ROCKET POWER-GENERATING ENGINE, ROCKET POWER-GENERATING FAN ENGINE, AND OPERATING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a hydrogen-fueled engine suitable for an aircraft engine which did not exist before as conventional aircraft jet engines use petroleum fossil fuel and discharge air pollutants and carbon dioxide and there is an issue of depletion of oil. SOLUTION: A turbine 15 which operates by a jet flow by the combustion inside a liquid hydrogen-fueled rocket engine 14 is installed. A turbine shaft 16 that is connected to the turbine 15 is penetrated through a hole 33 installed at a combustion chamber 17 of the liquid hydrogen-fueled rocket engine 14 by a drilling work and a power generator 18 which generates power by the rotation of the turbine 15 and the turbine shaft 16 is installed anterior to and outside of the combustion chamber 17. Water inside a water electrolysis apparatus 19 is decomposed by electricity generated by the power generator 18. Hydrogen and oxygen obtained by the water electrolysis apparatus 19 are liquefied and stored by a liquefier and a storing tank 20 and supplied as the fuel for the liquid hydrogen-fueled rocket engine 14 and an oxidant of liquefied hydrogen.
