Patent ID: 7444998

Claim:
An apparatus for obtaining mechanical power or torque comprising: an engine unit, including a predetermined number of cylinders coupled with cylinder heads; water supply means at least for supply of a water body; ions producing means including a predetermined number of transformers configured to dissociate the water body at least into hydrogen ions and oxygen ions by subjecting the water body to thermo-impact caused by combustion products of a combustion reaction taking place in said cylinders, the combustion products having a temperature in a predetermined temperature range, said transformers each substantially disposed in an internal space of each said cylinder heads; a number of ionic dividers, each configured to separate at least said hydrogen ions and said oxygen ions, said number of ionic dividers each communicated with said predetermined number of transformers, said number of ionic dividers configured to receive at least the hydrogen and oxygen ions from the transformers; a hydrogen pump means configured to pump at least the hydrogen ions out of said number of ionic dividers; and an oxygen pump means configured to pump at least the oxygen ions out of said number of ionic dividers; hydrogen supply means; oxygen-containing supply means; hydrogen injection means including a number of hydrogen injection chambers controllably connected to said hydrogen pump means to receive hydrogen ions, and configured to inject said hydrogen ions into the top region of each said cylinder; a number of hydrogen injection chambers controllably connected to said hydrogen supply means and configured to inject a hydrogen dose into the top region of each said cylinder; at least oxygen injection means including a number of oxygen injection chambers controllably connected to said oxygen pump means to receive said oxygen ions, and configured to inject said oxygen ions into the top region of each said cylinder; a number of oxygen injection chambers controllably connected to said oxygen-containing supply means and configured to inject at least an oxygen dose into the top region of each said cylinder; controlling means for control of at least the flows of said water body, and said hydrogen ions, and said oxygen ions.
