A four-stroke rotary-piston engine has an outer disk, and inner disk, at least one cylinder, at least one piston, at least one piston rod, a fixed gear engaged with a planet gear and a rotary gate valve positioned at a head of the cylinder. The inner disk is rotatable with respect to the outer disk by a compression control device. The planet gear rotates a crank situated on a shaft thereof. The shaft passes upwardly through the inner disk. The crank reciprocates a lever via the piston rod. The lever has an end pivoted on the outer disk so as to push the piston into and out of the cylinder.

Rotary vane internal combustion engine comprises of two side-by-side rotors, placed in a cylindrical housing, wherein each rotor has at least two radial vanes rigidly attached to the rotor that form chambers for intake, compression, combustion, and exhaust. Each rotor alternately engages with a shaft by overrunning one-way clutches and is held from turning back, through the damper, mounted on a corresponding flywheel and forming a part of the flywheel assembly, which is rigidly attached on the shaft. The assembled rotors from the outside are rigidly closed by flanges on each of which is mounted at least one blade. The blades are positioned into formed cavities between the rotors and caps of the housing, thereby forming two cooling cavities through which coolant circulates around rotors through openings in the housing and through longitudinal grooves in the shaft. On the vanes are mounted cylindrical and conical seals, which remove the need for lubrication.

Highly efficient pressure differential rotary engines can include rotatable cylinders arranged radially around a central stationary shaft. Each of the cylinders can house one or more pistons, and the cylinders and pistons can rotate together about the central stationary shaft. Pressure differentials within the cylinders can be used to power the rotation of the cylinders about the central stationary shaft.

A system and method of operating the same includes an engine speed sensor determining an engine speed, an exhaust gas bypass valve, an exhaust gas bypass valve actuator coupled to the exhaust gas bypass valve and a controller. The controller partially opens the exhaust gas bypass valve with a first predetermined effective area greater than fully closed when the engine speed is at idle. The controller determines an acceleration event, holding the exhaust gas bypass valve open at least a second predetermined effective area greater than fully closed in response to the acceleration event.

An exhaust gas diverter valve coupled within a pipe comprises a housing having a passage therethrough, a valve member rotatably coupled within the housing the valve member rotates about a valve axis. A first valve seat mat be disposed partially circumferentially within said passage and extending radially inwardly.

An engine system and method of operating the same includes a two stroke engine, an exhaust manifold coupled to the two-stroke engine, a tuned pipe coupled to the exhaust manifold coupled to the exhaust manifold, a stinger pipe coupled to the tuned pipe, a silencer coupled to the tuned pipe and an exhaust pipe, and an exhaust bypass valve. Exhaust gases are directed from the two stroke engine through an exhaust manifold and through a tuned pipe. An opening of the exhaust bypass valve is changed to redirect exhaust gases away from the tuned pipe to change a pressure within the tuned pipe. In response to changing the opening of the exhaust bypass valve, the airflow through the engine is changed.
