The invention provides the mechanism for an internal combustion engine that utilizes a radial flow of combustible gases about the axis of a toroid or annulus cylinder. The principal components consist of a rhomboid linkage mechanism operating within a stationary cam. The mechanism sustains torque from two coaxial drive shafts upon which the mechanism imposes a compound rotary motion whereby an angular harmonic is superimposed over a constant angular velocity. This motion is applied through discs to two pair of pistons within the cylinder to effect a radial flow with a precisely defined theoretical cycle. Where the mechanics are used for a radial flow engine, the power generated is taken from the rhomboid mechanisms by a coupling and final drive shaft. Further the invention includes within its scope a method by which the discs are self sealing and the means of producing a multicylinder unit.

A causal mechanism comprising in part three coaxial shafts, said shafts being called inner, outer and a final drive shaft, the outer drive shaft shall partly enclose the inner drive shaft and they shall each at the same end have a pair of radial arms extending outwards, these arms to be offset in such a manner that each pair will be centred to the other and the linkage that will enclose them on either side and to a surrounding stationary cam, the said linkage to consist of eight links of equal length, pivoted at their centres in pairs about each side of the radial arms, further each pair of links will be pivotally joined at the ends to the adjacent pairs of links; these sets of links will also support at their pivotal ends four sets of rollers held firmly by the said links on either side, the said rollers to be held to the enclosing cam; (variously the pairs of links may be integrated into single end wise surrounding units;) the radial arms, links and rollers form the rhomboid mechanism, the angular relationship of the components of the rhomboid mechanism being determined by the said cam, the pivotal ends of the rhomboid mechanism will also support, on one side, drive rollers, the said drive rollers being held outwards from the linkage into the slideways of a power-take-off coupling, the said power-take-off coupling will have mutually perpendicular slideways radiating out from its centre; variously the drive rollers may be replaced by slideblocks, the said power-take-off coupling will be firmly affixed about its centre to the final drive shaft, the said final drive shaft together with the power-take-off coupling is driven by or drives the rhomboid mechanism through the drive rollers, the mechanisms linkage will in turn derive or sustain torque from the combinational effect of opposing and or differing torque of the three drive shafts, together with the regimentation of movement imposed by the stationary cam through the cam rollers; the inner and outer drive shaft extend away from the causal mechanism along the principal axis of a stationary cylinder of toroid or annular form, the said cylinder forming a chamber to enclose four movable partitions or pistons that separate the chamber into four sealed interspaces, the cylinder will have suitably located intake and exhaust ports together with provision for fuel injection and, or ignition of a combustible gas mixture; the cylinder will also have provision for the intrusion of a forward and rear driving disc, the said driving discs are immediately adjacent to each other with the forward and rear driving disc firmly affixed to inner and outer drive shafts respectively; each of the said driving discs will have a pair of diametrically opposed radial arms extended outwards into the cylinder cavity and so formed as to be offset and centred to the cylinder, the arms to pass within hollow pistons, the said pistons will be hollow and attachable to radial arms of the discs in such a manner that the loading to the arms by the pistons will be centred to the cylinder thus avoiding a twisting action of the pistons towards the cylinder walls; the said inner and outer drive shafts will impose, by means of the causal mechanism, to the pistons through the discs a uniform angular motion together with an angular harmonic motion; the rear driving disc shall be modified; the said modification to consist of two elements each of which will be a series of grooves contained within the disc face that laps the forward disc, the first element to be in part a complete annular groove of outer diameter slightly less than the outer diameter of the disc face from this groove a second groove will run into a cavity between the inner part of the forward and rear disc faces; the second element will consist of a groove in the form of an arc, the said arc to be of lesser diameter than the annular groove of the first element, the arc groove will not extend into the second groove of the first element; a series of grooves will extend from the arc groove into the cavity between the two discs, this series of grooves, the arc groove together with one or several holes cut through the disc from the arc grooves, form the second element; the combination of the said elements meet the imperative needs of an engine of this type, the first element preventing a separation of the mating faces of the discs by virtue of pressure between the faces; the said second element distributes lubrication entering the cavity between the disc by escapage between the drive shafts and returns excess amounts to the causal mechanism casing, variously the elements so described may be incorporated into the forward driving disc; this combination of components and mechanism conform to the principal unit of a radial flow internal combustion engine or variously a compressor or pump.
