ABSTRACT:
The liquid metal sodium-potassium alloy called NaK reacts with water and air to release energy and to form hydroxides of NaK. The hydroxides are transported in solution by pipeline to be regenerated to NaK metal by electrolysis, the NaK metal being transported by a second pipeline to be dispensed to automobiles. The present invention is an internal combustion engine based on an explosive reaction of NaK and water sprays in the presence of air. A two cycle piston engine with NaK and water injected near maximum compression is preferred.
