Description:
Abstract:

Inclosed in the vessel, box, or reservoir A is placed, and revolves the submerged overshot waterwheel B, in such a manner as to leave sufficient room for the free circulation of the water in said reservoir. By means of the pipe C, which is provided with a stopcock D, the steam is conveyed from the steam-boiler; andl, through a small orifice in the nozzle E of said pipe, a jet of steam is thrown into the conical tube or pipe F, carrying with it and introducing therein simultaneously a certain quantity of atmospheric air, by the momentum whereof buoyancy and motive power is given to the wheel.

Claim:

The manner of combining steam and air for the purpose of giving motive power to the wheel B, consisting in a jet of the former being thrown from the nozzle E of the pipe C into the pipe F, simultaneously introducing therein a quantity of the latter, which together are discharged through the lower orifice of said pipe F into the buckets of the wheel, and, displacing the water therein, causing said wheel to revolve, in combination with the pipe G, through which the hot air is drawing from the top of the box or reservoir into the pipe F, and reintroduced with the steam into the box at its bottom, thus using it repeatedly over again.
