This engine or energy converter has a casing comprising coaxial spaced sections each having a cavity bounded by opposed parallel flat inner side surfaces merging with semi-cylindrical top and bottom inner surfaces and a rotor coaxial with said sections, having rotor portions in said sections. Said rotor portions carry outwardly spring pressed opposed aligned radial pistons. The pistons of one rotor portion are disposed at right angles to the pistons of the other rotor portion. In each section there is formed a top chamber on one side of the rotor portion for said sections and a bottom chamber on opposite side of the rotor portion for said section. Means is provided to feed combustion gases to the top chambers of said sections in timed relation, to compress said gases in said top chambers, to form explosive charges, transfer the charges from the top chamber of each section to the bottom chamber of the other section, to fire the charges in the bottom chambers in timed relation to explode the charges, and to exhaust the combustion gases in timed relation.

An energy converter comprising a casing having a cavity, a rotor rotatably mounted in said cavity, said cavity having an internal continuous surface, said internal surface of said cavity comprising opposed surface portions contacting diametrically opposed portions of the periphery of said rotor, and curved end portions merging with said opposed portions and spaced from said rotor, said rotor and internal surface forming a chamber on each side of the rotor, an inlet and an outlet for each chamber, said rotor being formed with diametrically opposed slots, diametrically opposed pistons slidable radially in said slots, spring means on said rotor to bias said pistons radially outwardly, and means swivelled to the outer ends of said pistons for movement through limited angles and having wiping contact with the internal surface of said cacity, and a pair of rings rotatably mounted in said casing on opposite sides of said rotor, coaxially thereof, means to fix said rings to the opposite sides of said rotor, for rotation therewith, and the side edges of said pistons having radial sliding cOntact with said rings.
