HYDROGEN JET-PHASE ENGINE The turbine assembly 12 includes a cone-shaped station ary housing 20 having an exhaust port 22 at a rearward end.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION A cone-shaped turbine wheel 24 has a plurality of curved vanes 26 radially mounted thereon. A power take off shaft 28

The instant invention relates generally to hydrogen gas is affixed to the turbine wheel 24 and is rotatively connected driven turbines and more specifically it relates to a hydrogen to the housing 20. The generator 14 is connected to one end gas jet pulse engine, which provides a safe usage of hydro of the shaft 28 extending from the housing 20. gen gas with oxygen gas as the combustion fuel. The manifold extension 16 contains an inlet tube 30 for There are available various conventional hydrogen gas O carrying the mixture of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas into driven turbines which do not provide the novel improve the combustion chamber 18. A spark plug 32 is for igniting ments of the invention herein disclosed. the mixture of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas in the com bustion chamber 18.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION FIG. 2 shows a modified hydrogen gas jet pulse engine

A primary object of the present invention is to provide a 10a comprising a stationary water cooled housing 20a hydrogen gas jet pulse engine that will overcome the short having a combustion chamber 18a at a forward end 19a and comings of the prior art devices. an exhaust port 22a at arearward end. A cone-shaped turbine Another object is to provide a hydrogen gas jet pulse wheel 24a has a plurality of curved vanes 26a radially 20 mounted thereon. A power take off shaft 28a is affixed to the engine that uses in a safe way the combination of hydrogen gas with oxygen gas as the combustion fuel for the engine, turbine wheel 24a (see FIG. 3) and is rotatively connected instead of burning of petroleum fuels. to the housing 20a via a brace 34 and bearings 36. A An additional object is to provide a hydrogen gas jet pulse generator 14 is connected to one end of the shaft 28a engine in which the exhaustable by product will be steam 25 extending into the from the housing 20a. A fuel nozzle 30a extends housing 20a at the combustion chamber 18a for that will turn into water, thereby being better for the envi spraying a mixture of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas into the ronment and will not pollute the atmosphere.

A further object is to provide a hydrogen gas jet pulse combustion chamber 18a. An igniter 32a extends into the housing 20a at the combustion chamber 18a opposite from engine that is simple and easy to use. 30 the fuel nozzle 30a, for igniting the mixture of hydrogen gas A still further object is to provide a hydrogen gas jet pulse and oxygen gas in the combustion chamber 18a, thereby engine that is economical in cost to manufacture. producing steam to rotate the turbine wheel 24a and the shaft Further objects of the invention will appear as the descrip 28a to operate the generator 14.
