Abstract
A means of transport has a secondary engine 2 driven by compressed air which assists the main engine 1 when accelerating. The compressed air is supplied from a tubular air tank or tanks (3 see fig 3) accommodating a piston or pistons (4 see fig 3) which have a pressure retaining mechanism such as springs (5 see fig 3). The compressor 8 has a gear drive mechanism (9 see fig 2) which is engaged to a gear mechanism (10 see fig 2) on the inside rim of the rear wheels (11 see fig 3) of the vehicle and the load required to drive the compressors 8 is imposed on the rear wheels (11) slowing the vehicle down. The compressor 8 is driven by the main engine's 1 available load when the engine 1 is idling and compressor 8 being connected to the main engine 1 by a drive mechanism such as a belt 15.
Description
A Means of Transport with A Secondary Means of Power
Example
This invention relates to a means of transport where in some cases the load required to slow the vehicle down and the available power from the main engine when idling is not totally used, also in some cases the chassis of the vehicle serves no other purpose than to support the body of the vehicle, A means of transport with a secondary means of power
Description
The present invention refers to a means of transport with a secondary means of power in addition to the main engine (1) the secondary means of power is generated from the secondary engine ( 2) which is driven by compressed air requiring a separate air tank of tubular shape to be fitted to vehicles which adopts this modification where as new vehicles could have a chassis of tubular shape (3) which could not only serve the purpose of supporting the body of the vehicle but can also be used as the air tank or tanks, further it is proposed that the tubular chassis -come air tank -would accommodate a piston or pistons (4) with a retaining mechanism such as springs (5) the springs initially making the void (6) into which the air is to be compressed is at a minimum and being restricted from total abutment by the piston stops ( -.
18), the load required to drive compressors (7 and 7a, 7a being on the opposite wheel) is supplied by the load required to slow the vehicle down, compressor (8) being driven by the load available from the main engine ( 1) when the main engine is idling, The load mechanism which is used to slow the vehicle down is by a load being imposed on the wheels of the vehicle and preferably on the rear wheels by engaging the drive (9) of the compressors (7 and 7a) onto the gear mechanism 10 on the inside rim of the wheels 11 and ha the load required to drive the compressors being imposed on the wheels of the vehicle slowing the vehicle down then on acceleration the compressed air is released and drives the secondary motor (2)the secondary motors (2) drive gear ( 9) can be engaged to any drive part pf the vehicle but preferable being engaged to the flywheel ( 12) of the main engine then in turn assists the main motor ( 1) when accelerating.
In order to co-ordinate the flow of air to the secondary motor (2) as described above valves have to be operated which can be either done manually or mechanically.
Taking the vehicle from a stationary position with the main engine (1) running with no pressure on the accelerator the compressor (8 ) being engaged by the drive mechanism (15) to the main engine ( 1) and with the release valve (13) being closed air will be
S
compressed into the air tank (3) via the none return valve (14), on pressure being applied to the accelerator the none release valve ( 13) will open taking the load of the main engine (1) and at the same time the release valve ( 16) on the output pipe ( 17) will open releasing the compressed air to drive the secondary engine (2) the secondary engine being engaged to the flywheel ( 12) will provide secondary power to the main engine (1) when accelerating When the vehicle is required to slow down and pressure is taken of the accelerator the release valve ( 13) will close and the drive from the compressors (7 and 7a, 7a which operates on the opposite rear wheel) being engaged (9) preferably to the running gear on the inside of the rear wheels (10) the compressors will compress air into the air tank ( 3) via the none return valve ( 14) , air will continually be compressed into the air tank or tanks (3) from compressor ( 7and Ia) while there is no pressure on the accelerator and the vehicle is still moving such as when the vehicles Is slowing down the air tank or tanks being charged continually up until the vehicle comes to a stand still subsequently there is available load of compressed air to drive the secondary engine which can assists the load required to accelerate the vehicle from a stationary position Further the load required to operate the compressor ( 7 and 7a) being imposed on the rear wheels slowing the vehicle down, the pistons (4) in the air tank (3) being preferable retained by springs (5) provide instance pressure in the air tank ( 3) the pistons in the first instance being virtually abutted against each other being retained by the piston stops (18) from total abutment, on the tank or tanks being charged with compressed air from the compressors the pistons will expand away from each other the springs creating instance resistance adding further load on the driving gear of the compressors which in turn imposes a further load on the wheels of the vehicle further slowing the vehicle down and at the same time charging the air tanks or tanks with compressed air until the vehicle a stop.
The air tank or tanks having a secondary external outlet connection provides for the use of various air tools such as tyre pump, spray guns, jacks, socket guns etc. further the air tank or tanks having a secondary input connection which makes provisions for the tanks to be charged from an external connection such as a garage compressed air supply or even a foot pump.
