Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to explosive engines in which a non-gaseous fuel .is employed as the basis of the explosive charge; and it has for its object to provide improved means for the simultaneous ignition of the charge at different points in the cross-section of the working cylinder or explosion-chamber.
Claims:
1. In an explosive-engine, the combination of a combustion chamber or cylinder, a plurality of separate and independent igniters disposed on the cylinder-head at widely-separated points to ignite the charge at different places in the combustion-chamber simultaneously, one or more of said igniters having a projection within the cylinder, and means to inject the fuel against such projection, substantially as described.
2. In an explosive-engine, the combination of a single combustion-chamber, a fuel-supply pipe having a nozzle with a plurality of inlet-openings, a plurality of separate and independent igniters disposed on the cylinder-head at widely-separated points within said single chamber to ignite the charge at different places in said chamber simultaneously, the igniters in line with said inlet-openings being provided with lips to receive and vaporize the fuel, substantially as described.
