ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a steam engine which is used to propel underwater vehicles without exhausting combustion products to the surrounding water. A solid metallic fuel reacts in a first chamber with water to produce hydrogen which is subsequently reacted in a second chamber with oxygen to produce heat and water. The amount of water produced in the second chamber is equal to the amount of water used in the first chamber. Consequently, no excess water is produced.
