Combustion or heat engine

All engine be they piston, rotary, or turbine rely upon gas expansion to provide force to the drive shaft. Each is highly complicated and involving more than one moving part.
DaS overcome this by using simplicity against complication.
The engine pictured is of heat configuration, however if combustion is desirable in place of the gas passing through the liguid cooler and back into the turbine it passes direct to attmosphere and fuel/air is taken in in place of cool gas.

Hello daiquri
No the new design has only one moving part not four. It constant force rather than pulsed. Peter

Hello PAR,

I get asked that often, but no, if anything a twist on the steam turbine. Water alone may be used. Though the cool gas intake is left off. If used in this mode greater cooling of the cooling tank is needed. The boiler return pump of conventional steam turbine is done away with.

Hello PaR
If of help attatched is low pressure CO2 graph. Once above 32* Celsius its more efficient to have the CO2 cool itself
