A combustion heater comprising an induction chamber provided with an inlet, a combustion chamber in fluid communication with the inlet of the induction chamber, means for moving an oxydizer from the inlet of the induction chamber to the combustion chamber, a fuel reservoir, a frame defining a fuel passageway, means for moving a fuel from the fuel reservoir through the fuel passageway to the combustion chamber, means in fluid communication with the fuel passageway for shearing a fuel prior to combustion, means in fluid communication with the fuel passageway for heating the fuel prior to combustion, and means for combusting a fuel oxydizer mixture within the combustion chamber.
摘要:
A motor for converting fluid pressure to rotational motivation and pump for moving fluid, comprising a first drum provided within a second drum. The first drum is provided with a pair of vanes, each provided with a generally heart-shaped slot around a drum shaft. The orientation of the drum shaft and shape of the slots cause the vanes to extend and retract relative to the inner drum as fluid pressure or mechanical motion rotate the inner drum relative to the outer drum.

A pump includes a pump body defining first and second cavities. First and second rotors are disposed in the first and second cavities between an inlet passage and an outlet passage and are in sealing relationship with each other during rotation of the rotors. A drive transmission mechanism is coupled to the first and second rotors for rotating the rotors in opposite directions. During a revolution of the first rotor, a vane projecting from the first rotor emerges from a recess of the second rotor, passes the inlet passage and the outlet passage, and enters a recess of the second rotor, while the inlet passage remains sealed from the outlet passage.

A drive shaft assembly is provided for allowing rotation of a drive shaft in a single direction. The drive shaft assembly includes a housing, a drive shaft and an overrunning clutch. The overrunning clutch includes an inner race having an outer annular contact surface and an outer race having an inner annular contact surface spaced radially from the inner race. The inner annular contact surface and the outer annular contact surface form an annular space therebetween. Provided within this annular space are a plurality of sprags which allow the inner race to rotate in a first direction relative to the outer race while preventing the inner race from rotating in a second direction to the outer race. A drive housing is secured to the outer race and a drive shaft is secured to the inner race so that when rotational force is provided to the drive shaft in the first direction, the drive shaft rotates, but when force is applied to rotate the drive shaft in the reverse direction, the torsional forces on the drive shaft are transferred through the overrunning clutch to the housing thereby preventing rotation of the drive shaft in the second direction. In the preferred embodiment, the drive shaft is coupled to a piston assembly which transfers linear actuation of the piston to rotational movement of the drive shaft.

Multiple steam powered cylinders reciprocate to pivot arms back and forth connected to output drive shafts through one way clutches with the output drive shafts being interconnected through gears such that when one shaft is powered, the other is coasting. The inlet and outlet valves for each cylinder chamber are controlled by an actuator which instantaneously snaps the valves between open and closed positions. The power cylinders may be operated individually, in parallel or in series and as required, a valve passageway through the piston may be operated to equalize pressure. A pair of O-rings on the piston engage the cylinder wall only when the adjacent chamber is pressurized, thereby reducing drag in operation of the piston.

High pressure air on the order of 3,000 PSI is injected into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine during only the combustion cycle of engine operation to increase its horsepower and torque. The injection of air is triggered by the combustion chamber pressure reaching a predetermined level which causes a check valve to be opened thereby providing communication from an air source to the combustion chamber. When the combustion chamber pressure drops to a predetermined level, spring biased pressure combined with air injection pressure will exceed combustion pressure and cause the ball valve to return to its closed position. The cycle will be repeated during each combustion cycle of operation of a multiple cycle engine.

摘要:
A motor for converting fluid pressure to rotational motivation, and pump for moving fluid, is provided. The motor/pump includes a drum provided within a cylindrical cavity defined by a housing. Vane assemblies are provided which extend through the inner drum, and are actuated to extend and retract through their operable coupling to a cam provided within the inner drum. As the inner drum rotates, the vanes extend and retract, alternately increasing and decreasing their drag coefficient, causing pressurized fluid admitted into the interior to drive the vanes and inner drum in a single direction. Alternatively, a power source may be coupled to the motor to drive the motor, thereby causing it to act as a pump for moving fluid from one location to another.
