A novel power-producing concept is disclosed, employing a rotating-plate radial gas turbine in various gas-turbine cycle configurations. The “rotating-plate radial gas turbine” is a rotating barrel with robust rectangular plates fitted into the turbine rotor, performing the function and the role of turbine blades, contained within a motionless rigid horizontal cylinder (casing). Combustion can take place in the spaces confined between adjacent rotating plates and the static cylinder, thus enabling a practical achievement of the Atkinson cycle (constant-volume heat addition) with improved cycle thermal efficiency. Alternatively, two or more compressor stages can be combined to feed a single rotating-plate radial gas turbine in cascades, thus gradually increasing pressure of working gas within a volume bordered by adjacent un-cooled rotating plates of the radial gas turbine and the casing. Alternatively, a single compressor may be combined with one or more stages of an axial turbine for cascade feeding of a single rotating-plate radial gas turbine. This “isochoric stuffing” effect enables achievement of significantly and even drastically improved gas-turbine-cycle thermal efficiencies. Cycle heat addition may be either isobaric or isochoric in either an open-cycle or a closed-cycle configuration. Using a sufficiently efficient radial gas turbine, it is theoretically possible to obtain 100% cycle thermal efficiency in a simple radial-gas-turbine configuration with appropriately chosen compressor-stages compression pressure ratios.

As a result, by reducing the amount of the fuel which is blown back to the inside of the intake passage in a period where the intake valve is open after intake bottom dead center, the amount of the fuel which flows into the exhaust passage as unburned gas when the fuel cut control is executed can be reduced.
