Rotary Piston Machines (RPM) are a new class of machines for transforming stored chemical or physical energy into rotary motion or, vice versa, to use rotary motion to produce pressure or a vacuum concerning compressors or pumps. This new class of machines uses completely new principles of piston motion and of transmitting work from the piston to the driven shaft or from the drive shaft to the piston. Compared to conventional reciprocating piston aggregates, RPM technology holds out the promise of a greater power density and a concomitant increase in efficiency. An additional reduction of the constructed space and the total weight is an outcome of this. At the same time the longevity of the machine is increasing due to a reduction in the use of fixed and movable components. Therefore, the manufacturing and maintenance costs are reduced in general. Based on this new machine technology a focused combustion process of fuel can be carried out, this in turn is reflected in the quality and quantity of the exhaust gases and pollutant emissions.
