  A Player's Guide to Rotary Valve Trumpets
We have also been importing rotary valve trumpets from several European makers such as Monke and Ganter for professional orchestral players wishing to use these instruments in their work, although we have until recently been somewhat apologetic for the high prices and variable quality which seemed to be characteristic of these instruments.
For example, rotary valve trumpets have much larger and heavier bells, have less conical and therefore more cylindrical tuning, have a larger bore mouthpipe, and are often made of gold brass rather than the yellow brass used for most piston trumpets.
The acoustical design of rotary valve trumpets is such that the pitch center of the tone on these instruments is broader and more flexible than on a piston valve trumpet, where the notes tend to "lock-in" more rigidly.

  Rotary valve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A rotary valve is a type of valve in which the rotation of a passage or passages in a transverse plug regulates the flow of fluid through the attached pipes.
Rotary valves have been applied in numerous applications, ranging from changing the pitch of brass instruments to controlling the steam and exhaust ports of steam engines (most notably in the Corliss engine).
In the context of brass instruments, rotary valves are usually found on French horns, and sometimes on other brasses; many European classical trumpet players tend to favor rotary valves, as do some tuba players.

 Divided rotary valve feeder - Patent 4536121
The rotary valve feeder of claim 1 wherein the compartments of the troughs are in circumferential alignment with one another, thereby defining a plurality of annuli of compartments, each annulus of compartments being in communication with one of said channels.
The rotary valve feeder of claim 14 wherein the discharge assisting means further includes a flexible member in each compartment, positioned between the port and the material, the flexible member defining with the compartment a gas space, whereby the compressed gas flexes the flexible member to assist the discharge of the material.
Rotary valve feeders are commonly used to convey particulate material from a supply source to an area of use, especially where the area of use is pressurized and its atmosphere is at a higher pressure than the ambient pressure of the source.

 Early Valve Designs
The second valve design which was widely used in Germany was the rotary valve, produced as early as 1824 by Nathan Adams (1783-1864) of Boston [Eliason, 91] and patented in 1835 by Riedl [Dahlqvist, 118.
Although rotary valves are difficult to disassemble for maintenance, this type of valve was to become the standard design used on horns in Germany by the late nineteenth century [Carse, ibid].
Périnet piston and rotary valves offered the quickest action and were the most efficient in their overall design; for these reasons they are still widely used today.

Rotary valve manufacturers have developed live-loaded packing designs, which are almost equal to linear valves with a bellows gland.
To optimize valve selection, the size to choose should have a valve opening that under normal conditions should be somewhere in the range from 60 percent to 80 percent open.
This type of valve characterizes itself by a torturous flow path, and some call it a low recovery valve because some of the energy in the flow stream is dissipated.

 Welcome to Coates International Ltd.
This caused the poppet valves and combustion chamber on poppet valve engines to overheat, raising the temperature to in excess of 2500 degrees F and damaging the poppet valves.
At higher RPMs the poppet valve tends to float or bounce and is unable to service the cylinder and chamber to capacity with air and fuel mixture.
Because the valves rotate away from the combustion chamber and are vented and charged on the opposite side of each sphere, this creates a lower combustion chamber temperature, allowing for higher compression ratios to be used thus creating an extremely efficient engine.

All rotary control valves modify the flow of the fluid that passes through the varying flow opening (orifice) as the valve closure element (ball, plug, disk) rotates in response to a control signal.
The ability of a ball valve to handle pressure drop is largely dependent upon the support of the throttling member, the bearing sizes and locations, and the sealing member design.
When standard rotary valves are not adequate for control service because of flow characteristics, pressure drop, or even material compatibility, some manufacturers offer specially engineered versions of their valves to satisfy special requirements.

The key to the rotary valve is a torsion bar.
As the bar twists, it rotates the inside of the spool valve relative to the outside.
Since the inner part of the spool valve is also connected to the steering shaft (and therefore to the steering wheel), the amount of rotation between the inner and outer parts of the spool valve depends on how much torque the driver applies to the steering wheel.

Conventional valve pressure control makes the line pressure energy to be dissipated in heat on the low pressure side of the valve, which overheat the low pressure steam and required some cooling device generally not recovering this energy (often megawatts).
Substantial heat is now given to conventional expansion valve in pure lost, while heat given to the gas at the intake of a rotary expander is essentially all recovered in mechanical energy or electricity.
The Quasiturbine rotary expander allows for individual chambers to expand at a variable reduced pressure during expansion, and therefore reduces the transformation of the gas' kinetic energy into destructive heat.

 Halfbakery: Rotary Valve Engine
The "valve shaft" or "rotary valve" would allow for extremely high rpm's without the risk to the pistons that are created when a spring looses it's performance traits.
An additional aspect to this is the ability to change the "valves" of an engine with the removing of a cover plate on the side, removing the old valve shaft, and replacing with a new one (checking the index for timing).
The thought is that an engine could be built with relatively large openings for these valve notches (thus allowing larger amounts of fuel into the engine, increasing hp.), and with a few minutes of modification (replacing the valve shaft), taking the car from "wild" to "mild" for city driving and better gas mileage.
