An engine includes an elongated shaft, a housing mounted about the shaft with the shaft being rotatable relative to the housing about the shaft longitudinal axis, a conduit fixed to the shaft within the housing filled with an inert motive liquid and nozzles for inducing combustible gas bubbles in the motive liquid. The conduit has a compression section extending generally radially from the shaft, a combustion section extending generally axially and parallel to the shaft and from the compression section at a radial distance from the shaft, and an expansion section extending from an end of the combustion section remote from the compression section. The bubble nozzles are located before the inlet of the compression section.
