ABSTRACT:
An energy source for a closed cycle engine including a boiler (10) having a working fluid chamber (12) in heat exchange relation with a reaction chamber (14). A closed flow path loop (16, 34, 36, 38, 44, 46, 52) including a turbine (18) receives working fluid from the fluid chamber, provides a power output and returns the fluid to the chamber. Lithium (80) is reacted with water (70) in the reaction chamber (14) to generate heat for heating the working fluid and hydrogen. Oxygen, obtained by decomposition of sodium superoxide (82) elsewhere in the system, is fed to the reaction chamber (14) and combined with the hydrogen to provide water and additional heat for the working fluid.
