The present invention relates to a rotary engine comprising a stator, a first rotor rotatably mounted on the stator about a rotational axis of the first rotor, and a second rotor rotatably mounted on the stator about a rotational axis of the second rotor parallel to the rotational axis of the first rotor such that the second rotor is eccentrically mounted to and surrounding the first rotor, wherein the first rotor comprises a first cylinder with a piston chamber limited by a translationally displaceable first piston with a first rod fixed to an outer side of the second rotor on an end of the first rod outwardly projecting from the first cylinder towards the outer side of the second rotor and fixed to the first piston on the other end of the first rod, wherein the first rotor further comprises at least one second cylinder, each of the at least one second cylinder comprising a piston chamber limited by a translationally displaceable second piston with a second rod coupled to an outer side of the second rotor on an end of the corresponding second rod outwardly projecting from the respective second cylinder towards the outer side of the second rotor and fixed to the corresponding second piston on the other end of the corresponding second rod, and wherein the end of each second rod coupled to the outer side of the second rotor is supported such that the end is rotationally displaceable along a limited curved guide path within the second rotor.

A closing engine including a framework, fluid drivers, and a flow control device. The framework has an inlet that receives a fluid and an outlet that dispenses the fluid. The fluid drivers are supported by the framework and pump fluid toward the outlet. The flow control device is coupled to the framework and is in fluid communication with the inlet, the outlet, and the fluid drivers. The fluid drivers are cooperatively driven by a motive force from fluid flow through the inlet to dispense fluid via the outlet, and to drive the flow control device to distribute diluent to the diluent drivers in a coordinated manner.

Disclosed is an offset rotational non-reciprocating-piston internal combustion engine in which an outer ring rotates on a one axis and an inner disk rotates on a second offset axis. Pistons are connected to the outer ring, while cylinders and other devices for operating the engine are mounted within an inner disk that rotates on a second axis that is offset from the axis of the outer ring. The inner disk and outer ring rotate together, such that the pistons create conditions of compression and explosive expansion within the cylinders without vibrating reciprocal piston motion. A unique fuel injection system is also disclosed that provides a variable fuel pressure that is created by centrifugal forces on the fuel. Because of the rotating inner disk and outer ring, advantages are taken of centrifugal force and gravity to distribute fuel, air, oil, high-voltage current, and cooling air in the engine.

As disclosed herein, a piston arrangement may include a cylinder, a piston head movable along a piston axis within the cylinder, a con rod, and a track. The con rod has a first end which is coupled to the piston head and a second end which is coupled to the track. The track is adapted to be moved relative to the cylinder and is shaped such that, as the track moves relative to the cylinder, the piston head moves in reciprocating motion along the piston axis in accordance with a path of the track. The path of the track may be shaped such that piston head displacement is non simple harmonic with respect to displacement of the track relative to the cylinder.

A radial piston motor includes a cam body and a working member. The cam body includes circumferentially arranged lobes. Each lobe includes a cam section for guiding a piston radially outwards. Each cam section includes a deceleration phase configured to radially decelerate an engaging piston in the case of constant rotational speed and an acceleration phase configured to radially accelerate an engaging piston in the case of constant rotational speed. The working member is rotatable relative to the cam body and has circumferentially arranged pistons. The number of pistons and the number of lobes have the number one as the only common factor and the numbers differ from each other. The deceleration phase is smaller than the acceleration phase.
