A fluid-driven power plant includes a motor and a combustion energy input device combined in a closed, pressurized system. A balanced cylinder provides variable low pressure fluid storage within the system and also operates the compression stroke of the combustion device. A compression acceleration cylinder in direct fluid communication with the accumulator assists in the compression stroke allowing the balance cylinder to be operated at a lower pressure. An opposed combustion piston configuration balances the forces within the system. A device for monitoring the speed of the combustion pistons allows for compensation for misfires and variations in the heating value of fuel. Apparatus is provided to adjust the sensitivity of the power demand controls and to anticipate a future demand for high power output.
