Abstract
An example of the combustion engine includes a central chimney having a bottom end located adjacent a combustible fuel mixture of water and alcohol. A turbine has a top side with top side hole positioned around the chimney. A generally conical turbine insulator is positioned above the turbine and around the chimney. A generally conical deflector positioned above the insulator and around a top end of the chimney. The generally conical deflector is inverted relative to the generally conical turbine insulator.
Claims19
A combustion engine comprising:
- a central chimney having a bottom end located adjacent a combustible fuel mixture of water and alcohol;
- a turbine having a turbine top side with a top side hole through the turbine top side, the top side hole being positioned around the chimney;
- a generally conical turbine insulator positioned above the turbine and around the chimney;
- and
- a generally conical deflector positioned above the insulator and around a top end of the chimney, the generally conical deflector being inverted relative to the generally conical turbine insulator.
A combustion engine comprising:
- a chimney having a cylindrical chimney body defining a chimney interior that extends along a cylindrical axis from an open chimney bottom end to an open chimney top end, the chimney bottom end including a plurality of circumferentially spaced vents formed through the cylindrical chimney body for allowing air to flow into the chimney interior;
- a fuel source positioned adjacent to and beneath the chimney bottom end;
- and
- a hollow turbine body circumscribing the cylindrical chimney body and defining a turbine interior, the turbine body extending coaxially with the cylindrical chimney body from an open turbine bottom side to an open turbine top side in such a way that the cylindrical chimney body passes through the open turbine bottom side and open turbine top side, the turbine body including a plurality of circumferentially spaced slits formed through the turbine body for allowing air to flow into the turbine body.
A method of generating heat, the method comprising:
- generating heat from a combustion engine comprising
- (a) a central chimney having a bottom end located adjacent a combustible fuel mixture of water and alcohol;
- (b) a turbine having a turbine top side with top side hole through the turbine top side, the top side hole being positioned around the chimney;
- (c) a generally conical turbine insulator positioned above the turbine and around the chimney;
- and
- (d) a generally conical deflector positioned above the insulator and around a top end of the chimney, the generally conical deflector being inverted relative to the generally conical turbine insulator by igniting the fuel mixture.
