Theory, design, and Operating principles

How does it work?

Internal combustion engine: The fuel air mixture compressed into two rotors ignites and the explosion directly drives the front rotor in the direction of rotation.
Four phase Cycle engine: intake, compression, power, exhaust.
Two main moving parts. Two rotors and the transmission to the shaft. These rotate alternatively in an unique direction.
Basic configuration. The ARCE has 4 combustion chambers. The admission and the leak is provided by two different windows in each volume that the rotors open and close by cut due to their own advance
Otto Cycle engine. The ARCE has four phases in it's combustion cycle which means it is an Otto Cycle engine. They are intake, compression, power, and exhaust. In contrast with the conventional piston engine, the four phases take place in three contiguous areas of the engine.

The Amell RCE is an Otto Cycle Engine (Four "Stroke")

Advantages

Light weight and compact. The main advantage is the high power to weight ratio.

Fewer moving parts. No valves, connecting rods, timing chains. Intake and exhaust timing are accomplished directly by the motion of the rotors.

Kinetic utilization. The stopped rotor receives the impulse from the explosion between the faces of the rotors and also due to the kinetic energy of the other rotor, transmitted through the gas compression. This permits an important fuel saving.

assuring the sealing of the combustible chamber without significant stress in contrast with the traditional engines.

Lower revolutions. Rotation of the output shaft 360º vs. one cycle of 12 combustions.

New materials. The compact structure of the rotors make possible the construction of this motor with Ceramic material, that provides large advantages in the adjustment of the rotors, by not to have expansion problems and not lubrication is necessary.

Applications: Hybrid Engines, Aeronautical, Nautical, Transportation and Auto motion.

Scalable: N combustion chambers. The number of chambers can be duplicated, tripled, etc.

Realization

Prototype. The construction of a prototype (see video) has allowed us to check the efficiency of mechanical transmission system and the thermal cycle.

NOTE: In this description these elements of transmission and synchronization are omitted.
