Abstract:
A near adiabatic engine has four stages in a cycle: (1) a means of adiabatically expanding the working fluid during the downstroke from a high pressure/temperature level to a low level; (2) a means of cooling the working fluid at Bottom Dead Center (BDC); (3) a means of adiabatically compressing that fluid from a low pressure/temperature level at BDC to the higher level at Top Dead Center (TDC); and finally, (4) a means of passing that working fluid back to the high pressure/temperature source in a balanced pressure environment so as to minimize the resistance of that flow. This disclosure teaches the means of achieving (2) and (3) as follows: (2) a means is disclosed of BDC cooling of the expanded working fluid in the working chamber, and (3) a means is disclosed of adiabatically compressing the working fluid into the pump chamber before cycling the fluid.

Claim (Index 16):
The heat engine of  claim 1 , further comprising a means of driving the near adiabatic engine, wherein:\n a containment furnace will produce and contain heat to be used to drive the engine; the furnace heat is produced by burning fuel through a facet-like fuel burner, typical used in oil and gas-fired furnaces; the outer shell of the containment furnace is made of a heat containing material such as ceramic shell, typically used in metal casting processes; inside the furnace, heat produced from the facet burn is transferred to the working fluid through said heat exchanger that stretches the length of the furnace; the furnace may be linear, worm, or spiral shaped as best contains its internal heat or optimizes the efficient transfer of that internal heat from the internal heat exchanger to the engine, and to best conform to the interior space and requirements of the appliance encasement; the furnace will exhaust its fumes through an exit flue before passing its heat through the water heater and/or HVAC unit for preheating; temperature sensors will maintain optimum flowrate through said furnace by monitor the operation of said containment furnace and its associated appliances, thus ensuring optimum temperature and heat utilization and/or heat to work conversion between all its appliances; an internal fan or like monitor will contain and draw off heat from the furnace as required by said engine or other associated appliances to maintain the optimum flowrate; said containment furnace, said engine and its generator will interphase with the central heater, water heater, AC, and absorption chiller to achieve optimum heat utilization; sensors may be attached to the oil or gas burner inshot of the containment furnace to regulate the optimum temperature/heat utilization; the combined generator unit may be called the Gas-Tricity and may include integration into the larger unit which may include the water heater, HVAC, central heating, AC, and absorption chiller components for energy sharing; and the appliance may be called the Gas-Tricity Home Generator (GTHG).
