ABSTRACT:
The present invention entails a combustion type engine of the internal reciprocally mounted piston type. Formed adjacent the conventional combustion pistons and communicatively open thereto are a series of steam pistons reciprocally mounted in alignment in face-to-face relationship with said combustion pistons. A steam generator is provided and utilizes engine exhaust heat to produce steam that is directed to the cylinders having said steam pistons reciprocally mounted for driving the same in time relationship to the reciprocal movement of said combustion pistons. Essentially the steam pistons are driven such that they assist in driving the combustion pistons by exerting a force against the combustion pistons during the ignition or combustion stroke of the combustion pistons.
