AUGUST BRAGHT, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
MEANS OF PROPELLING VESSELS.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 259,998, dated June 27, 1882.
Application filed November 1,1881. (No model.)
that the following is a full, clear, and exact de-- scription of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming part' of this specification, in which the figure represents a longitudinal section of a vessel with my improved propelling devices applied thereto.
The object of myinvention is to propel avessel or car by the action of currents of water or steam forced from a suitable reservoirin the vessel or from a steam-boiler in the car and impinging against each other in the stream in which the vessel floats or in the air surrounding the car, whereby the vessel or car is propelled, as hereinaftermore fully set forth.
In the accompanying drawing I have represented my improved device as applied to the propulsion of a vessel, in whichit represents the hull of the vessel, provided with a water-reservoir, 1), into which water is.
forced by an ordinary force-pump (not shown in the drawing) or by any other water-forcin g apparatus.
0 represents a tube or pipe secured to the bottom of the water-reservoir b, and connected at its lower end by the interiorly-screw-threaded pipe-coupling d, with the horizontal pipe 0 screw-threaded exteriorly at its ends and provided with a cock, h.
70 represents a pipe-coupling screwed upon the outer end of the pipe 6, and l Z represent branch curved pipes screwed into the opposite ends of the pipe-couplingk and thence curved around, so that these discharge ends lie close to and directly opposite each other. By this construction a current of water being forced from the water-reservoir I) through the tube 0 will pass thence into the horizontal pipe 6, and
thence (the cock hbeing open) will be divided into two currents, passing through the pipes Z l, which will impinge against each other and against the water in the stream and propel the vessel. To the opposite screw-threaded end of the pipecoupling d is secured an opposite in one direction, and by closing the first cock;
and opening the other the motion of the vessel will be reversed.
A car or boat may be propelled upon the same principle by arranging a tube vertically on the top of a steam-boiler or on the top of a water-reservoir on the car or boat and forcing steam or water through said tube, and thence through horizontal tubes having branch tubes intersecting each'other at an angle, whereby the currents of steam or water are forced violently against each other in the open air, and thus propel the car or boat.
. When steam is employed as the propellingpower for a boat or car the currents of steam which strike against each other to propel the boat or car must always impinge against each other in the air.
What I claim as new is 1. In. a vessel or car, the combination of a reservoir, as b, with pipes leading fore and aft therefrom, and provided at their ends with branch pipes diverging and then approaching each other, so that currents of steam or water escaping from said branch pipes will impinge upon each other, substantially as described.
2. The combination, with the vessel a, provided with the reservoir b, into which water is forced, of the tube 0, pipe-coupling d, pipes c 6, having cocks h h, curved branch pipes l l, and pipes m n m it, having their open ends intersecting each other, substantially as described, and for the purpose set forth.
AUGUST BRACHT.
