Patent Specification and drawing
Description:
According to Douglas Self's page on rotary engines, "...Joseph Turner, who came up with this extraordinary design in 1816. It seems highly unlikely that the doors on which everything depended could be made to open and close without serious steam leakage as they would have to be fully open before the piston arrived, and so partly open for some time before. ... Whether this engine was ever build and tested is currently unknown."
