    • An engine is disclosed comprising a chamber defined by at least one fixed wall and at least one movable wall, the volume of the chamber variable with movement of the movable wall; an injector arranged to inject liquid into the chamber while the chamber has a substantially minimum volume; apparatus through which energy is introduced that is absorbed by the fluid which then explosively vaporizes, performing work on the movable wall; and apparatus which returns the movable wall to a position prior to the work being performed thereon so the chamber has the substantially minimum volume, substantially evacuating the chamber of vaporized fluid without substantially compressing the vaporized fluid. Also disclosed is a method of converting energy from one form to another in a system comprising confining a quantity of substantially unexpanded liquid within a chamber; adding energy to the system, so as to heat the liquid sufficiently to vaporize the liquid and expand a resulting vapor; and receiving mechanical energy from the expanding vapor in a form of movement of a wall of the chamber responsive to the expansion. In a variation, a method of converting energy from one form to another by passing a working material through a closed liquid-vapor thermodynamic cycle, comprises expanding the working material from a liquid phase into a vapor phase by addition of heat; recovering heat from the working material in the vapor phase so as to condense the working material from the vapor phase into the liquid phase to await expansion; and adding the recovered heat to working material awaiting expansion, without changing the phase thereof.
