ABSTRACT:
An internal combustion propulsion engine comprises a spherical engine body having radially projecting exhaust nozzle extending from its surface. The spherical engine body is adjustably supported in a complementarily mating socket for unrestricted positioning of the body, for selectively directing the flow of combustion gases emanating from the exhaust nozzle and thus channeling the direction of thrust generated thereby as required. A convergently conical valve member is mounted on the rod of a piston cylinder coaxially with the corresponding divergently conical opening of the exhaust nozzle, the valve member being positioned adjustably projecting into the outlet end of the complementarily mating exhaust opening in direct confrontation with the combustion gases flowing therefrom. Means for positioning the valve member to regulate the distance between valve member and exhaust opening walls are provided to adjust selectively the rate of exhaust flow and thus the magnitude of thrust force developed.
