Description: |
| Patented in Great Britain, patent #GB-189011062.
AbstractThis invention relates to that class of engines which derive their power from the expansion produced by the combustion of sprayed or atomized hydro-carbon in the cylinder. The objects of this invention are to insure an abundant supply of air to support combustion in the cylinder with the least expenditure of power; also to provide means whereby the liquid fuel is delivered into the combustion chamber in a finely divided state most favorable to quick combustion, also to provide novel means for regulating the speed of the engine by automatically varying the amount of liquid fuel which is fed to the combustion chamber; also to construct an incandescent burner which will instantly ignite the combustible mixture which is injected into the combustion chamber; also to improve the engine in various other respects.
Claim:
The combination with a cylinder provided with a valve guarded air inlet, a piston which moves forward while said inlet is open, and then rearward after it is closed for compressing air thus supplied to the cylinder, of a spraying device within the cylinder and a pump which forces a charge of liquid fuel through and from said spraying device into said cylinder in a finely divided condition fit for immediate combustion in the presence of the compressed air substantially as set forth.
