Variable compression rate rotary engine - has rotor with cylinders inclined to reference radii and compression rate control linked to synchroniser

摘要

The rotary engine has a rotor with cylinders inclined relative to reference radii, the compression rate of the engine being variable. A compressed gas collector and transfer chamber is formed in the rotor, the engine shaft including a synchroniser consisting of gears. The gears of the synchroniser are provided as two opposed pairs, the compression rate control device being coupled to the synchroniser by stationary links cooperating with toothed grooves in the rotor and stator.
