ABSTRACT:
A combustion engine has a plurality of equidistantly spaced jets disposed about a drive shaft. Fuel flows through the center of a two-piece drive shaft and combines with air in jets for combustion which is self-sustaining once ignited. Each of the jets is designed to accommodate water injection for vaporization to increase the exhaust thrust of the jets. In a further embodiment of the invention, a liquid flywheel comprises a lower tank disposed about a rotating vertically aligned shaft and contains a liquid which rises up tubes connecting the tank to an upper chamber. Fluid accumulating in the upper chamber acts as a momentum stabilizer to increase the efficiency of the engine. Vaporization water may be introduced into each of the plurality of jets disposed about the drive shaft by connecting lines which receive water from a source connected to an annular chamber in the two-piece drive shaft. The entire assembly is housed in a suitable protective material and the bottom of the drive shaft may be splined so as to drive an axle or alternatively, a hydraulic pump. The vertical alignment of the rotating shaft assists in the stabilization of the vehicle during turns.
