An internal combustion engine apparatus includes a structure defining an internal combustion chamber having opposite first and second ends, a mechanism for introducing fuel into the chamber, a mechanism for admitting air into the chamber at its first end to mix with fuel in the chamber and form a combustible fuel/air mixture, a mechanism for igniting the fuel/air mixture in the chamber, a mechanism at the second end of the chamber for passing the pressurized products of combustion therefrom, a turbine driven by the pressurized products of combustion leaving the second end of the chamber, a diffuser located between the turbine and the combustion chamber, the diffuser having a structure for deflecting angularly the pressurized products of combustion leaving the second end of the combustion chamber for breaking up the flow of the pressurized products of combustion leaving the chamber.

An internal combustion engine apparatus comprising: means defining an internal combustion chamber having opposite first and second ends; means for introducing fuel into said chamber; means for admitting air into said chamber at said first end thereof to mix with fuel therein and form a combustible fuel/air mixture; means for igniting the fuel/air mixture in said chamber; means at said second end of said chamber for passing the pressurized products of combustion therefrom; a turbine driven by the pressurized products of combustion leaving said second end of said chamber; a diffuser comprising a diffuser plate rotatably mounted between said turbine and said combustion chamber, said plate comprising a diffuser opening which registers with said second end of said chamber, said diffuser containing a plurality of fin members oriented to deflect angularly said pressurized products of combustion leaving said second end of said combustion chamber for breaking up the flow of said pressurized products of combustion leaving said chamber before they reach said turbine.
