Abstract: A fluid power system comprising a steam generator connected to a hydraulic pumping device for delivering steam under pressure to the device for driving the same, while steam is returned to the steam generator via a condenser. The hydraulic pumping device is connected by means of suitable conduits to a plurality of hydraulic motors for driving the same and the conduits include valving means for controlling the direction of fluid between the hydraulic pumping device and the hydraulic motors and returning fluid to a reservoir from which fluid is initially drawn by the hydraulic pumping device. The hydraulic motors provide a rotary output for driving the wheels of a vehicle on which the fluid power system is used. The system further comprises valve means for controlling the pressure at which the system operates. A single directional hydraulic motor is connected to the output of the hydraulic pumping device through a variable flow control valve and a pressure regulating valve and functions to provide power for operating generators, power brakes, steering, air-conditioning and other systems which are utilized in conjunction with the fluid power system.
