The present invention relates to an engine or pump called rotary piston engine or pump, comprising a shape of revolution F relative to a delta axis, and rotatably movable about said delta axis in relation to an envelope V, and n cavities distributed over the perimeter of F. In each cavity is housed a rotating roller, characterized in that at least one roller has its center angle determined so as to obtain the closed volumes it delimits, as large as possible.

A rotary engine includes a housing and elliptical rotors mounted to rotor shafts for rotation within a chamber of the housing. A valve disk mounted to a rotor shaft includes a port passing between first and second sides. A valve plate includes a bore defining a cylindrical sidewall for rotationally receiving the valve disk. The valve disk includes a groove disposed in a wall, and includes a ring member disposed in the groove that contacts the sidewall of the bore when the valve disk is disposed in the bore. The apparatus may include multiple valve disks disposed in separate bores to operate as exhaust or intake valves. Circumferential channels may be included in the bore sidewalls within which the ring members are disposed.

The invention relates to a rotary piston engine (2) which operates as a pump, condenser or motor for a liquid or gaseous medium. The rotary piston engine (2) has a first gear (4) having a first central axis (I), a second gear (6) arranged opposite the first gear (4) and having a second central axis (II), and a drive shaft (8) having a third central axis (III) and a sliding plane (10, 12) fixedly connected to the drive shaft (8). The first central axis (I) and the second central axis (II) enclose an angle (3) which is not equal to 180. The third central axis (III) and at least one central axis (I, II) from the group comprising the first central axis (I) and second central axis (II) enclose an angle (1, 2) which is not equal to 0 or 90. The sliding plane (10, 12) and the central axis (I, II) are perpendicular to each other. The first gear (4) has a first end face (14) having a first has toothing (16) that h at least one first tooth (18), and the second gear (6) has a second end face (20) having a second toothing (22) that has at least one second tooth (24), wherein a first number of first teeth and a second number of second teeth differ from each other. The first tooth (18) and the second tooth (24) engage with each other in such a way that a working chamber (26) is formed by means of a meshing of the teeth (18, 24). A volume formed by means of the at least one working chamber (26) is changed by the meshing of the teeth (18, 24). The at least one working chamber (26) is delimited by a conically shaped inner wall (30) of a housing (28). The at least one working chamber (26) can be connected to a supply flow (40) and an outlet flow (42) for the medium. According to the invention, a component (4, 6) from the group comprising the first gear (4) and second gear (6) is coupled to the housing (28) such that a rotation of the drive shaft (8) causes only the components (4, 6) to tumble. The respective other components (4, 6) from the group comprising the first gear (4) and second gear (6) is coupled to the sliding plane (10, 12) such that the respective other component (4, 6) rotates and tumbles by means of a rotation of the drive shaft (8).

A rotary device is disclosed that includes a rotor comprising a main body and plurality of protrusions extending radially from the main body. At least a pair of voids are provided adjacent to each other in the main body of the rotor between each adjacent pair of the plurality of protrusions, and each pair of voids is spaced from each adjacent pair of voids by a distance greater than that between each adjacent void in each pair of voids.
