Disclosed is an engine, preferably of the diesel type, operating in a closed cycle system in which there is generated a mixture of gaseous oxygen and water vapor for its "breathing." The generation of this mixture uses the engine exhaust products, which comprises mainly, carbon dioxide, oxygen and water vapor. This synthetic "air" combusts with the diesel fuel to drive, for instance, an electrical generator. The system incorporates units connected to the engine exhaust which employ the carbon dioxide to produce new oxygen, condense the water vapor and recycle the unused oxygen, and a further provision for control of the oxygen production.
