The present invention provides a novel internal combustion engine design and methods for using the same. The internal combustion engine of the present invention may include two rotors on which the pistons and cylinders and pistons are mounted, respectively. A plurality of cylinders mounted on a cylinder rotor, and a plurality of pistons mounted on a piston rod rotor, where the arrangements of the pistons and cylinders are complementary and each piston is paired with one of the cylinders. The cylinder rotor and the piston rod rotor may be position at oblique angle relative to one another, such that their central axes are located on a same plane, but the axes are not coaxially aligned and intersect on that plane.

An electric device has a driveshaft with at least one stator cylinder positioned between opposing, curvilinear shaped cams mounted on the driveshaft, where the center axis of the stator cylinder is parallel with but spaced apart from the driveshaft axis. A magnet assembly is disposed in each end of the stator cylinder, with one magnet assembly engaging one cam and the other magnet assembly engaging the other cam. Each magnet assembly includes a cam follower that can move along a curvilinear shaped cam. A magnet slide arm attached to the cam reciprocates magnets carried on the magnet slide arm through electromagnetic windings disposed around the stator cylinder. An electrical input delivered to the windings can reciprocate the arm, driving the cams to rotate the driveshaft. Alternatively, rotation of the driveshaft can be used to reciprocate the arm to induce electric current in the windings.

An internal combustion engine may include a first piston reciprocatingly disposed in a first cylinder, a combustion chamber fluidly coupled with the first cylinder, and an ignition source at least partially disposed within the combustion chamber. An intake valve may provide selective fluid communication between an intake system and the combustion chamber, an exhaust valve may provide selective fluid communication between an exhaust system and the combustion chamber. A second piston may be reciprocatingly disposed within a second cylinder, configured to draw a fluid into the second cylinder via a fluid inlet, and expel the fluid via a fluid outlet. A pressure accumulator may receive the fluid from the second cylinder and provide a reservoir of pressurized fluid. A crankshaft may be coupled with the first piston and the second piston for rotational motion associated with reciprocating movement of the first piston and the second piston.

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.

A connecting rod for an internal combustion engine having an adjustable length between a first connecting rod eye and a second connecting rod eye. An eccentric member having a bearing bore which is positioned eccentrically to an outer diameter is rotated to adjust the length. The eccentric member is rotated by a rack and pinion drive and a double acting hydraulic cylinder.

A rotational combustion engine that generates force from the reciprocal motion and centripetal motion of one or more pistons that is then converted into rotational motion of a first cam and second cam wherein the cams are separated by a 2-3 degree horizontal offset and an angle of 60 degrees as well as camshaft assembly and driving shaft to provide power to an entity such as an automobile.
