Patent ID: 8020365

Claim:
A gas turbine engine comprising: a compressor, said compressor capable of pressurizing air; a combustion chamber in communication with said compressor, said combustion chamber having a means for igniting pressurized air from said compressor to create ignited gas; a first turbine connected to a first side of said combustion chamber, wherein said ignited gas from said combustion chamber motivates said first turbine and generates force in a first direction; a second turbine connected to a second side of said combustion chamber that is diametrical to said first side of said combustion chamber, wherein said pressurized gas from said combustion chamber motivates said second turbine and generates force in a second direction that is opposite to said first direction; a turbine housing, said turbine housing connected to said combustion chamber; a first duct connected to said turbine housing, said first duct having a first section extending from said turbine housing in said second direction and a second section continuing from said first section that is bent reversely to extend in said first direction; a second duct connected to said turbine housing, said second duct having a first section extending from said turbine housing in said second direction and a second section continuing from said first section that is bent reversely to extend in said first direction; wherein said ignited gas flowing through said second turbine is separated by said first duct and said second duct.
