Abstract
163,791. Merz, F. Feb. 24, 1920. Buoyancy motors.-A buoyancy motor comprises a series of floats attached to an endless chain and immersed in a liquid, which are successively rendered buoyant by the introduction of a liquid which vaporizes at the temperature of the surrounding liquid. The casing consists of a U-shaped chamber 1, two pipes 3, 3<1>. and an upper chamber 5, and is partly surrounded by a jacket 14 in which warm gases may circulate. The working liquid is forced into the openbottomed floats 25 through an inlet box 13 with an automatic spring-controlled valve by means of the pump 12 which is operated by a cam gear from the driving shaft 16 so as to make one stroke as each float passes over the inlet box. The working liquid evaporates and expels the surrounding liquid rendering the vessels buoyant. The valves 27, the heads of which are made hollow, close under the pressure of the vapour, but open when the floats reach the surface of the liquid. On the descent, the valves remain open and the liquid rises in the floats until it reaches the valve which tends to float and thus closes. The vapour which escapes from the floats at the top of the apparatus is led to a condenser 8, whence it is drawn by the pump 12 to be used again. The motor may be worked by heating the liquid in the casing, or by cooling the condenser, or by both methods, according to the nature of the working liquid.
