ABSTRACT:
A hybrid steam engine device which has a rotor fixed between two end plates with rotor shaft bearings which allow the rotor to move freely about its axis. A pair of guide bars rigidly connect one end plate to the other. A fixed piston pairs are rigidly attached to each end plate. A multiplicity of hollow cylinders are mounted to allow simultaneous closure of each cylinder end by one pair of pistons, with a septum plate mounted approximately half-way along the interior of each cylinder providing compression for one piston at the same time that expansion is provided for the opposing piston. A compressor piston has two valves. An intake check valve provides fresh air into the compressor side of the cylinder during expansion and the compressor check valve provides entry of compressed air to a retort, where combustion and conversion to steam occurs. The power piston also has two valves. A power check valve provides for the entry of gases produced by combustion and steam. The exhaust check valve provides for the exit of these gases and steam into a condenser, which recovers water for reintroduction into the boiler.
