A rotary internal combustion engine consisting of a generally cylindrical housing assembly having three different sections, with a common power shaft eccentrically journalled in the assembly. Each section has a rotor mounted on the power shaft, with six evenly spaced radial vanes slidably carried thereby and being slidably and sealingly engageable with the inside surfaces of the associated section. A fuel intake duct is connected to the first section, which accomplishes fuel admission and compression strokes. A port in a partition wall admits compressed fuel into the second section, which has spark plugs for igniting the compressed fuel. The second section provides expansion and exhaust strokes. The gaseous products of combustion leave through an exhaust duct connected to the second section. The third section defines an air blower whose output is connected to the second section by a transfer duct, discharging into the exhaust region of the second section and exerting scavenging action on the gaseous products of combustion discharging through the exhaust duct. Thus, there are six power strokes per revolution of the power shaft.
