Abstract: Slush gas, i.e. a gas or a mixture of gases cooled so that it is partially solid and partially liquid is employed as a drive fluid in a cryogenic engine. A cryogenic engine has a working chamber (50) connected to an energy source comprising a body of slush gas (47) via injection apparatus having a housing (36) which acts as a heat exchanger for causing part of the slush gas entering the injector to boil, so as to enable the gas to be driven under pressure into the working chamber (15).
