Continuous motion revolving piston engine
This invention of a continuous motion revolving piston engine describes a machine comprising piston(s) fitted to rings that revolve around a stator circular base which has a cavity in which a disc fits to create a closed combustion compartment together with the casing. The disc has a disc cavity to allow the piston to pass. The rotation of the disc and piston are synchronized to allow the piston to pass through the disc cavity. As there are no reciprocating parts and optionally enables an oil free operation, it is more efficient and has cleaner exhaust than existing engines.
1. A machine comprising:
one or more pistons supported by one or more rings that each revolve around a stator circular base,
said stator circular base having a cavity in which part of a disc fits, said disc having an axis parallel to an axis of said one or more rings revolving around said stator circular base,
said disc having a disc cavity in which said one or more pistons fit,
said one or more pistons and said one or more rings, and said disc, rotating in opposite directions such that when said one or more pistons and said one or more rings rotate clockwise, said disc rotates counterclockwise or vice versa,
the rotation of said one or more pistons and said one or more rings, and said disc, being synchronized to allow said one or more pistons to pass through said disc cavity,
a casing enclosing said one or more pistons and said one or more rings, said disc and said stator circular base, said casing forms one or more closed compartments in which pressure differentiation drives said one or more pistons,
gears attached to said one or more rings and said disc used to ensure synchronization of rotation,
one or more output shafts, connected to said disc and/or said one or more rings and/or said gears, providing torque,
said casing having one or more casing inlet channels and one or more casing outlet channels, an internal chamber and one or more chamber channels that connect to said internal chamber for storage of intake air,
said one or more rings having one or more ring channels, that based on position of said one or more pistons align with said one or more casing inlet and/or said one or more casing outlet channels and/or said one or more chamber channels, to function as a valve.
2. The machine of claim 1 further comprising:
using combustion inside said one or more closed compartments to create said pressure differentiation to drive said one or more pistons,
using combustion outside said one or more closed compartments to create said pressure differentiation to drive said one or more pistons.
3. The machine of claim 1 further comprising:
positioning said internal chamber inside said stator circular base with said one or more chamber channels passing through said stator circular base,
positioning said one or more ring channels and said one or more chamber channels to store said intake air in said internal chamber,
positioning said one or more ring channels and said one or more chamber channels to release said intake air from said internal chamber.
4. The machine of claim 1 further comprising:
usage of said one or more casing inlet channels and said one or more casing outlet channels in said casing with rotation of said one or more rings to control a flows of said intake air and an exhaust between said one or more closed compartments and an exterior of said casing,
using the rotation of said one or more rings and an alignment of said one or more ring channels with said one or more chamber channels to control a second flow between said one or more closed compartments and said internal chamber for storage and release of said intake air.
5. The machine of claim 1 further comprising:
controlling different size and positioning of said one or more casing inlet channels, said one or more casing outlet channels, said one or more ring channels and/or said one or more chamber channels to vary duration of said pressure differentiation driving said one or more pistons and/or to vary a mix of said intake air and combustible fuel.
