To reduce the losses of a conventional reciprocating piston engine and to facilitate easy cooling, a new type of engine is conceptualized here. This invention deals with a new concept to make an engine to utilize easy sealing, easy cooling properties of the reciprocating piston engine and low vibration, low losses properties of rotary piston engine. In this engine, pairs of revolving pistons, consisting of one piston and one cylinder head, revolve within a ring cylinder, around an axis in same direction but with different velocities. It is more appropriate to call the present concept engine as a "revolving piston engine". These types of engines can be used in automobiles, aero industries, battlefield tanks, power-generation and in many other applications. The same concept can be used to develop a revolving piston compressor with appropriately designing and relocating the ports or valves for the intake and outlet.
