Abstract

The Hybrid Electric Steam Turbine Automotive Engine is a new and useful type of engine which does not require the internal combustion of Petroleum-Based fuels. The stainless steel casting engine operates on either petroleum-based or non-petroleum-based fuels and will eliminate dependence upon petroleum-based fuel. It will reduce adverse environmental impacts caused by emissions of Green House Gases.

Description

    BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • We, Benny Lee Berry and Benjamin Lawrence Berry, have invented an ornamental automotive engine design that is capable of operations as an engine for Transportation Vehicles. This stainless steel engine combines an electric motor and an internal combustion engine that allows for hybrid operations. The engine uses two fuels. The first fuel, Super Hydrasol, is non-hydrocarbon 100 percent hydrogen peroxide. The second fuel, Regular Hydrasol, is produced from by-products of the production of Super Hydrasol that is blended with a hydrocarbon-based fuel. Work on this patent application was not performed under contract with any organization.
    • BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE FIGURES OF THE DRAWING
  • FIG. 1 Hybrid Electric Steam Turbine Automotive Engine Schematic
  • In FIG. 1, there is depicted an automotive engine that uses Super Hydrasol, used for igniting and another fuel, Regular Hydrasol, used for the operations fuel. It shows the means for fuel injection. It also shows a means of spontaneously igniting the Super Hydrasol Igniter Fuel, without the use of spark plugs. It depicts a stainless steel casting engine that houses the Central Drive Shaft and Multiple Turbines Sub-Assembly. The Engine is, alternatively, driven by the fuel-cell powered electric motor that is bolted to the exterior of the engine. The Engine will accommodate various engine mounts by the external attachment of a steel plate at the bottom of the engine.
  • Referring initially to FIG. 1 of the Drawing, the engine 1 is a closed-cycle operations engine which has no Air Intake Manifold. It requires no Fuel-to-Air Ratio, since the Super Hydrasol (100% H2 O2) igniter produces an exothermal reaction when it contacts the metallic catalyst upon the injection of the Super Hydrasol into the engine. When Regular Hydrasol is injected into the engine, it is converted into superheated steam, which occurs when the Regular Hydrasol Fuel is exposed to the burning H2 and O2 gases from the igniter fuel. The engine exterior is air-cooled during operations by the Cooling Fan shown.
  • The engine does not require a carburetor. The Super Hydrasol (100% Hydrogen Peroxide} Igniter Fuel 2 is metered from the Super Hydrasol Supply 3 through the Hydrogen Peroxide Fuel Pump 4 directly through a Metallic Catalytic Screen 5 into the Forward Primary Chamber 6. This catalyst results in spontaneous burning of the 100% H2 O2. These burning gases flow through the revolving Gas Impeller 7 directly into the Secondary Chamber 8 where the Regular Hydrasol Fuel spray 9, is injected from the Regular Hydrasol Supply 10 by the Regular Hydrasol Fuel Pump 11 into this Chamber, and mixes with the burning gases flowing in from the Primary Chamber. The Regular Hydrasol Spray is thereby converted into high pressure superheated steam. This high pressure Superheated Steam 12 causes the Torque Converter Steam Turbine 13 to spin at a high angular rate of speed. The Torque Converter Steam Turbine is physically attached to the Central Drive Shaft 14 which rotates at the same high angular rate. The Central Drive Shaft drives the Reduction Gears 15 which drives the high speed Hydraulic Pumps. The Central Drive Shaft is also attached to the Flywheel 16 and the engine Cooling Fan 17. The high pressure exhaust gases pass through the Exhaust Manifold 18 and out through the Mufflers 19. The gases then pass out the Tailpipe 20 as steam. The Central Drive Shaft is also connected through gears in the vehicle transmission to the gear train which drives the wheels of the vehicle. The Central Drive Shaft is also, alternatively, driven by the attached Electric Motor 21 which is powered by electric power from the Solid Polymer Fuel Cells 22, through Drive Gears 23 attached to the Central Drive Shaft 14, as shown.
  • FIG. 2 Hybrid Electric Steam Turbine Automotive Engine Three-Dimensional View
  • FIG. 2 depicts the three-dimensional perspective external view of the Hybrid Electric Steam Turbine Engine. It shows the housing of the engine that consists of two stainless steel shells, the Top Shell 1 and the Bottom Shell 2. Each shell has a two inch flange 3 with steel bolts 4 at three-inch intervals around the periphery of the two shells which fasten the two castings together. The assembled shells house the subassembly of the Central Drive Shaft 6, two turbines, and bearings 5. Four Exhaust Pipes are welded into place at the rear of the engine shells. The Injection Port 7 for injection of Super Hydrasol Igniter Fuel (100% Hydrogen Peroxide) is located near the front of the engine. The Port 8 for injection of Regular Hydrasol Operations Fuel is located at the top of the Engine and aft of the Gas Impeller. The Electric Motor 9 is attached near the bottom of the exterior of the engine.
