Abstract:
1. A fluid piston engine comprising: a plurality of combustion cylinders, each having an inlet tube and an outlet tube; one turbine comprising a single disk shaped impeller with a vane extending outward relative to the axial center of the disk, the impeller being rotatably mounted in a turbine housing; a channel inside of the turbine housing positioned for providing a fluid flow path around the radial periphery of the impeller; and a daisy chain connection of the cylinders and the turbine such that a closed fluid flow path exists from the channel through a first inlet tube in to a first cylinder, then out from the first cylinder to the channel through a first outlet tube, then through a portion of the channel and out from the channel through a next, i.e., second inlet tube in to a second cylinder, then out from the second cylinder to the channel through a second outlet tube, then through a portion of the channel and out from the channel through a next inlet tube, the fluid flow path being a daisy chain from the first inlet tube all the way around until the next inlet tube is the first inlet tube.
