  • Patent number: 6430918
    Abstract: A solid fuel turbine drive system for utilizing waste coal products for environmentally friendly energy generation. The solid fuel turbine drive system includes an housing consisting of four side walls a roof and a floor, a first aperture extends through a first one of said side walls; a combustion tunnel with a first end which extends into the housing through the first aperture and a second end; a turbine assembly substantially aligned with the combustion tunnel first end such that gases being expelled from the first end turn the turbine assembly; and at least one solid fuel cell positionable within the second end of the combustion tunnel such that detonation of the solid fuel cell forces gasses out of the first end of the combustion tunnel.
