ABSTRACT:
A low or no pollution engine is provided for delivering power for vehicles or other power applications. The engine has an air inlet which collects air from a surrounding environment. The air is compressed through multiple stages of compression with intercoolers between the compressors. The air is then purged of any constituents which have a relatively high freezing point in a scrubber and then expanded in a turboexpander which causes the air to be cooled down to near air liquifaction temperatures. The air is then passed through a rectifier, where nitrogen is removed from the air. The remaining air is substantially entirely oxygen, which is then compressed and routed to a gas generator. The gas generator has an igniter and inputs for the high pressure oxygen and a high pressure hydrogen containing fuel, such as hydrogen or methane. The fuel and oxygen are combusted within the gas generator, forming water and possibly carbon dioxide. Water is also delivered into the gas generator to control a temperature of the combustion products. The combustion products are then expanded through a power generating device, such as a turbine or piston expander to deliver output power for operation of a vehicle or other power uses. The combustion products, steam and carbon dioxide, are then passed through a condenser where the steam is condensed and the carbon dioxide is collected or discharged. A portion of the water is discharged into the surrounding environment and the remainder is routed back to the gas generator.
