<p>A method for operating a piston engine without combusting fuel, the engine includes: a cylinder having an upper and lower chamber separated by a partition including an opening with a valve, a first supply means for supplying air into at least one of the chambers; and a second supply means for supplying at least one of water vapour and Hydrogen into the lower chamber; the method including: (i) supplying air into at least one of the chambers; (ii) compressing the air into the upper chamber, and closing the valve to temporarily store the heated air; (iii) supplying at least one of water vapour and Hydrogen into the lower chamber; (iv) opening the valve when the lower chamber is at a minimum volume wherein, the heated air is released into the lower chamber, causing the water vapour and/or Hydrogen to expand and force outward movement of the piston from the cylinder.</p> |
