A low or no pollution engine is provided for delivering power for vehicles or other power applications. The engine has an air inlet which collects air from a surrounding environment. At least a portion of the nitrogen in the air is removed using a technique such as liquefaction, pressure swing adsorption or membrane based air separation. The remaining air is primarily oxygen, which is then compressed and routed to a gas generator. The gas generator has an igniter and inputs for the high pressure oxygen and a high pressure hydrogen containing fuel, such as hydrogen or methane. The fuel and oxygen are combusted within the gas generator, forming water and carbon dioxide with carbon containing fuels. Water is also delivered into the gas generator to control a temperature of the combustion products. The combustion products are then expanded through a power generating device, such as a turbine or piston expander to deliver output power for operation of a vehicle or other power uses. The combustion products, steam and, with carbon containing fuels, carbon dioxide, are then passed through a condenser where the steam is condensed and the carbon dioxide is collected or discharged. A portion of the water is discharged into the surrounding environment and the remainder is routed back to the gas generator.

Method according to claim 25, wherein the wedging structure comprises a frustoconical jaw engaged in a complementary frustoconical orifice formed inside the housing, and wherein the frustoconical jaw is compressed longitudinally by applying, to a largest-section end thereof, a force to drive it in toward a smallest-section end of the frustoconical orifice. 28. Method according to claim 27, wherein a jaw is engaged into a single end of the housing, the jaw being urged toward an opposite end of the housing. 29. Suspension bridge comprising at least one suspension cable, construction elements for supporting a deck of the bridge, and means for fixing at least some of the construction elements to the suspension cable, wherein the fixing means comprise at least one device for fixing together one of the construction elements and the cable, said device comprising a rigid housing connected to said one of the construction elements and surrounding the cable, a wedging structure arranged between the cable and the housing, and load transmitting means arranged to exert a longitudinal compressive force, parallel to the cable, on the wedging structure, the wedging structure being pressed against the cable and the housing under the action of the longitudinal compressive force, so as to offer resistance to movement of the housing and of the construction element parallel to the cable, and wherein the housing is a one-piece part which completely surrounds a portion of the cable. 30. Suspension bridge according to claim 29, wherein the construction elements fixed with respect to the suspension cable by means of said devices comprise a top of at least one tower of the bridge where the suspension cable is deflected. 31. Suspension bridge according to claim 29, wherein the construction elements fixed with respect to the suspension cable by means of said devices comprise hangers connected to the deck of the bridge. 32. Suspension bridge according to claim 29, wherein the construction elements fixed with respect to the suspension cable by means of said devices comprise sections of the deck of the bridge.
