UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE.
JACOB T. WAINWRIGHT, OF PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA.
GENERATING MOTOR-VAPOR FOR ENGINES.
SPEGIFIOATIQN forming part of Letters Patent No. 274,423, dated March 20, 1883.
Application filed December 18, 1882.
(No model.)
To all whom itmcy concern:
Be it known that I, J AGOB T. VVAINWRIGHT, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, have invented certain Improvements in Generating Motor- Vapor for Engines, of which the following isa specification.
My invention relates to that class of motivepower engines in which the motive-fluid used is generated by mixture of air and liquid or gaseous fuel, which is ignited and the products of com bustion brought into contact with water, so as to produce a vapor of air, gas, and steam, to be used in operating an engine of suitable construction.
My invention consists in an improved method of and apparatus for generating and utilizing the motive-fluid, as more fully described hereafter.
The figure in the accompanying drawing is a view, partly in section, of the apparatus which I prefer to use in carrying out my invention.
A represents a small air-compressing engine, seen in end view, and havinga vertical outletpipe, B, bent downward again at some distance .from the compressor, and terminating in a perforated end, B, withinalarger U-shaped tube, I, forming a water-chamber. Through the upper bend of the pipeB passes the nozzle of a pipe, 0, for admitting hydrocarbon or equivalent liquid or gas, and within the pipe B, immediately below this nozzle, is arranged a series of sieves or wire-gauze netting, D, which may also be provided with sponge. Immediately below the netting is an opening, E, closed by a damper or valve on the outside. The U-pipe I may be supplied with water through a suitable pipe, M,and from thelatter leads a pipe, K, to the inlet-chamber of the engine L, which may be of any suitable construction; or the pipe Kmay lead to any other point where the motive-fluid-is to be utilized. A small branch or return pipe, P, provided with valve, connects the pipe K with what pipe 0, forced by and with the air through the sponge and sieves, whereby they are thoroughly mixed, and the resultant mixture of air and gas is then ignited by the insertion of a light through the opening E, which is immediately closed, the sieves also acting, like the sieves in a safety'lamp, to prevent any back action of the flame. The ignited air and gas mixture then passes through the fine perforations H in the end of the pipe B, andis forced through the water in the tube I in finelydivided streams, heating the liquid and producing a mixture or vapor or air, gas, and steam, which passes 011' through the pipe K to the engine L or other point where the motivefluid is to be utilized.
I do not wish to confinemyself to the precise construction and combination of devices shown, as they may be varied without departing from my invention; but
I claim as my invention- 1. The mode herein described of generating motive-fluid, said mode consisting in forcing air and liquid or gaseous fuel through sieves, igniting the mixture after its passage through the same, and bringing the products of combustion into direct contact with water, all substantially as set forth.
2. The combination of an air-supply pipe having an inlet-nozzle,O, sieves, and an opening,'E, with a water-chamber in which said pipe terminates in a perforated end,'substantially as set forth.
