Abstract
Disclosed is a system including a turbine having a plurality of blades being spaced circumferentially around a shaft. A plurality of dispensers is included. Each dispenser of the plurality of dispensers is positioned facing the open surface of the plurality of blades and directs discharged fluid toward the open surface of the plurality of blades to drive the turbine. A housing encloses the plurality of blades and a portion of each dispenser. A plurality of exhaust pipes is coupled to the housing and extends away from the shaft directing the discharged fluid out of the housing. Each exhaust pipe corresponds to a respective dispenser of the plurality of dispensers. A controller is in communication with the plurality of dispensers and is configured to control the plurality of dispensers.

A system comprising:
- a turbine having a plurality of blades being spaced circumferentially around a shaft, each blade of the plurality of blades being a hemispherical-shaped cup with an open surface;
- a plurality of dispensers, each dispenser of the plurality of dispensers positioned facing the open surface of the plurality of blades, and directing discharged fluid toward the open surface of the plurality of blades to drive the turbine;
- wherein the each dispenser comprises:
- a combustion chamber having a funnel shape with a top surface and a bottom surface, the top surface being at least four times wider than the bottom surface;
- an air intake valve coupled to the combustion chamber the air intake valve having a first closed position and a second open position, and allowing air into the combustion chamber from an air compressor directly coupled to the combustion chamber;
- a fuel injector coupled to the combustion chamber, and injecting fuel into the combustion chamber from a fuel system;
- an ignitor coupled to the combustion chamber, and supplying a spark for combustion of an air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, the ignitor directly opposite the fuel injector;
- and
- a nozzle having a first nozzle end coupled to the bottom surface of the combustion chamber and a second nozzle end positioned to direct the discharged fluid after combustion in the combustion chamber toward the open surface of the plurality of blades driving the turbine;
- a housing enclosing the plurality of blades and a portion of each dispenser of the plurality of dispensers;
- a plurality of exhaust pipes coupled to the housing and extending away from the shaft directing the discharged fluid out of the housing, wherein each exhaust pipe of the plurality of exhaust pipes corresponds to a respective dispenser of the plurality of dispensers;
- and
- a controller in communication with the plurality of dispensers, and configured to control the plurality of dispensers.
