Abstract
The disclosure is that of an invention directed to a rotary energy converter so constructed that it may be used either as in internal or external combustion engine, a fluid pump or as a gas or air compressor. The basic configuration consists of a stationary housing within which is rotatably mounted a disc-like primary circular rotor having a parallel-sided chamber symmetrically disposed with respect to its axis of rotation and a secondary circular rotor rotatable within the parallel sides of the chamber of the primary rotor and eccentrically affixed to a shaft that is mounted within the housing for rotation about an axis that is disposed in parallel offset relation to that of the primary rotor. The relation between the diameter of the secondary rotor within the parallel sides of the chamber of the primary rotor and the distance between the axes of the primary rotor and the shaft being such that for each revolution of the primary rotor with respect to the housing two revolutions of the shaft will occur and that due to the relative motions between the primary and secondary rotors there will be only a single relative revolution between the primary and secondary rotors. The housing and opposite ends of the primary rotor chamber are suitably ported for intake and discharge and the basic configurations may be arranged in multiples for operation with respect to a single shaft common to all secondary rotors. The basic configurations also may be arranged in dual units, each of which functions with suitable inter-stage manifolding as a two stage assembly, in order to provide substantially 360.degree. power operation.
