ABSTRACT:
A liquid fuel power plant (100) including an open-ended combustion chamber (102) and a first mechanism (110) for delivering a combustible liquid fuel to the combustion chamber (102). A second mechanism (118) is included for delivering compressed air to the combustion chamber (102) to provide a pressurized air-fuel mixture. A third mechanism (130) ignites the pressurized air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber (102) and a fourth mechanism (134) is provided for extending the length of the combustion chamber (102) for decomposing the pressurized air-fuel mixture to provide an exhaust gas comprised of fundamental elements. Finally, a fifth mechanism (142) is provided for using the exhaust gas to perform useful work. The air inlet line (116) delivers compressed air from a turbocharger (118) which is preheated in an air passageway (128) and thereafter mixed with the fuel in the combustion chamber (102). The residue of the combustion is thereafter forced by the compressed air into a spiral-shaped extension (134) which forms a reaction region (138) of the combustion chamber (102). The reaction region (138) becomes sufficiently hot to ensure complete decomposition of the mixture.
