FIELD: power engineering, automotive industry, aircraft industry, small-size power stations. SUBSTANCE: housing is made in form of straight cylinder whose end at one side is covered by bottom and is open at other side. Housing accommodates nozzle assembly made in form of diaphragm with nozzle slots, and turbine with power takeoff shaft, arranged in tandem. Power takeoff shaft is made in form of tube opened from end faces and installed on bearing supports in center of diaphragm and housing bottom with projection from bottom for connection with driven machine. Slots of diaphragm are uniformly spaced at acute angle relative to direction of turbine rotation. Water supply header with inlet branch pipe furnished with check valve is secured on housing around diaphragm. Header communicates with spaces of slots and with combustion chamber space before diaphragm through two rows of radial holes. Cross-section of diaphragm decreases uniformly from center to periphery. EFFECT: increased efficiency and power output, improved reliability and no adverse effect on environment. 3 cl, 2 dwg
