Description:

Claim:

In an explosive-engine, a cylinder provided with a central exhaust-port, a reciprocating oscillating piston arranged within the cylinder and provided with diametric ports com municating with longitudinal passages extending to each end of said piston, a radial wing secured to the piston, a box-valve inclosing the radial wing, and provided with a port on each side, a valve seat or box inclosing the valve-box and provided on each side with an explosive-chamber and ports leading from each chamber to the valve-box, means for introducing air and hydrocarbon into the explosion-chambers and alternately exploding the same, and means for transmitting the reciprocating and oscillating movements of the piston to the rotary driving-shaft, substantially as hereinbefore set forth. i0 2. In an explosive-engine having a reciprocating and oscillating piston confined in a cylinder and provided with a radial inclosed wing, suitable ports leading to each side of the wing and each head of the piston, explosion-chambers each side of the inclosed wing and communicating through ports with each side of the wing, air and hydrocarbon chambers communicating with the explosion-chambers, valves between the said air and hydrocarbon chambers and the explosion-chambers, air and hydrocarbon tanks and supply-pipes communicating with their respective chambers, means for automatically controlling the supply of air and hydrocarbon to their respective chambers and delivering the same to the explosion-chambers, radial shafts extending from the piston and mechanism connected with said shafts for operating the supply devices and exploding the gases in the explosion-chambers.
