<p>A positive displacement, constant pressure Brayton cycle engine (40) including a compressor (42), a combustion chamber (46), a motor (44) and means for operating the engine in a substantially constant pressure Brayton cycle including means for continuously heating the gas in the combustion chamber (46) at constant pressure and means for feeding a continuous stream of hot, compressed gas at constant pressure solely to the motor (44). Preferably one or both of the compressor (42) and motor (44) are positive displacement rotary sliding vane devices. The engine (40) can be operated with an intermittent hot-cool operating cycle and with various throttle control systems. </p> |
