Abstract:
An engine for powering by water, comprising:a) a stator;b) a rotor rotatably mounted in said stator; andc) a plurality of blades movably mounted in said rotor, wherein said stator comprises a stator body that is generally rectangular-parallelepiped-shaped, wherein said stator body of said stator has;i) an uppermost face;ii) a lowermost face disposed below, and parallel to, said uppermost face of said stator body of said stator;iii) a first side face; andiv) a second side face that is perpendicular to said first side face of said stator body of said stator, wherein said stator body of said stator further has a throughchamber that is cylindrically-shaped and extends concentrically and axially through said stator body of said stator from, and opens into, said uppermost face of said stator body of said stator, to, and opens into, said lowermost face of said stator body of said stator, and is defined by a circular periphery, wherein said stator body of said stator further has an intake port that extends transversely from, and opens into, said first side face of said stator body of said stator, to, and widens into a steam generating chamber with steam generating apparatus therein for generating steam as it communicates with said throughchamber in said stator body of said stator, wherein said stator body further comprises a top plate that is thin and rectangular-shaped and sized to match, while replaceably overlying, said uppermost face of said stator body of said stator, and has;I) a lowermost face that contacts said uppermost face of said stator body of said stator; andII) a longitudinal axis, wherein said lowermost face of said top plate of said stator has an annular groove that extends completely therearound, concentrically inward of said throughchamber in said stator body of said stator.
