Modified Rotary Engine

Submitted 6 years ago

The invention makes use of both rotary and reciprocating principles used in internal combustion engines. The design of the invention is mainly focussed on improving the drawbacks as mentioned in the background of other reciprocating and rotary engines.
The design uses a spring loaded piston operated for compression of the air fuel mixture and the combustion and ignition of the air fuel mixture happening in the rotor of the engine. The rotor of the engine acts as the power transmission for the engine. It consist of lesser moving parts as compared to reciprocating internal combustion engines which greatly reduces the maintenance cost .The design also makes good the dynamic balancing of the engine when compared to reciprocating engines. It also increases the power performance of the engine when compared to reciprocating engines.
Even though previous attempts were made to work on rotary principles, the Wankel engine was close enough to be practically used. But the Wankel engine had a design flaw due to the eccentricity of its motion. The present invention is concentrically designed, and the power is transmitted centrally from the rotor. The accessories used are less. The compression ratio is very high thereby heavier fuels can also be used.
By varying the clearance chamber volume and substituting the spark plug with a diesel injector the engine can be converted to a diesel fuel operated engine.
