Abstract
A gas turbine engine with a turbine with an exhaust manifold thereabout from which fluids can be transferred to the turbine and an air compressor having an air transfer duct extending therefrom so as to be capable to provide compressed air in that air transfer duct at one end thereof to the air intake of an internal combustion engine provided as an intermittent combustion engine. The air intake and an exhaust outlet are each coupled to combustion chambers therein and a rotatable output shaft is also coupled to those combustion chambers for generating force. The exhaust outlet has an exhaust transfer duct extending therefrom so as to have the intermittent combustion engine be capable to provide exhaust therefrom in that exhaust transfer duct at one end thereof, and the exhaust transfer duct being connected at an opposite end thereof to the exhaust manifold to be capable of transferring intermittent combustion engine exhaust thereto.
