Patent ID: 7763988

Claim:
An air turbine power propulsion engine for use in powering a vehicle or generator, said air power propulsion engine comprising: a housing having an air intake end and an air exhaust end, a generator, first and second drive shafts, at least one compressor, said at least one compressor driving said first drive shaft, plural turbine blades to drive said second drive shaft, which in turn powers said generator, and a differential gear mechanism connected to said first drive shaft to increase its speed to effect a great acceleration and compression of the air that enters said intake end, said engine further including an auxiliary internal combustion engine to initially rotate said generator and provide additional power to said power propulsion engine, and a water cooling mechanism having piping means to transmit heated water to heat the air and increase the output of said power propulsion engine; wherein said internal combustion engine includes an exhaust mechanism to vent gases therefrom, said exhaust mechanism transmitting said gases to said turbine of said engine increasing the pressure and speed of the air.
