Claim.—1. A rotary engine of the character described to be used with either steam or gasolene, having a base, a casing mounted thereon, a shaft mounted in said casing, a plurality of wheels mounted on said shaft, an explosion chamber, a leaf to close said chamber, an air inlet valve, a passage and valves to operate same, an exhaust leading from said passage said passage being situated to lead into said explosion chamber having a cam-shaped valve to operate the entrance and a suitable valve to operate the exhaust, said cam-shaped valve being adapted to turn so as to open or close said passage at the proper time and adapted to close the entrance of said passage when the said exhaust is open, and close the entrance of said exhaust when the said passage is open.

2. A rotary engine of the character described to be used with either steam or gasolene, having a base, a casing mounted thereon, a shaft mounted in said casing, a plurality of wheels mounted on said shaft, an explosion chamber, a leaf to close said chamber, an air inlet valve, a passage and valves to operate same, an exhaust leading from said passage, an air inlet valve comprising of a casing, a rod mounted in said casing having a suitable washer at one end and a spring means at the other for keeping said washer in close relation to the said casing, and suitable holes in said casing for the free passage of air into the same.

3. A rotary engine of the character described to be used with either steam or gasolene, having a base, a casing mounted thereon, a shaft mounted in said casing, a plurality of wheels mounted on said shaft, an explosion chamber, a leaf to close said chamber, an air inlet valve, a passage and valves to operate same an exhaust leading from said passage, an explosion chamber mounted on the upper extremity of the casing having a hingedly mounted leaf to operate the opening of same, said leaf having a large end to close said passage, and a locking means to hold said leaf in locked position and release the same.

4. A rotary engine of the character described, to be used with either steam or gasolene, having a base, a casing mounted thereon, a shaft mounted in said casing, a plurality of wheels mounted on said shaft, an explosion chamber, a leaf to close said chamber, an air inlet valve, a passage and valves to operate same an exhaust leading from said pass-age, a plurality of wheels mounted upon said shaft said wheels having U-shaped outer rims said U-shaped outer rims being adapted to hold a tapered piece within the arms of said U-shaped rim said tapered piece being large at one end to form a head and tapering small to the other, and a compression leaf mounted within said U-shaped rim.

5. A rotary engine of the character described to be used with either steam or gasolene, having a base, a casing mounted thereon, a shaft mounted in said casing, a plurality of wheels mounted on said shaft, an explosion chamber, a leaf to close said chamber, an air inlet valve, a passage and valves to operate same, an exhaust leading from said passage, a base having suitable uprights and clamped together, said casing having an inner and outer casing adapted to be held apart by suitable lugs for the passage of a cooling solution.

6. A rotary engine comprising a base, a casing, a shaft, a plurality of wheels mounted upon said shaft, said wheels having a U-shaped rim, a tapered piece mounted within said rim, a compression leaf hingedly connected to said casing and adapted to have its opposite end sit on said tapered piece to cause proper direction of gas and air, and rings mounted upon the arms of said U-shaped piece adapted to prevent the leakage of gas.
