Abstract
A power system including a variable volume combustion chamber for a two-stroke engine having a controlled exhaust port, a fuel injector to the combustion chamber, an oxygen injector to the combustion chamber and a water injector to the combustion chamber. The fuel, oxygen and water injectors controlled by a CPU provide repeated serial pulses of fuel, oxygen and water to complete a charge. An ignition chamber receives a compressed charge then ignited by a spark plug to pass through a restricted port to the main combustion chamber. A source of pressurized concentrated oxygen to the oxygen injector is in a closed air separator having a ceramic membrane of yttrium stabilized zirconia with a synthesized double perovskite nanofiber catalyst coating.
Claims8
A power system comprising
- a variable volume combustion chamber including a two-stroke cycle;
- a controlled exhaust port from the combustion chamber;
- a fuel injector system including at least one fuel injector directed to the combustion chamber;
- a source of fuel constructed and arranged to charge the fuel injector system with fuel;
- an oxygen injector system including at least one oxygen injector directed to the combustion chamber;
- a source of pressurized oxygen constructed and arranged to charge the oxygen injector system with oxygen, the source of pressurized oxygen including an oxygen separator constructed and arranged to separate oxygen from air and an air intake to the oxygen separator, the at least one fuel injector and the at least one oxygen injector being the sources of a cumulative stoichiometric or leaner combustible charge to the variable volume combustion chamber;
- a water injector system including at least one water injector directed to the combustion chamber;
- a source of water constructed and arranged to charge the water injector system with water, the fuel injector system, the oxygen injector system and the water injector system constructed and arranged to serially inject fuel, oxygen and water repeatedly into the combustion chamber.
