Context

Country: Unknown
State/Province: Unknown
Period: Prototype
Canada: Invented and built by Cnd. Samuel Baylin. Samuel Baylin was born in Russia and came to Canada in 1924. He came up with the idea of the rotary engine because he was concerned about the environmental impacts of general internal combustion engines. It appears that Mr. Baylin developed his engine prior to Felix Wankel (German engineer credited with rotary engine) taking out his patent.
Function: Working prototype rotary engine. Has three moving parts and two pistons which rotate a half revolution apart giving two explosions per revolution. Combustion of fuel occurs with oxidizer in the combustion chamber and the expansion of the produced gases directly applies forces to a moveable component.
Technical: Extremely small, light internal-combustion rotary engine. Similar to Wankel with triochoidal combustion chamber, engine incorporates only 3 moving parts: combustion, driving & gate rotors. All reciprocating parts are eliminated; all power producing parts rotate axially, thereby eliminating inertia; because of its peripheral axial nature it uses less fuel, & uses it more efficiently; the Baylin engine also produces less pollutants.
