The invention comprises a rotary engine apparatus and method of use thereof, where the rotary engine comprises multiple injection ports. Optional injection ports include a first port in an expansion chamber, a second port in the expansion chamber after a first rotation of the rotor, a third port into the expansion chamber after a second rotation of the rotor, a fourth port from a fuel path through a shaft of the rotary engine, and/or a fifth port into a rotor-vane chamber between the rotor and a vane. Optionally, one or more of the injection ports are controlled through mechanical valving and/or through electronic and/or computer control.

A rotary fluid device including an outer housing assembly and an inner rotating arrangement adapted to rotate relative to the outer housing assembly, the outer housing assembly including a rotor housing and the inner rotating arrangement including a rotor dimensioned to rotatably fit within the rotor housing. One of the rotor and the rotor housing include lobes extending in a radial direction relative to respective inner and outer circumferential surfaces and the other of the rotor and the rotor housing includes followers and follower recesses in which the followers are moveably located. Three pressure zones may be defined between the followers and follower recesses the three pressure zones including an intermediate pressure zone and two laterally pressure zones on opposing circumferentially lateral sides of the intermediate pressure zone.

A vane rotary compressor includes a roller rotatably supported in a cylinder and including a plurality of vane slots formed along a circumferential direction with back pressure chambers formed at one end of each of the vane slots. A plurality of vanes are slidably supported in the vane slots protruding toward an inner circumferential surface of the cylinder. A compression space formed by the vanes between the roller and the cylinder includes an inlet port and an outlet port formed at both sides of a contact point between the roller and the cylinder. A vane positioned between the inlet port and the outlet port is configured such that a front gap between a front surface of the vane and the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder is smaller than a rear gap between a rear surface of the vane and an inner surface of the back pressure chamber.

An arc turbine system includes an elliptical housing, a rotor having two sliding channels positioned centrically to the housing, and two sliding arcs disposed within the rotor sliding channels and slide therein. The sliding arcs are engaging the housing simultaneously at both ends in a near friction-free environment supported by repulsion force of like-pole magnets. Four chambers disposed within two static chambers between the rotor and the long-axis of said housing, the two static chambers further include proper inlet and outlet ports configured to allow fluid and gas flow into and flow out of the static chambers. The system configured in two distinct settings for two distinct uses. 1) To generate dense rotating energy with optimum efficiency, and high power-to-weight ratio by burning fuel and 2) to pump, compress, vacuum, convey, pressurize, turbocharge, allow precision and micro-movement of gas and liquid, conversion of pressurized gas and liquid to rotating energy, all with optimum efficiency, near-zero vibration, near-zero friction, capability of handling all viscous fluids and 100% increased flow rate using dual inlet and dual outlet ports.

A positive displacement expander with an operating fluid chamber of expansive volume regulated by a shifting head. The shifting head may enhance rotation of a housing utilized to rotate a shaft for providing work to any of a variety of power retrieval devices. Additional efficiencies may also be realized through unique hydraulic layouts for circulating of the operating fluid from a heat exchanger, through the rotary device and to a cold exchanger for continuous operating of the rotary device.

The disclosure discloses a slide vane, a pump body assembly, a compressor and an air conditioner having the same. The pump body assembly includes a cylinder assembly, a flange portion, a rotating shaft and the slide vane. The flange portion is connected to the cylinder assembly, a working cavity is formed between the flange portion and the cylinder assembly, and an avoidance portion is provided on a surface, located in the working cavity, of the flange portion. A limiting structure is provided in an accommodation portion. The limiting structure is provided with an avoidance position in the accommodation portion, and at least part of the limiting structure is provided with a limiting position protruded out of a surface of the accommodation portion. Such a configuration avoids friction occurring between the head of the slide vane and the cavity wall of the working cavity.

The invention relates to a six-stroke rotary-vane internal combustion engine with hermetically sealed working space comprising a stator with at least one inlet and at least one outlet, a respective hole for at least one spark plug, and working chambers comprising of an air-fuel intake and compression, and of expansion and exhaust of combustion products working chamber; a cylindrical rotor rigidly fastened to a shaft with combustion chambers alternating with vane grooves made in the cylindrical surface and vanes fitted in the vane grooves; side walls; front and rear bearing shields. The whole working space of the engine is bound by parts rigidly and hermetically fastened to the stator. Composite prismatic pieces are placed into end grooves on both sides of the rotor, while the ends of said composite prismatic pieces are pushed by a first spring against the adjacent vanes and one of the longer sides of the composite prismatic pieces is pushed by a second spring against the side walls.
