ABSTRACT:
Each cylinder of an internal combustion engine is provided with a reciprocative piston and a combustible fuel intake port controlled by an intake valve. A steam generation chamber communicates with the cylinder through a steam inlet port controlled by a steam inlet valve which is opened by steam pressure in the generation chamber. The generation chamber also communicates with a combustible fuel exhaust pipe through a combustible fuel exhaust port controlled by a fuel exhaust valve the opening of which is also accompanied by opening of the steam inlet valve. The steam generation chamber also communicates through a water injection valve and, preferably, a heat exchanger associated with the exhaust pipe, with a source of water under super-atmospheric pressure. A steam exhaust port, controlled by a steam exhaust valve, also communicates the cylinder with a steam condenser the outlet of which communicates with a supply reservoir for the water source.
