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.

A control device configured to control an inflow adjusting unit that quantitatively adjusts an inflow of a gas into a compressor and to control a valve provided in a second flow passage branching from a first flow passage from the compressor to a compressed gas supply destination includes: a command calculating unit that is configured to calculate a command value for at least any one of the inflow adjusting unit and the valve; and a correction value calculating unit that is configured to calculate a correction value with respect to a command value for at least any one of the inflow adjusting unit and the valve.

This invention presents a method for conversion of heat to electrical power through absorption of heat from any types of fluids with temperatures both higher and lower than 0° C. Heat can be absorbed from fossil or renewable energy resources. The mechanism in this invention uses fluid internal energy and enthalpy difference to generate power, where a reciprocating piston-cylinder system provides the required force to rotate a turbine for power generation.
