Abstract

An energy generating system includes: an internal combustion engine including a combustion chamber, and an exhaust pipe in fluid communication with the combustion chamber; a heat exchanging unit including a steam boiler defining an inner space for receiving water therein, a tortuous heating pipe disposed in the inner space in the steam boiler and connected to the exhaust pipe so as to receive a high temperature exhaust gas from the combustion chamber and so as to generate steam in the inner space in the steam boiler, and a steam turbine connected to the steam boiler so as to receive steam from the inner space in the steam boiler; and an energy output unit including a power generator connected to the steam turbine for generating electrical power.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . An energy generating system comprising:
 an internal combustion engine including a combustion chamber, and an exhaust pipe in fluid communication with said combustion chamber;   a heat exchanging unit including a steam boiler defining an inner space for receiving water therein, a tortuous heating pipe disposed in said inner space in said steam boiler and connected to said exhaust pipe so as to receive a high temperature exhaust gas from said combustion chamber and so as to generate steam in said inner space in said steam boiler, and a steam turbine connected to said steam boiler so as to receive steam from said inner space in said steam boiler; and   an energy output unit including a power generator connected to said steam turbine for generating electrical power.   
   
   
       2 . The energy generating system of  claim 1 , wherein said heat exchanging unit further includes a steam pipe interconnecting said steam boiler and said steam turbine. 
   
   
       3 . The energy generating system of  claim 1 , wherein said heat exchanging unit further includes a condensing unit interconnecting said steam turbine and said steam boiler and including a tortuous condensing pipe connected to said steam turbine, a condensate-storage container connected to said tortuous condensing pipe, and a pump connected to said condensate-storage container and said steam boiler for transporting condensate from said condensate-storage container to said inner space in said steam boiler. 
   
   
       4 . The energy generating system of  claim 1 , wherein said steam boiler includes a safety valve for releasing steam. 
   
   
       5 . The energy generating system of  claim 1 , wherein said steam turbine includes a turbine housing, a turbine blade unit disposed in said turbine housing, and a spindle co-movably connected to said turbine blade unit and connected to said power generator of said energy output unit. 
   
   
       6 . The energy generating system of  claim 1 , wherein said energy output unit further includes a storage battery connected to said power generator, and a motor connected to said storage battery. 
   
   
       7 . The energy generating system of  claim 1 , wherein said internal combustion engine further includes an output shaft. 
   
   
       8 . The energy generating system of  claim 7 , wherein said internal combustion engine further includes an energy generator connected to said output shaft.
