A rotary piston heat engine consisting of a mechanism based on a lever anchored to the periphery of a crankcase formed by two shells coupled to one another, by means of a shaft (3) located at one of the ends thereof, which enables it to pivot on the same, with an intermediate grooved portion, along which the rod of a crankshaft slides and which, with the other end, acts on a piston coupled by means of a connecting rod. The rotation of the crankcase (1) on the crankshaft (8) induces the displacement of the piston (5) coupled to the lever (2) by means of the connecting rod (4) inside the cylinder (6), the gas being compressed inside this chamber and initiating the cycle of an internal combustion engine. The shaft of the crankshaft may be blocked, thus impeding its rotation, or coupled to a single direction clutch. The basic assembly of this engine is formed by a block of two cylinders coupled to the crankcase and a crankshaft of two rods located at 180°, which act on two symmetrical levers that move both pistons.
