An internal combustion engine includes a chamber (12) and a flexible dividing member (18) secured to wall of the chamber and dividing the chamber into a first chamber portion (14) having a variable volume and a second chamber portion (16) having a variable volume. The engine has inlet valving (20, 22) to admit constituents of a combustible mixture into the first chamber portion for combustion therein to provide a pressure increase to cause flexing of the flexible dividing member to reduce the volume of the second chamber portion to force a liquid from the second chamber portion as an energy output of the chamber. The engine has input valving (98) to admit an aqueous fluid into the first chamber portion to provide an aqueous fluid supply in the first chamber portion to protect the flexible dividing member. |
