Abstract
This Rotary engine with pistons, a stator and a power chamber is comprising a Stator, which contains the power chamber for combusting a mixture of fuel and air; an air intake slot, exhaust slots and the power chamber located along an inside periphery of stator; a Rotor containing three of said pistons and three cylinders that create compression of the mixture of fuel and air; and an Eccentric Shaft for attachment to said pistons, said eccentric shaft moving said pistons in a inwardly and outwardly direction; the rotor further containing three pallets, which create a movable wall at an outer circumferential periphery of the rotor, said walls slide into the power chamber cavity of the stator; the rotor block has three equally spaced slots for mounting the three pallets, the Pallets, moves into the power chamber cavity during ignition of the compressed fuel and air mixture to enable the pallets and rotor to be pushed along the power chamber cavity, creating the rotation of the rotor.
Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention


The present invention relates to Fuel injector Motors, and particular to producing the Torque Power directly from burning & exploded gases of compressed fuel & air mixture from Cylinders, placed into a Rotor, into the piston like Expandable Power Chamber from Stator, where the exploded gases have no other way to flow, than by pushing the Pallet, attached to the Rotor, and moved into Stator's Power Chamber piston like, forward . . . exactly like into regular Cylinder/Piston gases are contained, so the there is no Gases Pressure or Torque Power lost by Gases escape, the seal between Rotor's outer-wall & Stator's inner-wall has to be secured.


The presented Version of Invention has the Cylinders & Pistons placed into the Rotor, the inner moving & rotating & pinning unit around a cam or off-center shaft, and piston like Expendable Power Chamber placed into Stator, the outer nonmoving unit,


but this Invention works as well as making the Inner Cylinders & Pistons Unit as nonmoving unit, and the Outer piston like Expendable Power Chamber Unit as the moving & rotating & spinning unit together the cam or off-center shaft.


The presented Version of Invention has the Rotor placed inside Stator, so the exploded gases flow toward outside,


but this Invention works as well as placing the Rotor in-top-of Stator, so the exploded gases flow toward lower side.


Testing will decide which Version is the best version to be used.


2. Description of the Related Art


The attraction of Radial Engines having Cylinders Blocks, with Pistons executing a reciprocation motion, Rotating about a Stationary Crankshaft . . . led to many proposals, but most of them led to flow of exhaust gases from cylinders into turbine blades . . . which looks simple, . . . but where the gases pressure & torque power is diminished & lost quickly by freely gases escape, as a result the conventional Turbine Engines prevailed.


SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The present invention is directed to overcoming the problems outlined above with the object of providing an Internal Combustion Engine of high performance and high efficiency capable of running at high speed, which imply maintaining & using the ignited gases pressure & torque power at high.


The piston like Expandable Power Chamber from Stator, where Pallets, attached to the Rotor, and flipped & moved into Stator's piston like Power Chamber Cavity, at Ignition & Stroke Time, is solving the problem of loosing the ignited gases pressure met by the previous proposals of turbine with blade style.


The present invention is producing the Torque Power directly from ignited, burning & exploded gases of compressed fuel & air mixture from Cylinders into the piston like Expandable Power Chamber Cavity from Stator, where the Ignited & Exploded Gases have no other way to flow, than by pushing the Pallet forward . . . exactly like into regular Cylinder & Piston gases are contained, so the pressure lose by gases escape, as seen to turbine with blase style, is eliminated.


In accordance with the present invention, just 10%-20% increase in Ratio, means a lot, during this time of fuel prizes increase after every month.


Also by reducing the noise & pollution just by 20%-30%, during this time of very crowded cities, is also a major gain.


This Invention may be advantageously implemented to all different motors, from small to giants, from cars to trucks, from small power generators to big power plants . . . also as hybrids . . . so on

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

This Rotary engine with pistons, a stator and a power chamber, made from two (2) main parts:


see FIG. 22, FIG. 23 & FIG. 24;


1) a Stator, the non-moving unit, containing the Power Chamber cavity, where the ignited & burning & exploded gazes from Rotor's Cylinder will expend & flow, and a


see FIG. 5, FIG. 6, FIG. 6.1, FIG. 6.3, FIG. 7, FIG. 8, FIG. 9, FIG. 10, FIG. 10.1, and FIG. 10.3,


2) Rotor, the moving & spinning unit, containing standard three (3) Cylinders & Pistons, producing the fuel & air mixture compression and ignition/explosion, also for each Cylinder a Pallet attached to Rotor, and movable & flip able into Power Chamber cavity as Stator's configuration allows.


see FIG. 11, FIG. 12, FIG. 12.1, FIG. 12.2, FIG. 13 & FIG. 14


As the Rotor rotates & spins ⅓ of turn, each of the three (3) Rotor's Cylinders with Pistons (see FIGS. 2, 22 & 23) reaches the Air Intake Slot area from the Stator (see FIG. 5), where the Off-Center Shaft from center moves & pulls the Piston toward the center (see FIG. 20), sucking & injecting the air & gas mixture into the Cylinder, which is T1 Suction & Injection Time.


Than, as the Rotor rotates & spins another ⅓ of turn, each of the three (3) Pistons from Rotor's Cylinders (see FIG. 2, 22.1, & 23) are moved & pushed away the center by Off-Center Shaft (see FIG. 20), compressing the air & gas mixture into the Cylinder, which is T2 Compression Time.


Than, as the Rotor rotates & spins another ⅓ of turn, each of the three (3) Rotor's Cylinders with Pistons (see FIG. 2, 22.2, 23.1 & 24.1) have the Sparks ignites/fire the compressed air & gas mixture, producing the ignition/explosion/stroke of the burning air & gas mixture, which is T3 Stroke Time.


The ignited & exploding burning air & gas mixture need to expend pushing against the Piston, but this pistons are held in position by the Off-Center Shaft (see FIG. 20), unlike the conventional Fuel Injector Motors, then the Rotor's Cylinder reaches the Stator's Power Chamber cavity where the Rotor's Pallets move & flip into (see FIGS. 2 & 5), and the exploding burning air & gas mixture are allowed to flow & expend, pushing against the Rotor's Pallets, moving the Rotor.


see FIG. 15, FIG. 16, FIG. 16.1, FIG. 17, and FIG. 18


As the Pallets move & flip into the power Chamber, they push out the burned air & gas mixture from previous Stroke toward Exhaust Slots, which is T4 Exhaust Time, at the same time with T3.


This new Fuel Injector Rotary Motor:


is producing the Torque Power directly from flowing of ignited, burning & exploded gases of compressed fuel & air mixture from Rotor's Cylinders into the Power Chamber Cavity from Stator, producing the Torque Power at higher Ratio, directly to Rotary Motion & Spinning of the Rotor;


is a lower fuel consumption motor, also a lower noise motor by using the directly rotary motion (by eliminating the piston arms up & down motion & drive shaft, as a Torque Power;


is lower fuel consumption motor by using the Pallets attached to the Rotor, and sliding against Stator wall during the Injection & Compression Time, and inside Power Chamber cavity at Stroke Time, piston like style, with no power torque & gases pressure lost.
