1. A modular revolving engine with tangential explosions,
with two intake flywheels (Va) or one intake
flywheel (Va) and a driving flywheel (Vm), perfectly
in line, a slide-free driving system (1) which makes
them rotatably interdependent by causing them to
rotate in opposite directions to each other in a same
plane perpendicular to their respective axes, this
engine being characterized in that it comprises:
- groups of components essential for optimum
recovery of the explosion power, distributed at
perfectly equal intervals on the periphery of
each flywheel,
- each group being positioned so that its own axis
is parallel to the line passing through the center
of each flywheel at a distance from the latter,
strictly identical for all the groups,
- these groups of components consisting of
pushrod supports (5) communicating with their
explosion chamber (4), sliding hollow pushrods
with a ball head end (7) or with a half-shell head
end (7B), compression springs (6),
- these groups being locked on each flywheel so
that each ball end of the pushrod of the group
of one flywheel always comes and interlocks
during rotation with the half-shell end of the
pushrod of the matching group of the other flywheel,
- the whole being completed by a system acting
on each pushrod, limiting its linear stroke, a
system preventing it from rotating on itself, a
system limiting the centrifugal force which it undergoes
during the rotation of the flywheel, an
ignition system,
- each intake flywheel freely rotating via hubs or
bearings on its hollow shaft (9) which includes
an intake slot (2), this flywheel including chamber
slots (3),
- one of the flywheels including said sliding hollow
pushrods with a ball head (7), the other flywheel
including said hollow sliding pushrods
with a half-shell head (7B).
2. The engine according to claim 1, characterized in
that, the system limiting the centrifugal force on
each pushrod is a rocker (16) with a counterweight
(12) with spring return (22), oscillating by means of
an axis (14) on a yoke (15) with a lug (21).
3. The engine according to claim 1 or 2, characterized
in that the stroke of the pushrods is either limited
by a pin (20) fixed on the pushrod holder and
penetrating the housing of suitable length, of the
pushrod, or by a lug (21) existing on the yoke (15)
limiting the oscillation of the rocker and at the same
time the stroke of the pushrod, or by a flange on the
front portion of the pushrod, stopped by a cap also
including a smaller port, which is fixed on the pushrod
support.
4. The engine according to claim 3, characterized in
that the rotation of the pushrods is either prevented
by the pin (20) or by the fork of the rocker (16)
clamping on either side, flats provided on each
pushrod body or by the fact that the pushrod bodies
have a tab in a housing or that their section is partly
square or hexagonal, with sliding into a port of the
pushrod support, with a matching section.
5. The engine according to any of the preceding
claims, characterized in that the pushrods (7, 7B)
and the intake shafts (9) on their cylindrical portion
and the intake shaft (9) on the periphery of its slot
(2), include sealing components.
6. The engine according to any of the preceding
claims, characterized in that the ends of the pushrods
ducts include a funnel-shaped throat acting as
a nozzle.
7. The engine according to claim 1, characterized in
that the driving of the flywheels (1) occurs through
gears or gear trains, with variable thicknesses and
sizes, two by two, and also with variable gear teeth,
two by two.
8. The engine according to claim 1, characterized in
that the engine includes either a single module or
batteries of several modules, angularly shifted with
respect to the previous one in order to obtain turbine-
like rotating groups, or unshifted in order to obtain
a multiplied resultant explosion force, or a mix
of shifted and unshifted modules.
9. The engine according to claims 1 and 2, characterized
in that it may be operated in either direction of
rotation.
