ABSTRACT:
A system for increasing the efficiency of an internal combustion engine by converting the waste energy to drive a turbine. Output power from the turbine is used to supplement the basic power of the engine or to provide power to auxiliary systems such as the electrical generator, compressor type air conditioner, power assist steering mechanism and power assist brakes. In a disclosed embodiment, a thermostatically actuated valve is responsive to heat build-up in the engine to direct a stream of water on a water based liquid from a reserve tank into a steam generating chamber utilizing the waste heat of the engine where it is converted to high pressure steam which drives a turbine. The turbine shaft is mechanically coupled to supplement the power of the engine and/or to provide power to one or more of the auxiliary systems mentioned above through a series of jackshaft attachments.
