Underwater turbojet engine
In combination with an engine propelled through a fluent medium comprising a liquid under an external pressure, the engine is described including a housing, a rotor, means for rotatably mounting the rotor within the housing to form there within a continuous flow passage, inlet means mounted in the housing for guiding inflow of the fluent medium into the continuous flow passage, blade means mounted on the rotor within the continuous flow passage for sequential pressurization and depressurization of the fluent medium in response to rotation of the rotor, a source of non-gaseous fuel within the housing and means conducting the fuel from the source into the continuous flow passage for reaction therein by direct contact with the fluent medium to generate a reaction product substantially non-condensible within the fluent medium.
