Abstract

An internal expansion engine having a housing. Secured to the housing is a cylinder defining an expansion chamber. A piston is provided within the cylinder defining a wall of the expansion chamber. A charge of noble gas is provided within the expansion chamber. A magnetic field generator and radio frequency power generator is provided around the expansion chamber and an initiator system is located within the expansion chamber. The magnetic field generator, radio frequency power generator and initiator system coact to cause the noble gas to expand, pushing against the piston and generating work. The actions of the engine are monitored and controlled by an intelligent electronic control system that provides all switching needed to operate the engine and communicate with outside elements providing external control of information sources.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An electronic control system comprising:
 (a) a cylinder coil;   (b) a first switch coupled to said cylinder coil;   (c) an initiator system;   (d) a second switch coupled to said initiator system;   (e) a radio frequency generator;   (f) a third switch coupled to said radio frequency generator; and   (g) a central processing unit coupled to said first switch, said second switch and said third switch.   
     
     
         2 . The internal expansion engine of claim  15 , wherein said initiator system is a spark coil.
