摘要：A metallic fuel mixture including solidic powders such as silicon, aluminum andmagnesium together with an oxidant, and steam and hydrogen are fed into a combustorto undergo combustion therein. The combustor is positioned within a steam chamber

enclosure filled with water as working fluid which is heated by the combustion. Theheated water within the stream chamber enclosure is thereby converted into pressurizedsteam fed into a turbine for operation thereof to impart rotation to a shaft therebypropelling a sea vessel within which the steam chamber enclosure is housed. During suchcombustion, discharge from the combustor of a liquid by-product occurs as outflowthrough an exhaust funnel into a collector from which the by-product is processed forejection into seawater without signature detection. The radiant energy generated by suchcombustion may be converted by photovoltaic cells within the steam chamber enclosureinto electrical energy made available outside of the steam chamber enclosure, whilesome of the heat energy generated by the combustion within the combustor may also beconverted by thermoelectric cells into electrical energy made available outside of thesteam chamber enclosure.
