Benefits of technology

The invention uses a piston to compress air and send it to a cylinder, where it is heated by the movement of the piston. This heated air is then used to change a small amount of water into steam, which expands and pushes the piston back. This motion is then converted to a rotary motion, which can be used to power an engine. The invention introduces a new and readily available low-cost fuel for engines, without causing combustion.

Problems solved by technology

But I also saw that combustion was only one possible process in heat conversion for a machine.

Embodiment Construction

[0013]One preferred embodiment of the invention is as the well known four-stroke engine, though a two-stroke engine serves as well as another acceptable embodiment of the invention. The invention has a structure much like that of a compression-ignition engine, a “diesel” engine, and its operation is also rather imitative of such an engine. The three sheets of drawings which form the base for this detailed description present four figures of the engine's structure.

[0014]FIG. 1 shows the engine as the four-stroke embodiment, showing a sectional view of the engine seen from the front. The entire figure exhibits the three main areas of the engine. The central area is the core area of the engine, comprised of a cylinder block 6 enclosing a movable piston 8 in the “intake” stroke, the piston 8 midway in its motion downward. The upper area, known as the head, is the area where the operation of valves is performed and managed. The lower area, known as the crankcase area, is where the recipr...

Abstract

A compression vapor engine which, being at its core a cylinder and piston, the latter attached to a rotary wheel, moves the piston to compress air, thereby heating it; introduces water to the compressed air, converting it from liquid to vapor, water to steam; and uses the expanding steam to move the piston reciprocally: all organized as a reciprocal cylinder-piston engine creating continuing rotary movement which can be made to do work.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATONS[0001]NoneFEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH[0002]NoneSEQUENCE LISTING[0003]NoneTECHNICAL FIELD[0004]The present invention is related to steam engines, and to internal-combustion engines of the electric spark plug or other electrical ignition type, and to internal-combustion engines of the compression-ignition type, though it has no function or action of ignition or combustion. It is therefore related to CLASS D15, SUBCLASS 2, which is a non-defined “Steam type.”BACKGOUND OF THE INVENTION[0005]It is written that when he was a young man, in 1873, Rudolf Diesel enrolled in mechanical engineering studies in Augsburg, Germany. One day, in the physics laboratory at the school, he was shown a device called a “pneumatic lighter.” It was a small cylinder, rather like a bicycle tire pump with a plunger. Its barrel was made of glass so one could see through it, and when the plunger pushed air through it, the air was greatly compressed and consequently acquired ...
