                         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
