A nutating disc engine is a type of internal combustion engine that utilizes a nutating or oscillating disc to convert energy from combustion into mechanical work. Unlike a conventional piston engine that uses cylinder and piston arrangements, the nutating disc engine employs a disc that moves in a circular or elliptical motion within a housing. This motion is often designed to convert the pressure from combustion gases into rotational movement, which can then be harnessed to drive a crankshaft or other mechanical components.
