Abstract

The present invention is an apparatus that includes a chamber rotor with a chamber and an extension rotor with an extension. The rotors are housed in a rotor case. A pressure cavity is at least transiently formed by the extension rotor and the chamber rotor. The present invention also includes a compressor that includes a chamber rotor with a chamber and an extension rotor with an extension where the extension is adapted to be received in the chamber when the rotors are synchronously rotated. The compressor also includes a power input shaft attached to the extension rotor and a gear assembly attached to the rotors that is adapted to insure the synchronous rotation of the rotors. A rotor case houses the rotors and has an intake port and an exhaust port. The present invention also includes an engine that is similar to the compressor and includes a spark plug. Methods of compressing, pumping and generating electricity and mechanical power are also part of the present invention.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An apparatus comprising: 
 at least two cooperatively connected non-eccentric devices selected from those comprising at least two non-eccentric engines, at least two non-eccentric compressors, at least one non-eccentric engine and at least one non-eccentric compressor, and at least two non-eccentric pumps, wherein each device comprises: 
 at least one chamber rotor comprising at least one chamber; and  
 at least one extension rotor comprising at least one extension;  
 at least one rotor case that houses the rotors and comprises at least one intake port and at least one exhaust port; and  
 a mechanical linkage attached to the rotors and adapted to ensure synchronous rotation of rotors;  
 wherein the chamber rotors and the extension rotors the chambers and extensions are located on the respective rotors to insure the rotors have non-eccentric motion and a pressure cavity is at least transiently formed by the extension rotor and the chamber rotor.  
   
   
   
       2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the devices comprise at least two non-eccentric engines.  
   
   
       3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein each of the engines comprises at least one ignition device.  
   
   
       4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the cooperatively connected engines have their power output aggregated into a single power output shaft.  
   
   
       5 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the cooperatively connected engines independently delivers power for a single machine.  
   
   
       6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the non-eccentric devices comprise at least two non-eccentric compressors.  
   
   
       7 . The apparatus of  claim 6  further comprising a power input shaft mechanically linking and delivering power to the at least two compressors.  
   
   
       8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the exhaust port of one compressor is fluidly connected to the intake port of another compressor, wherein at least one fluid is compressed by every compressor in series.  
   
   
       9 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the compressors operate in parallel to transfer at least one fluid from a common reservoir.  
   
   
       10 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , further comprising at least one valve fluidly communicating with at least one exhaust port and adapted to insure unidirectional fluid flow.  
   
   
       11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the non-eccentric devices comprise at least one non-eccentric engine and at least one non-eccentric compressor.  
   
   
       12 . The apparatus of  claim 11  further comprising: 
 at least one power input shaft; and    at least one power output shaft;    wherein the power input shaft communicates with the compressor, and the power output shaft communicates with the engine.    
   
   
       13 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , further comprising at least one valve, wherein the exhaust port of the compressor fluidly communicates with the intake port of the engine, and the compressor transfers at least one fluid from the intake port of the compressor to the intake port of the engine.  
   
   
       14 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the exhaust port of an engine fluidly communicates with the intake port of a compressor, and the compressor valves at least one fluid from the exhaust port of the engine to exhaust port of the compressor.  
   
   
       15 . The apparatus of  claim 11  further comprising at least one shaft that mechanically links the engine with the compressor and delivers power from the engine to the compressor.  
   
   
       16 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the non-eccentric devices comprise at least two non-eccentric pumps.  
   
   
       17 . The apparatus of  claim 16  further comprising a power input shaft mechanically linking and delivering power to the at least two pumps.  
   
   
       18 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the exhaust port of one pump is fluidly connected to the intake port of another pump, wherein at least one fluid is pumped by every pump in series.  
   
   
       19 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , wherein the pumps operate in parallel to transfer at least one fluid from a common reservoir.  
   
   
       20 . The apparatus of  claim 17 , further comprising at least one valve fluidly communicating with at least one exhaust port and adapted to insure unidirectional fluid flow.
