Description: |
| According to "Abridgements of Specifications Relating to the Steam Engine", this patent describes an engine with "A double cylinder connected in one casting. The concentric space is divided in height by a partition, and is also divided horizontally into (five) chambers having communication with the eduction and steam pipes. Five movable stoppers sliding in grooves formed on the circumference of the outer cylinder, are placed across the "piston" channel, and five "stationary stoppers" (or revolving pistons) are fixed on the axle, and revolve steam tight in the annular piston channel. Through a perforation in the inner cylinder steam enters from a concentric chamber into the space between a stationary and movable stopper, and moves the cylinder on which it is fixed; at the same instant steam is escaping into a contiguous concentric chamber from the adjacent space between two stoppers, the moveable one being drawn into its groove that the other stopper may pass over it. Having passed, a revolving stopper closes the steam way, and so on at every advance of the movable stopper in its circuit."The stationary stoppers act as 'plungers,' to draw out hot water from the condenser."2. Describes an engine in which the piston vibrates on an axis in an annular channel."3. Applies the apparatus to act as bellows of a furnace." |
