Abstract

A piston of an engine is powered by combustion of a fuel and heat is transferred from the products of combustion to gas evaporated from a source of liquid gas. The liquified gas may be LNG which is subsequently used in an internal combustion engine or an inert gas or air which is subsequently expanded in a piston engine or a turbine.

Description

SPECIFICATION Method whereby the use of liquid gases produce power in relation to the use of a turbine, piston, conventional internal combustion engines, gas turbine or jet engines.
STATEMENT AND DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION A method whereby the use of liquid gases to produce power either in the principle of a steam engine in the form of turbine or piston or a conventional internal combustion engine and also a gas turbine or jet engine.
LIQUID GASES The temperature of liquid gases being lower than they are normally over the planet surface.
The liquid gas can be stored in a smaller space providing it is at a very low temperature. This is because the molecules of the gas are much closer together when they are in liquid form at low temperature, and as long as the temperature remains low, the gas does not expand.
THE METHOD The method whereby a steam engine principle is used or a steam turbine, a liquefied inert gas is used. The gas is contained in a vaccuum sealed container and is then passed through a heat exchanger to either a piston or turbine engine in the same way as the steam engine. In the case of a normal internal combustion engine using a flammable gas passed from a container, through a heat exchanger to the internal combustion engine.
In the case of a gas turbine or jet engine, the gas is passed from a container into a heat exchanger and onto the engine.
The principle of this method is the use of natural gases such as, Methane, or similar gas which are flammable and in abundance, can be usefully stored in a small container then expanded through a heat exchanger and then put into use in an internal combustion engine, or gas turbine and jet engine.
The use of an inert liquified gas such as Nitrogen using a small container for the gas storage, passed through a heat exchanger using normal atmospheric temperature creates expansion of the gas which can be used in the same principle as a steam engine or steam turbine.
1. A method of operating a multi-piston engine wherein one or more of the pistons is or are powered by a combustion gas and one or more further pistons is or are powered by a further gas evolved from a liquified source of gas, heat being exchanged between the products of combustion of the combustion gas and the further gas before the further gas is used to power the further piston or pistons.
2. An internal combustion piston engine having a plurality of pistons operating in respective cylinders, means for feeding a combustion gas to one or more of the cylinders where the combustion gas is burned to drive the corresponding piston or pistons, a heat exchanger, means for conveying products of combustion to the heat exchanger from the cylinder or cylinders in which the combustion gas is burned, storage means for storing a supply of liquified nitrogen or liquified air, means for conveying to the heat exchanger separately from the products of combustion a further gas evolved from liquid in the storage means, and means for conveying the further gas from the heat exchanger to at least a further one of said cylinders.
3. Any novel feature or novel combination of features disclosed herein.
