US Patent 7343894 Modular rotary engine

An internal combustion device, rotor self cooled, concentric and symmetric shape, dynamically variable compression ratio; capable of developing multiple Otto cycles per rotation, using modules, each made, mainly of a solenoid gate valve and three chambers operating at the rotor periphery. High power/weight ratio, that improves substantially, by increasing quantity of working modules, and without any drive shaft lengthening. With volumetric asymmetry ratio between chambers, combustion gasses quick exhaust and fast rise of air/fuel mix pressure peak. Proper for many types of combustion and class of fuels, including hydrogen, and efficient use of compressed air as external energy supply. Excels in aircraft use.
