STF-001 8G5 ABSTRACT A rotary internal combustion engine including a housing; a first vane mounted for rotation in the housing on a fixed axis; a second vane mounted for rotation in the housing on the fixed axis independently of the first vane; a separate ratchet mechanism respectively engaging the first and second vanes to preclude rotation of the vanes in one direction about the axis while allowing free rotation in the other direction; and a converter mechanism, including an output shaft, drivingly connected to the vanes and operative to convert the rotation of the vanes into a unidirectional, constant speed rotation of the output shaft of the converter means. In one disclosed embodiment, the converter means comprises a differential gear assembly in which the vanes are coupled to different pinions in a differential gear assembly and the pinions coact in known differential gear manner to rotate the output shaft of the differential gear assembly in a unidirectional, constant speed manner. In other disclosed embodiments, the converter means comprises a pneumatic coupling, a hydraulic coupling, and a hydraulic differential coupling.
