Description: |
Claim:
The engine herein shown and described is provided with means to use oil as the source of its power, and hence in that sense is a vapor-engine; but I may use either manufactured or natural gas, and its principle of construction is that of the gas-engine. It will also be seen that the engine is equipped with a single double-acting vibrating piston arranged to take explosions on both sides and that the necessary mechanism is in duplicate to enable this to be done, and, finally, though the engine itself is nonreversible it is made reversible in effect or operation, as hereinafter fully described. |
