Water Piston Engine...!

what do you know about water piston engine ! is there any online documents you provide me with , because I couldn't find anything online!
I know it uses no cylinders and the thrust is generated by the water somehow! I wish I can find something to read about the subject..
...
Thanks you in advance

Are you referring to RAM water pumps? Look it up on internet. There are both commercial and DIY versions available. I used one many years ago. The only problem I had was occasionally finding small sticks (from the supply line) in one of the check valves. Use a screen on the input supply line.
