Description: |
| Abstract:
My invention relates to explosive agent machines, and was especially designed for use in explosive engines. The invention, however, is capable of use in other forms of machines employing explosive agents, such as heavy ordnance. The especial object is to render these machines more efficient by the provision of a simple and reliable mechanism for the injection of water into the explosion cylinder in such a way so as to get both the cooling effect therefrom and the additional power resulting from the vapor or steam generated from the water.
Claim:
In an explosive engine, the combination with means for introducing and exploding an explosive agent within the explosion chamber, of a water pump operated by the engine and having a delivery connection to the explosion cylinder, a bypass and a double acting check valve, in the connections from said pump, subject to the pressure from= the working cylinder of the engine for closing the bypass and permitting the water to be forced by the pump into said cylinder. |
