Abstract

High-pressure air distributor with the ability to a reciprocal - piston engine exclusively with the use of air of high pressure. The high-pressure air distributor consists of a shell (4), a rotating shaft (5) and a safety cover (7). On the safety cover lies an entry opening (1) through which high-pressure air is channeled to the inside of the rotating shaft (5) and this air exits through the openings (13) of the shaft to the openings (2) of the shell (4). From the openings (2) the air is supplied to the cylinders of the piston engine. The shaft (5) is provided with movement by the camshaft of the reciprocal - piston engine, having as a result the synchronization of the provision of air from the spot of the spark plug to every cylinder.

Description

High-pressure air distributor for the operation of reciprocal - piston engines.
This invention refers to a high-pressure air distributor that provides reciprocal - piston engines with air for the production of work without the use of fuel.
Reciprocal - piston engines or internal combustion engines are widely known. The function principle of the above-mentioned engines is based on the burning of fuel with the presence of air in the burning chamber, having as a result the expansion of fuels putting pressure on the pistons. The disadvantage of internal combustion engines is that they use as fuel by-products of oil.
Oil has finite reserves and its burning causes irreparable decay to the climate and, by extension, to the composition and form of the planet.
The finite reserves and the pollution of the environment are significant disadva- ntages to the widely used internal combustion engines. Taking into consideration that they are mainly used in mobile applications (e.g. automobiles), the need for development of new technologies for the protection of the environment is considered imperative. Furthermore, the consumption of the finite fuel reserves over the course of time should seriously be taken into consideration.
According to the invention it is feasible to transform an internal fuel or air combustion engine so that it can operate with the use of high-pressure air without the existence of combustion. Furthermore, it is possible for any reciprocal - piston engine that is based on the design principles of internal combustion engines to operate in the same way.
This is accomplished with the addition of a distributor that supplies high-pressure air to the cylinder in a fixed order. To make this completely comprehensible it is essential to compare it with the order in which ignition takes place inside the cylinders of a typical internal combustion engine. In essence, at the point that the combustion of the fuel in a cylinder would take place, in the case in point there will be insertion of high-pressure air into the spark plug, through the distributor. For the synchronization of the air provision to the cylinders the distributor derives movement from the camshaft of the engine. With the use of the distributor in any internal combustion engine we can accomplish production of work without fumes that are harmful to the environment. In addition, the production of high-pressure air can be accomplished in many ways, providing the opportunity of independence of fuel with a finite reserve.
This invention can be entirely comprehended through the following detailed description in connection with the attached figure, in which:
The first figure depicts the perspective side of the high-pressure distributor.
The component parts are assembled as in the real function of the distributor, the second figure depicts the distributor disassembled, showing the parts it is comprised of.
The first figure presents a perspective of the distributor, showing its main characteristics. The distributor is supplied with high-pressure air that enters through an entry opening (1) and the air is provided to the cylinders through the exit openings (2). For every cylinder corresponds an exit opening (2).The exit openings (2) are as many as the cylinders of the engine. For the synchronization of the air provision to the cylinders the shaft of the distributor derives movement from the camshaft of the engine.
More analytically, the distributor consists of the shell (4), the rotating shaft, the airtight rings (6) and the safety cover (7) of the shell. On the distributor's shell are the exit openings (2) where flexible high pressure tubes are placed through which air is channeled to every cylinder separately. The air comes into the cylinders through the spark plug. The engine's spark plugs are removed to allow the flow of air to the cylinder. The shell (4) holds a suitable formation (10) for the placement of the distributor on the engine. The shaft (5) has a variable diameter throughout its lenght. It is comprised of the connection part (9) with the camshaft, which is propped on the propping formation (8) of the shell (4).The part (12) of the rotating shaft (5) has the openings (13) for the exit of air to the cylinders. Within the part (12) of the shaft there is a suitable formation for the entrance of air through the opening (14) and its exit to the openings (13). Airtight rings (6) are placed at the openings (13) to avoid the leak of air to the inside of the shell (4). Between the openings (13) and the airtight rings (6) it is feasible to place springs to make it as airtight as possible. The springs push the airtight rings (6) to the shell. The place of the openings (13) on the rotating shaft (5) and the place of the openings
(2) on the shell (4) is particularly important for the proper function of the engine. Basically, with the rotation of the shaft (5) in combination with the place of the openings (2, 13) the synchronization and the right provision of air to each cylinder is achieved. The safety cover (7) makes the shell (4) airtight so that there can not be any leak of air. In addition, it helps to prop one of the sides of the shaft. Finally there is an opening on the safety cover where air enters, through a high-pressure tube, to the distributor and the air is channeled to the opening (14) of the shaft (5).
