Between twoannular bodies 8 of the rotor is crankshaft middle mounting plate that comprises output shaftarm mounting plate 43 and its cover 44 (detail ofplate 43 and itscover 44 are shown in FIG.11). Theoutput shaft 3 is rotably mounted and extend through the casing by sleeve bearing mounted in theend plates - The axis of
output shaft 3 and the axis of rotor are the same axis (or concentric) and rotate together. - As shown in FIG.14, a crankshaft-
mounting arm 56 is fixedly secured on theoutput shaft 3 for bodily rotation with it. A crankshaft-mounting arm 56 includes bearinghousing piston chamber bases 27 inside annular body ofrotor 8. Each piston chamber axially extends to the outer surface of annular bodies ofrotor 8, and wrapped by itscylindrical shape valve 7. In FIG.10,seal 42 is inserted in rotorannular bodies 8 to protect lube oil leak fromcylindrical shape valve 7. Axis of each piston chamber is preferably uniformly spaced from output shaft axis in the direction of rotor rotation. Thecylindrical shape valve 7 is slightly movable along the axis of its piston chamber. The curved end of the valve is pressed with inner cylindrical surface of outer cylinder ofcasing 15 bycoil springs 31 to fluid tight. As shown in FIG.6, thecoil springs 31 is seated inspring stem 32 that mounted onpiston chamber bases 27 and lower end ofcylindrical shape valve 7 to prevent cylindrical valve from moving. At the outer surface ofpiston chamber base 27 has ring-seal 28 covered to prevent lube oil leak fromcylindrical valve 7.Key 29 with spring is mounted inkeyway cylindrical shape valve 7 respectively.

Apiston 6, normally of cylindrical shape similar to conventional construction, is reciprocating in each piston chamber. A piston rod is pivotally connected to eachpiston 6 and rotatively connected to its corresponding crank ofcrankshaft 5 by bearing 54. The fluid motor has two motor blocks, the first and the second block, and each block has two pistons. The first motor block,piston chamber bases 27 are fixedly secured on crankshaftfront mounting plate 9 and cover of output shaftarm mounting plate 44. The second motor block,piston chamber bases 27 are fixedly secured on crankshaftrear mounting plate 10 and output shaftarm mounting plate 43. - FIG.4, between front end plate of

output shaft 3 and both of thecrankshafts 5. As shown in FIG.5, the drive train includes an annular gear-carryingcap 22 indrive train chamber 12. Thedrive train chamber 12 is between rear end plate ofcasing 11 and crankshaftrear mounting plate 10. A sleeve carry the output shaft is formed at the center of annular gear-carryingcap 22 with one end of this sleeve fixedly secured to rear end plate ofcasing 11.

The drive train shall specify the gear teeth ratio of annular gear to pinion gear to be appropriate to rotary fluid motor efficiency preferably twice the number of pistons in each motor block. For example, in a typical two-piston rotary pressurizing motor the gear teeth ration of annular gear to pinion gear shall be 4:1 so that when the output shaft rotates one round clockwise, the crankshafts will rotate four rounds. Similarly, the gear teeth ration of 3, 4, 6, 8 pistons rotary pressurizing motor shall be 6:1, 8:1, 12:1 and 16:1 respectively. - As
output shaft 3 andcrankshafts 5 concurrently rotate, thepistons 6 reciprocate in their piston chamber due to the rotation ofcrankshaft 5. The reciprocation of the pistons is synchronized to receive pressured-fluid through inlet-port 1 (inlet-stroke) and discharge from outlet-port 2 (outlet-stroke). - As an example, operation sequence of the rotary pressurizing motor as shown in FIG. 15 and FIG. 16 illustrates two sets piston of motor block. Each block comprises two-pistons.
- During inlet-stroke of the first motor block (Fig. 15
position position - Outlet-stroke of the first motor block (Fig.16
position 63, 64) occurs when piston chamber No. 1 & 2 continues moving around the output shaft while the crankshaft drives piston No. 1 & 2 move up to discharge fluid. At the same time the second motor block is operating in inlet-stroke (Fig.16position 65, 66). - Piston chamber No.1 and No.2 make the first motor block while piston chamber No.3 and No.4 make the second piston chamber set. The movement of each pair of piston must be balanced in order to maximize the output-power. However, this does not limit variation of the invention. Depending on the capacity required, the rotary pressurizing motor might comprise a plurality of motor block preferably. Again, one motor block may comprise a plurality of pistons and piston chambers preferably at least two for the same requirement for balancing. Moreover, the inlet stroke of each piston will substantially twice to no. of piston in each motor block that are six, eight, twelve and sixteen for 3, 4, 6, 8 pistons motor block.
