This invention is directed to an engine having an external combustion chamber for creating a vapor under high pressure. The vapor under high pressure is introduced to a high pressure cylinder for moving a high pressure piston. The vapor, upon leaving the high pressure cylinder, flows to a low pressure cylinder for moving a low pressure piston. The pistons are attached by connecting rods to a swash plate. The pistons move in a rectilinear movement. The swash plate converts the rectilinear movement to a rotary movement for a rotary output crankshaft. The external combustion chamber can be fueled by air and also by a solid, liquid, or vapor. The solid can be powdered coal. The liquid can be hydro-carbons or an organic material. The vapor can be one of many such as a product of combustion of hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen and oxygen can be burned to produce a high temperature and high pressure steam. The introduction of high pressure vapor into the cylinders and running of the engine is self-timing due to the metering system for metering a liquid such as water to be turned into vapor or hydrogen and oxygen into the pressure chamber for burning and conversion into water. A set amount of liquid or hydrogen and oxygen are introduced and made into steam to be introduced into the high pressure cylinder. There is an introduction of combustible material and vapor which is then released to the high pressure cylinder and this process continues. The metering system is mechanical and self-regulatory. One of the main advantages of this invention is that there are few moving parts and a simple control system for controlling the speed of operation of the engine.
