Abstract
A supplementary power system of an automobile, including a plurality of pre-heating water chambers and a steam boiler connected in series, a water circulation loop for collecting heat from the engine cooling system of the automobile for warming up water in the pre-heating water chambers, an exhaust gas guide pipe for collecting heat from the exhaust gas of the engine for heating water in the steam boiler into steam, a steam engine driven by steam from the steam boiler, an air compressor driven by the steam engine, and a pneumatic motor driven by the air compressor to transmit a driving power to the engine shaft of the automobile through a transmission belt.
Claims2
A supplementary power system installed in an automobile to add a driving power to the engine shaft of the automobile, comprising:
- a water reservoir;
- a plurality of pre-heating water chambers connected in series to said water reservoir to receive water from said water reservoir;
- a steam boiler connected in series to said pre-heating water chambers to heat water from said pre-heating water chambers to the boiling point;
- a water level controller;
- a plurality of one-way electromagnetic valves controlled by said water level controller to open the water passage between said water reservoir and said pre-heating water chambers respectively;
- a water circulation loop connected to the engine cooling system of the automobile and passing through said pre-heating water chambers, for circulation of engine cooling water through said pre-heating water chambers, permitting water in said pre-heating water chambers to be warmed up by heat carried in water in the engine cooling water;
- an exhaust gas guide pipe connected between the engine exhaust system and muffler of the automobile, and passing through said steam boiler and one pre-heating water chamber, for permitting water in said steam boiler to be heated to the boiling point by heat from the exhaust gas of the engine of the automobile;
- a steam engine driven by steam from said steam boiler;
- an air compressor driven by said steam engine;
- a pneumatic motor driven by said air compressor and having a power output end coupled to the engine shaft of the automobile by a transmission belt;
- and
- a steam recovery container adapted for collecting exhaust steam from said steam engine and guiding it to said water reservoir.
