ABSTRACT:
An atmospheric latent heat engine has a passageway extending from a converging entrance nozzle upward to an exit at a substantially higher elevation. Turbo generators, arranged within the passageway, can be powered to start up an air flow through the passageway; condensate is removed downstream of the nozzle; and a boiler injects warm water vapor into the air mixture before it rises in the elevator. Once a design flow state is established, by cooperation of the turbo generators and the boiler, the turbo generators can be switched to output work derived from the air flow and the vapor expansion.
