ABSTRACT:
A Gas Energized Engine System, according to the present invention, is adapted to drive a piston type gas energized engine having a piston and cylinder system that is operatively interconnected with a crankshaft that transmits rotary force to any suitable load. The piston type engine is provided with gas intake and exhaust systems. The gas intake system is interconnected with a gas supply system having a high pressure supply vessel and an operating pressure supply vessel that are interconnected by a pressure regulator. A converter system which is an engine and compressor system that is separate from the gas energized engine, and has a gas inlet that receives the exhaust of the gas exhaust system of the engine and functions to compress the exhaust gas to a high pressure and communicate the high pressure to the high pressure vessel of the gas supply system and to modify the exhaust atmosphere of the gas energized engine. The converter system is energized by gas transmitted thereto by the operating pressure gas supply. The converter system is driven by a plurality of linear hydraulic motors that are interconnected to a common crankshaft along with a plurality of linear hydraulic compressors of the converter system. The linear hydraulic motors are actuated in response to a valving system that is energized in response to crankshaft movement. The gas energized engine system is a substantially closed loop system with energy losses due to seal leakage, friction losses and the like being continuously replenished.
