Walter built several engines and turbines, for special U boats and the Me 163 Komet jet in WW2. The U boats engines were powered by a mixture of Diesel and hydrogen, a first reai AIP engine. But it did not look like the picture you posted..

OT i wanted to apologize for some of my posts where i said one of your posts would be 'idiotic', indeed it was me who was. Sorry.

That's ok.

Well Hydrogen is one of the fuel used in this engine and the second is not diesel.

Another hint

A word is connected to the word fuel. A word we the human have trillions of in our body.

Aktungbby: no not water.

It's something that is all around us and is the lightest.

Catfish: yes those was the two type of fuel used in this engine
and it used fuel cells

Aktungbby: I can't say yes or no in this case.

Hint

About 99 % of today's engine is build on the principle combustion
This engine used another principle.

(I can tell you I had never heard of it before)
