Abstract:
A pump has in a housing a revolvable shaft which drives a piston stroke guide body. Drive pistons are provided with piston shoes which run on the guide face of the piston stroke guide body and drive fluid supply pistons of smaller diameter. The pump preferies a fluid separator between lubricating and non-lubricating fluid, like for example, between oil and water, whereof one of the fluids flows through an inner chamber which is provided with inlet and outlet valves while the outer fluid acts in an outer chamber which is open toward the cylinder wherein the fluid supply piston reciprocates. Dead space fillers are provided to prevent losses by compression of fluid and seal means are assembled to prevent leakage of fluid from one into the other of the chambers. The fluid separator may be compressible and expandable within the plastic deformable range of the material whereof it is made. The pump includes sophisticated technologies which necessiated more than half a decade of intensive research and testing but it is now capable of pumping fluid, including water, of several thousand atmospheres of pressure.
Abstract:
A solid fuel bar preferred to be pressed from cleaned coal powder to a high density is led into a combustion chamber. Air is compressed to high pressure and temperature exceeding the self ignition temperature of the fuel bar and this compressed air is led into a combustion place in the combustion chamber, where the tip of the fuel bar moves into the compressed hot air and ignites and burns therein. The burned and expanded air is led into an expander, which drives the compressor, whereby a running combustion engine is obtained. The invention discloses the details, by which the ignition and combustion of the solid fuel bar in the engine is obtained.
Abstract:
An axial piston device with a plurality of mechanically actuated, rotory valves having their front faces sealing for the control of flows of fluid is suggested for the connection of ports of its housing to ingoing and outgoing passages of a combustion engine or of other pump arrangements, motoring or transmission arrangements. The device includes working chambers which periodically contract and expand their volumes to take in and expel flows of fluid from the working chambers to and through the valves to the ports and for reversed flow direction. The device is thereby specifically suitable for the communication to external combustion chambers which burn coal powder fuel and which are provided with means to remove, in the external combustion chamber or in a passage, unclean particles from the hot gases before they enter into the expander unit of the device. In order to make the device technologically applicable, a number of detailed structures are provided in the device and can include the provision of two revolutionary- or of four- revolutionary cycles to let the chambers be subjected to different fluids at different revolutions of the rotor at a cycle.
Abstract:
In the European patent application publication EP OS No. 0 102 441 a high pressure pump is shown which uses tapered rings (disc spring derivatives) which are clamped together as a pump chamber. The clamping rings required cutting into sections which is expensive and time consuming. The present discoverings now show that the friction at compression of the coned rings was very large. The present invention now discovers that radially flexible ring portions should be provided to the coned ring portions in order to eliminate the friction and to reduce the time and cost of the production of the pump arrangement.
Abstract:
In a fluid pump or motor improvements are provided to the piston shoes therein to permit a higher pressure in the respective device. Other improvements are done to the hydrostatic bearings in radial piston or radial chamber type fluid motors and pumps. A further arrangement is, that plural pistons are applied to permit the use of two different fluids in the respective device. This leads also to the application of disc springs and their modification in a pump or motor to make the pumping of non-viscous fluids like water possible at very high pressure.
Abstract:
An aircraft has a pair of wing portions with propellers of a propeller pair which are driven and synchronized by a fluid transmission between the power plant and the propellers. A fluid line structure keeps most components of the craft together and consists preferredly of three pipes which are also utilized to carry the driving fluid to and from the motors, to hold the motors and to hold the wings. The take over of a plurality of functions by the interior pipe structure reduces weight and secures safe and economic operation of the craft. In the type of the aircraft where this application deals with, a variable pitch propeller may be applied which operates with variable pitch at flight to obtain its best efficiency at the respective speed of flight while the propeller is set with its chord parallel to the chord of the wing or tail when it is retracted into a slot in the wing or tail when another propeller drives the craft forward in leveled flight. This arrangement makes it suitable to apply a plurality of propellers for short way or vertical take off and landing while those propellers which are not needed or would reduce the efficiency at forward flight can be retracted to reduce drag at high speed forward flight.
Abstract:
A hydraulic fluid driving arrangement for land, water or air vehicles includes rotary hydraulic motors driving respective propellers. The motors are arranged in pairs, with the two motors of each pair being on respective opposite sides of the longitudinal axis of the vehicle. One or more hydraulic pump is driven by a prime mover and deliver hydraulic fluid under pressure to two or more separate outlets, with the flows in all outlets being either proportionate or equal to each other, and the outlets being completely separate from each other. One outlet supplies fluid to the motors on one side of the vehicle's medial plane of symmetry and the other supplies fluid to the motors on the other side of the vehicle's medial plane. Respective flow adjustment means may operably associated with each outlet, and may be operated either independently or conjointly. Alternatively, control of the motor speeds may be provided by bypasses. Two or more outputs of the hydraulic pumps may be combined to supply two or more motor supply lines with equal or proportionate flows, with check valves being provided to prevent reverse flow.
Abstract:
A radial piston machine wherein fluid flows through the cylinders which are provided in a rotor, the disclosure provides a radial bearing in the middle between a plurality of at least two radial cylinder groups. Thereby the former bearings which were provided on the ends of the rotor can be reduced to smaller sizes to carry a lower radial load. The provision of the bearing in the middle of the rotor prevents the former miniturization of the control bodies on the ends of the rotor. The control bodies can now be radially enlarged and the restriction of the flow through quantities of fluid through the control bodies is overcome. The devices are now able to operate with a better efficiency and power. In order to obtain these features the medial radial bearing in the middle between the cylinder group must be of the specific structures of this patent application.
Abstract:
A rotary valve with an axially extending passage revolves in a bed of a valve bearing body which has inlet passage means and a fluid transfer channel. The valve controls the periodic flow of fluid from the inlet means to the transfer channel. Fluid pressure containing pockets are provided diametrically of the transfer channel to let the rotary valve member float between opposed pressure fields. Accessary means can be provided to the rotary valve to secure equal forces at equal times on diametrically opposed portions of the outer face of the rotary valve member.
Abstract:
Propellers are provided to drive a vehicle or to bear a vehicle in air. Such propellers have commonly been fixed to wings or fuselages. The fixed locations of the propellers limited the abilities and capabilities of the respective vehicle. The invention now provides arrangements on or to propellers which makes it possible to change the location of the respective propeller relatively to another portion of the vehicle. The change of the location of the propeller in relation to another portion of the vehicle makes it possible to improve the abilities or capabilities of the vehicle. Specifically beneficial effects are obtained by applying the invention to propeller-pairs. Specific relations of locations of propellers to wings or to flow of air in combination with means to pivot portions of the arrangement(s) can lead to better overall efficiencies, speeds, bearing capacities, economy or comfort of the vehicle or of portions thereof.
