I continue to suggest to your reflection on bizarre mechanics until they prove their value. Now it is the turn of this motor composed of an off-axis star rotor rotating inside a driven crown, and rotating simultaneously. In fact, if I understood correctly, it is driven by the rotor itself. The set is composed of 2 identical mechanics coupled on the same shaft. One serving as an air compressor (suction and injection), the other as an over-compression, expansion, and gas expulsion chamber. Between the 2, there is a burner which receives the compressed air plus the fuel which ignites before being injected into the expansion chamber where they cause the thrust to animate the whole. This is apparently the principle of the turbo-propeller hijacked in a variable volume mechanism.

It too can work with a range of gaseous or liquid fuels and it seems a great economy, But if prototypes have been assembled all the results announced is a hope of the manufacturers! : Unsure:
