Rotary Engine This new rotary engine includes a pair of pistons each having
opposite, extending vanes. These pistons are rotated relative
to each other on a common shaft that extends through the
Has No Gears, cylindrical housing of the engine. The power from the
pistons, transmitted to the shaft, is accomplished by each of
Crankshafts, the pistons being connected through a series of linkages to
opposite end plates, which in turn rotate with the output
shaft. The four vanes of the pistons provide four working
Flywheels chambers so that one revolution of the pistons results in four
firings of the spark plug along with the related intake,
compression, combustion and exhaust strokes.
Or Valves In a conventional engine, the pistons move relative to the
engine head; in this engine, the pistons move relative to each
other to vary the size of the work chamber. Thus, the piston
vanes, which accelerate and decelerate on their way around
Linked piston-controlling arms regulate
inside the cylinder, are continually revolving and the four
angular movement of the pistons steps of the combustion cycle are being performed almost
simultaneously.
Many inventors have worked on this type of rotary engine
but have failed to solve its major problem—control of the

ROTATING SEAL PLATE
From standpoint of crankshaft torque output characteristics 8-cylinder in-line piston engine or 4-cylinder engine with power
(power pulses), “Ryenco” engine would be equivalent to either output shaft running half-crankshaft speed.
