Abstract:
1. A steam engine, comprising: a sealed container containing a liquid therein; a steam-generating portion arranged under the sealed container being communicated with the sealed container to generate steam of the liquid; a condenser arranged over the sealed container being communicated with the sealed container to condense the steam of the liquid; a rotor dipped in the liquid in the sealed container and being rotatably supported by the sealed container, the rotor comprising a plurality of displacement chambers and a plurality of partitioning walls; a flow-out passage provided on an upper portion of the steam-generating portion; a plurality of magnets fixed near one end of the rotor; and a plurality of iron cores and generating coils secured to a side wall of the sealed container, the iron cores and the generating coils being placed at positions facing the magnets, wherein the steam of the liquid generated in the steam-generating portion is fed to the rotor by jetting the steam from the flow-out passage, such that the steam of the liquid imparts a rotational torque to the rotor by collision to the partitioning walls, and by a buoyancy force of the steam of the liquid which fills the displacement chambers, a rotational energy of the rotor being output from the generating coils as an electrical energy.
