Power-producing apparatus and method

摘要

A primary reciprocating engine is combined with a secondary turbine engine. The turbine engine utilizes the exhaust of the reciprocating engine as fuel, resulting in an increase in efficiency and reduction in emissions over a conventional reciprocating engine alone. The secondary turbine engine powers secondary functions of the reciprocating engine, such as relieving the back pressure at the exhaust ports, driving the turbocharger that pressurizes the air intake, and driving an electrical generator. Oxyhydrogen (HHO) used to ignite the reciprocating engine exhaust and complete combustion of the reciprocating engine fuel is obtained by disassociating distilled water into hydrogen and oxygen using the electricity from the electrical generator.

主权项

1. An apparatus for producing electrical or mechanical power, the apparatus comprising:
a. a chemical energy conversion apparatus, said chemical energy conversion apparatus being configured to combust a fuel and to generate a product of combustion of said fuel; b. a turbine engine having a turbine compressor, a combustion chamber and a power turbine, said turbine compressor and said chemical energy conversion apparatus having a configuration such that said product of combustion from said energy conversion apparatus is sucked by said turbine compressor from said energy conversion apparatus and compressed for combustion in said combustion chamber when said chemical energy conversion apparatus and said turbine engine are in operation, said combustion chamber being configured to combust a turbine engine fuel, said turbine engine fuel comprising said product of combustion, said combustion chamber being in fluid communication with said power turbine, said power turbine being configured for rotation in response to combustion of said turbine engine fuel in said combustion chamber, said power turbine being configured to power said turbine compressor.
