RoundEngine Technology - More than Just a Combustion Engine

Generator
A generator is a machine using an internal combustion engine to drive other apparatus that is designed to produce electricity. Given that the RoundEngine has advantages over reciprocating engines in terms of torque, horsepower, fuel savings, emissions reductions, vibration – the same advantages will apply to the RoundEngine serving as a generator.

Compressor
A traditional piston compressor moves a piston in a cylinder utilizing a connecting rod and crankshaft in order to compress air or gas.

The RoundEngine compresses air as part of its compression stroke and thus would employ the same operating principles as in a combustion engine – but without the combustion.

Hydraulic Motor
Hydraulic motors are powered by pressurized hydraulic fluid and transfer rotational kinetic energy to mechanical devices. Hydraulic motors can also be designed to rotate in reverse direction and act as a pump.

In the RoundEngine, the pressurized fluid would be injected into the toroidal piston housing in the inlet between the timing disc and the back of the piston. The pressurized fluid would drive the piston forward before exiting out the exit port and being recycled into the mechanism used to create the hydraulic pressure.

Hybrid Engine
The RoundEngine is a combustion engine. As such, it can also effectively serve as the combustion engine portion of a hybrid engine and yield the same torque, power, fuel and emissions benefits as it does in other applications.
