Abstract
A rotary internal combustion engine is shown having a combination of reaction nozzle means and turbine elements to extract energy from a stream of hot gases. A centrifugal air compressor feeds a rotary diffusion combustion chamber to operate the reaction nozzles. The products of combustion issuing from the nozzles are redirected by stationary vanes to drive a turbine to extract further energy from the gas flow as it passes to the exhaust.
