Abstract

The invention provides for a fuel combustion powered engine and associated equipment configured to include a water inlet means, a preheating means (22) for preheating the water from the water inlet means to a temperature above 50°C, typically above 80°C, usually above 88°C, a high pressure pump means (20) for pumping the preheated water, a heating means (26) for heating the preheated water to above 225°C, typically above 650°C; and a superheating means (28) for heating the heated water to above 1000°C, typically above 1200°C, usually about 2000°C at the engine fuel introduction point (30).
