Abstract

The engine is adapted to generate thrust or designed to generate torque includes a combustor, the combustor generates an exhaust gas flow to push the rotor blades of a rotor in a rotor housing, the exhaust gas flow rotates the rotor, shaft, and fan which produces a rotating force and produces an air flow. The rotor housing having a first wall, a second wall, and a third wall which guides the exhaust gas flow until the exhaust gas flow reaches a housing gap at the second wall and the exhaust gas flow moves out from the rotor housing, while the first wall having another housing gap for the air flow to go through to cool the rotor and the cooling process adds torque to the engine. The engine includes an optional wind turbine assembly. An air compressor is either driven by an electric motor or driven by other means.
