Abstract
A motor comprising a housing defining a chamber, a plate provided within said chamber, and means for condensing a gas within said housing in a manner which creates a sufficient negative pressure near said plate to assist in movement of said plate.
Claims20
A motor comprising:
- (a) a housing defining a chamber;
- (b) a plate provided within said chamber;
- and
- (c) means for condensing a gas within said housing in a manner which creates a sufficient negative pressure near said plate to provide at least ten percent of the energy used to generate movement of said plate.

A motor comprising:
- (a) a housing defining an expansion chamber and condensation chamber;
- (b) a plate provided within said housing coupled for movement into fluid communication with said expansion chamber and said condensation chamber;
- (c) means for assisting movement of said plate at least partially by expanding gas within said expansion chamber;
- and
- (d) means for cooling said condensation chamber sufficiently to produce at least ten percent of the energy used to generate movement of said plate at least partially by condensing at least a portion of said gas into a liquid within said condensation chamber.

A motor comprising:
- (a) a wall defining an interior;
- (b) a plurality of vanes coupled for rotation within said interior;
- (c) means for directing a sufficient quantity of gas under pressure toward a vane of said plurality of vanes to assist in rotation movement of said vane;
- and
- (d) means for condensing a sufficient quantity of said gas to produce at least ten percent of the energy used to generate movement of said vane.
