ABSTRACT:
A high pressure internal combustion steam power unit employing gaseous hydrogen and oxygen as fuels and having water injected as a coolant and source of steam. A mounting frame securing the unit to either a fixed or mobile mount. The frame supports a power output shaft formed integrally with a cylindrically shaped combustion chamber. The combustion chamber and shaft rotate within the frame. A single bearing at the forward end of the frame supports the power output shaft and combustion chamber. Oxygen, hydrogen, and water are introduced into the interior of the combustion chamber through a non-rotating multiple nozzle passage which projects into the combustion chamber at its after end. Propulsion pods located on the periphery of the combustion chamber receive the combustion products and steam from the combustion chamber via internal passages. Nozzle slots in the propulsion pods release the steam to the atmosphere so as to cause rotation of the combustion chamber and the power output shaft.
