Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
119 words
A combustion engine comprising, a plurality of pistons spaced radially about a drive-shaft, said pistons reciprocating axially of said drive-shaft in cooperating cylinders in a rotor cylinder block, said cylinder block driving said drive-shaft, each of said cylinders passing multiple exhaust, intake, and ignition stations on each revolution, said pistons being axially controlled by sliding or rolling engagement with a stationary reaction cam ring, said stationary cam ring having non-harmonic race with a compression slope, an elevation in synchronism with each ignition station said elevation of a distance sufficient to allow complete combustion at uniform volume, said cam ring further having a power slope over which each piston travels following complete combustion, said piston travel rotating said cylinder block.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
119 words
A combustion engine comprising, a plurality of pistons spaced radially about a drive-shaft, said pistons reciprocating axially of said drive-shaft in cooperating cylinders in a rotor cylinder block, said cylinder block driving said drive-shaft, each of said cylinders passing multiple exhaust, intake, and ignition stations on each revolution, said pistons being axially controlled by sliding or rolling engagement with a stationary reaction cam ring, said stationary cam ring having non-harmonic race with a compression slope, an elevation in synchronism with each ignition station said elevation of a distance sufficient to allow complete combustion at uniform volume, said cam ring further having a power slope over which each piston travels following complete combustion, said piston travel rotating said cylinder block.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
The combustion engine of claim 1 including means to inject water into said combustion chamber, said means spaced from said ignition station whereby the mean effective pressure within said cylinder is increased during expansion.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
27 words
The combustion engine of claim 1 including means to allow the flame to pass from one cylinder to the next as that cylinder passes the ignition station.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The combustion engine of claim 1 including means to inject fuel continuously into each ignition station whereby the speed of said engine is varied by the rate of fuel fed to said stations.
