A rotary engine, parts thereof, and methods associated therewith is provided. The engine is modular and adjustable to accommodate a variety of requirements and preferences. The system includes a combustion assembly having a housing and a power rotor positioned therein. The power rotor rotates in a first direction from the beginning of each combustion process through the end of each exhaust process. The system also includes a compression assembly linked to the combustion assembly such that the compression rotor rotates in the first direction from the beginning of each intake process through the end of each compression process. A tank assembly in fluid communication with the compression assembly and the combustion assembly provides stability to the system while eliminating or otherwise reducing transitional loses.

An internal combustion rotary engine comprises: at least one combustion chamber; a flywheel; at least one piston provided in said flywheel; two or more barrier elements; a circumferential volume between the outer surface of said flywheel, the housing of said flywheel, and two or more barrier elements; wherein some parts of the circumferential volume are also delimited by one or more pistons, and wherein the barrier elements are adapted to be positioned within said circumferential volume thereby to essentially block the flow of air therein, and to be positioned such as to at least partially unblock the flow of air therein, thereby allowing said air flow to take place, and to be positioned such as to be totally open to promote the piston to move between circumferential area and wherein the timing of movement of the barrier elements is dependent from the rotation of said flywheel and/or the location of said piston(s); and wherein the barrier element that is in contact with a portion of pressurized air is adapted to move without the need for sealing while the piston is blocking the pressurized air that is needed for combustion inside the combustion chamber, wherein the piston partitions the pressurized air into two portions, one of which is locked in the combustion chamber while the other is located between the front of the piston and the barrier element.

A first rotor configured to rotate adjacent to a second rotor is disclosed. The second rotor includes a circular main body with a first axis of rotation and a vane extending radially from the main body. The first rotor includes a first curved surface that corresponds to a curve swept at a constant radius about a second axis of rotation, a second curved surface that corresponds to a curve swept by a leading edge of the vane when the second rotor is simultaneously rotated about the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation, a third curved surface that corresponds to a curve swept by a trailing edge of the vane when the second rotor is simultaneously rotated about the first axis of rotation and the second axis of rotation, and a vane-receiving groove disposed between the second curved surface and the third curved surface.
