A rotary power unit (10), comprising a housing (22) having a circular opening (24) and a plurality of bores (28) extending along a radial axis from a center of the opening (24), a nodular rotor (52) mounted within the opening (24) of the housing (22) and coaxially rotatable within the opening (24). The nodular rotor (52) comprises a plurality of nodes (58) equally distributed along the bounding circle thereof and the number of nodes (58) is an odd integer less than the number of bores (28) in the housing (22). A plurality of replaceable cylinder modules (70) are fixedly receivable within a respective bore (28) within the housing (22). Each cylinder module (70) comprises a piston (72) slidable within a cylinder (74), a piston actuating member (78) associated with each piston (72) and a work unit associated with a cylinder head (88) at a distal end the cylinder (74). Each piston (72) is displaceable along the radial axis between a Top Dead Center (TDC) and a Bottom Dead Center (BDC), the piston (72) being biased into the BDC. The nodular rotor (52) is fitted with a radial thrust reducing arrangement (60) for engagement with respective piston actuating members (78).

L'invention concerne un bloc moteur rotatif (10) qui comprend un boîtier (22) comportant une ouverture circulaire (24) et plusieurs trous (28) qui s'étendent le long d'un axe radial depuis le centre de l'ouverture (24), un rotor à noeuds (52) monté dans l'ouverture (24) du boîtier (22) et tournant coaxialement à l'intérieur de cette ouverture (24). Le rotor à noeuds (52) comprend plusieurs noeuds (58) uniformément répartis de le long du cercle de limitation du rotor, le nombre des noeuds (58) étant un entier impair inférieur au nombre des trous (28) dans le boîtier (22). Plusieurs modules de cylindres remplaçables (70) se fixent à l'intérieur des trous respectifs (28) dans le boîtier (22). Chaque module de cylindre (70) comprend un piston (72) coulissant à l'intérieur du cylindre (74), un élément d'actionnement de piston (78) associé à chaque piston (72) et une unité de travail associée à une tête de cylindre (88) à l'extrémité distale du cylindre (74). Chaque piston (72) suit un axe radial entre un point mort haut (PMH) et un point mort bas (PMB), le piston (72) étant sollicité vers le PMB. Le rotor à noeuds (52) est pourvu d'un dispositif de réduction de poussée radiale (60) qui entre en prise avec les éléments d'actionnement de piston correspondants (78).
