ABSTRACT:
A productive, efficient and environmentally friendly Steam Powered Head Device for integral use with an engine which operates at high RPM. The inventive device includes a head block with integral cylindrical rotating valve through a longitudinal cylindrical aperture in the head block. A high temperature seal bearing is circumferentially pressed fit around the cylindrical rotating valve at each end of the aperture within said head block. The head block and cylindrical rotating valve include intake steam ports and larger exhaust steam ports to allow rapid discharge of steam which are aligned and sequentially arranged through the axis of the cam shaft according to the degrees recommended by the manufacturer of the high RPM engine to which the inventive device is adapted. One intake steam port and one exhaust steam port is typically aligned to each cylinder chamber of the high RPM engine to which the inventive device is adapted. The cylindrical rotating valve includes an extended portion outside the head block with an integral keyway to secure a sprocket or pulley to maintain a 2 to 1 ratio with the high RPM engine crankshaft thereby providing high RPM in the engine. Additional sprocket or pulleys may be secured to the extended portion of said cylindrical rotating valve to drive other engine components such as an air conditioning compressor or an alternator. The head block and cylindrical rotating valve are typically made from non-corrosive material such as stainless steel, brass or aluminum. In addition to replacing gasoline or diesel as a means to power an engine, a Steam Powered Head Device for High RPM Engines eliminates the need to lubricate an engine with oil. A liquid propane gas-fired boiler system can be used to generate the steam.
