Abstract
A thermochemical engine that includes a reaction chamber having a nitrite source inlet, an ammonium source inlet, and a gas outlet, and a gas-driven energy transducer coupled to the reaction chamber such that a gas produced in the reaction chamber moves the gas-driven energy transducer in a process of exiting the reaction chamber via the gas outlet. The thermochemical engine is configured to produce the gas under pressure by reacting in the reaction chamber a nitrite source comprising a nitrite ion and an ammonium source comprising an ammonium ion in the presence of water at a reaction temperature of 50 to 150° C.
