-disk having a mass and is configured to deliver rotational inertia and torque. A primary subsystem comprises the flywheel-disk and an outer housing block configured to generate a combustion cycle. A second subsystem is located within the housing block and is configured to generate an intake cycle, a compression cycle, and an exhaust cycle. These cycles being performed externally to the flywheel-disk. Use of the primary subsystem and the second subsystem allows for the combustion cycle to occur on every revolution of the flywheel-disk.

An engine includes a housing defining an annular bore and a piston assembly disposed within the annular bore. The engine includes at least one valve configured to oscillate between a first position within the annular bore to allow the piston assembly to travel from a first location proximate to the at least one valve to a second location distal to the at least one valve and a second position to define a combustion chamber relative to the piston assembly at the second location. The engine includes an exhaust gas port disposed in fluid communication with the combustion chamber and a fuel distribution assembly configured to mix fuel from a fuel source and air from an air source into a fuel and air mixture at a location external to the combustion chamber and to deliver the fuel and air mixture to the combustion chamber.

Engine for producing mechanical energy by internal combustion of a fuel includes a shaft and a crank arm attached to the shaft. The engine further includes a casing, where the interior of the casing forms a hollow cavity dimensioned to allow the crank arm to rotate within the hollow cavity and the crank arm is capable of making a seal with the interior surface of the casing to block fluid passage. The interior of the casing also includes a bypass area that allows fluid passage around the crank arm. A first valve is positioned adjacent to the bypass area and a second valve is positioned adjacent to the bypass area opposite from the first valve. The first valve and the second valve are configured to block fluid passage when closed.
