Abstract
An engine having a first reaction chamber to which fuel is to be supplied, either alone or with another reactant, and to which heat is applied to effect an endothermic chemical reaction to produce, under substantially reversible conditions, a reformed fuel, a second reaction chamber to which the reformed fuel discharged from the first reaction chamber is passed together with air or other reactant to effect an exothermic chemical reaction in the second reaction chamber, and a heat exchanger (conveniently of the fluidized bed type) to transfer heat produced by the exothermic reaction in the second reaction chamber to the first reaction chamber to effect the endothermic reaction.
