Description: |
| Abstract:
This invention relates to various features of construction, and has for its general object the production of an explosive-engine of exceedingly simple construction, but of great efficiency and capable of very high speed.
One feature of the invention is concerned particularly with the introduction of the oil, which forms the basis of the explosive mixture, the vaporization of the oil, and the mixture of such vapor with air to form the explosive mixture, the special object in view being the certain vaporization of the oil without raising the temperature of the cylinder unduly and the speedy circulation of the vapor throughout the explosion-space in the working cylinder and the consequent reduction of an explosive mixture of uniform quality throughout the explosion-space, whereby f the best results as to efficiency and economy are produced.
Claims:
1. In an explosive-engine, the combination with a cylinder and piston, a cylinder-head having a substantially plane face, a tubular igniter carried by the cylinder-head, a compression-chamber in front of the piston and an air-duct from said compression-chamber having a port opened by the piston at the forward limit of its stroke, said cylinder having an exhaust-port also opened by the piston at the forward limit of its stroke, of an oil injector located in the wall of the cylinder, a separate dash-plate secured on the cylinder-head within the cylinder against which the oil is discharged by the injector, and means to direct the current of air from the port when opened upon said dash-plate, whereby the dash-plate is maintained at a vaporizing temperature and the vapor is carried away from said dash plate as formed and made to circulate in the cylinder and is thoroughly mixed with air.
2. In an explosive-engine, the combination with a cylinder and piston, a tubular igniter carried by the cylinder-head, a compression-chamber in front of the piston and an air-duct from said compression-chamber having a port opened by the piston at the forward limit of its stroke, said cylinder having an exhaust-port also opened by the piston at the forward limit of its stroke, of an oil-injector located in the wall of the cylinder, a separate dash-plate secured on the cylinder-head within the cylinder and between the igniter and the injector, and means to direct the current of air from the port when opened upon said dash-plate.
