Definitions

  • the present invention relates to the design of a rotary engine modular with tangential explosions, operating without piston, connecting rod or crankshaft, camshaft or valve.
  • this engine is composed of two intake wheels (Va) perfectly in line in the same plane perpendicular to their respective axes, interdependent in rotation by a system drive without slipping (1) which makes them rotate synchronized and speed absolutely equal, in the opposite direction of each other.
  • frills have on their periphery and at intervals perfectly equal, the same number of groups shifted according to the technique explained above, comprising: push-buttons (5) with chamber (4) and ports for spark plugs (8), sliding hollow pushers (7) or (7 B), compression springs (6).
  • the training system (1) which makes the two wheels interdependent in rotation by rotating them in opposite directions relative to each other, is stalled so that each turn of the steering wheel, each pusher (7) of a steering wheel, always comes to nest with the same pusher (7 B) corresponding to it, on the other wheel.
  • each intake shaft (9) fills simultaneously with through the lights (2) and (3) each chamber (4) and its hollow pusher corresponding (7) or (7B).
  • the driving force is collected by an enmeshed gear to the drive system (1) or a full coaxial shaft to one of the intermediate gears.
  • Each pusher (7 and 7 B) has at the end of its duct a funnel-shaped narrowing acting as a nozzle, allowing a greater speed of gas exit at the moment of the explosion, as well as a greater reaction force applied to each pusher.
  • the internal pressure being greater by the existing shrink, the two nested pushers experience a greater thrust one towards the other, promoting sealing.
  • the pushers being integral with the flywheels whose axes are immutable, these wheels are thus mechanically the recipients of this tangential force, which turns them simultaneously in opposite directions.
  • the motor module has two flywheels (Va) a drive system by two gears (1) which makes these flywheels fast to rotate by rotating them in opposite direction to each other, twelve pushers (5) and their ergot (20) twelve sliding hollow pushers (7) or (7 B) with flange (10) spring of compression (6) twelve stirrups (15) and heel (21) counterbalanced rocker (16) (12) axis (14) spring (22).
  • Va flywheels
  • gears (1) which makes these flywheels fast to rotate by rotating them in opposite direction to each other
  • twelve pushers (5) and their ergot (20) twelve sliding hollow pushers (7) or (7 B) with flange (10) spring of compression (6) twelve stirrups (15) and heel (21) counterbalanced rocker (16) (12) axis (14) spring (22).
  • Each intake flywheel (VA) turns freely by hubs or bearings on its hollow shaft (9) which comprises the intake port (2).
  • This steering wheel comprises six bedrooms (4) and their light (3) six orifices for candle (8) six door pushers (5) and lug (20) six hollow pushers (7B or 7B) and spring compression (6) six calipers (15) with heel (21) tilting (16) counterweight (12) axis (14) spring (22).
  • this engine comprises: intake wheel (Va), and a flywheel (Vm) of the push-buttons (5) communicating with their room (4), pushers (7) or (7B) springs of compression (6).
  • the flywheel (Vm) is secured to its shaft which rotates on bearings.
  • This engine should be enclosed in a crankcase to avoid nuisance noise due to explosions, with an exhaust outlet placed a little higher than the fund, to allow the recovery of the lubricant that should not not be expelled by the exhaust.
  • the casing can be cooled by air using fins whose it could be provided during its foundry molding or reported or by circulation of water or oil in its thickness or its double wall or any other adequate means.
  • This lubricant would be easily recovered in the bottom of the crankcase and reinjected in the system after having gone through beforehand and possibly if necessary, a cooling radiator.
  • the ignition beams should be protected so that they do not not exposed to the effect of explosions.
  • the part of the pushers (7 and 7 B) ensuring the nesting contact should be made of very resistant materials (treated steel, titanium, etc.) or in part covered with ceramic and anti-friction materials and grooves or one or more sealing segments.
  • Tippers and their counterweights could be made of steel or made of cast iron, steel shafts treated.
  • Ruffles could be made of lightweight materials (aluminum treated or milled or composite) to get more nervousness, or about heavier (steel or cast iron) to get more power.
  • each engine forming a module works with any number but equal by steering wheel: - push holders with room - push - tippers, etc., usually from 3 to 6 per steering wheel.
  • This engine is compatible for operation with liquid and gaseous fuels.
