    摘要: Radial impulse engine, pump, and compressor systems are disclosed herein. In one embodiment of the invention, an engine includes a first end wall portion spaced apart from a second end wall portion to at least partially define a combustion chamber therebetween. In this embodiment, the engine further includes a plurality of movable wall portions disposed between the first and second end wall portions. Each movable wall portion includes a cylindrical surface extending at least partially between a distal edge portion and a pivot axis. Upon ignition in the combustion chamber, the distal edge portion of each movable wall portion slides across the cylindrical surface of the adjacent movable wall portion as the movable wall portions pivot outwardly in unison about their respective pivot axes.

    摘要: The present invention concerns a method for operating and arrangement of a pneumatic piston engine. The pneumatic piston engine (1) includes a cylinder (2) including a piston (3) kinematically joined via a crank (4) to a crankshaft (5) and a working chamber (6) supplied with a means (7) for supply of compressed air and a means (8) for exhaust of air. The starting of supply of compressed air is realized while the piston (3) is in the region within the range from 40null before top dead center to 25null after top center by angle of rotation o the crank of the crankshaft depending on engine speed, and the ending of supply is realized while the piston (3) is in the region within the range from 0null to 90null after top dead center by angle of rotation of the crank of the crankshaft. In particular case when engine speed is 2.12 snull1, the optimum mode of operating is achieved provided that supply of compressed air starts when the piston (3) is in position of 2null before the top dead center and ends when the piston (3) is in position of 5null after the top dead center by angle of rotation of the crank of the crankshaft. The invention provides decrease of specific fuel consumption approximately by a factor of 5-6 and simultaneous increase of the piston specific power.

    摘要: An actuator for at least translationally or linearly moving an object from a first position to a second position displaced from the first position is disclosed. In one embodiment, the actuator includes a strip of shape memory alloy configured as a coil wound about a first rotatably-fixed member, the strip having first and second end portions, the first end portion being interconnectable to the first rotatably-fixed member and the second end portion being operatively associated and/or interconnectable with the object to be moved, and a heating assembly adapted to heat at least a portion of the strip of shape memory alloy from a first temperature corresponding to the strip being in a martensitic state to a second temperature corresponding to the strip being in an austenitic state, the second temperature being above a martensitic/austenitic transformation temperature of the shape memory alloy. Such heating of the strip to the austenitic state results in at least radially-outward and arcuate movement of the second end portion of the strip which, in turn, may move the object translationally.

    摘要: A gas engine with a gas supply device contains a substantially bell-shaped aluminum intermediate housing open on one side and provided with fins on the interior and exterior. A cylinder of the gas engine with good thermal conduction properties and a sleeve accommodating a pressurized gas container having good thermal conduction properties are fastened to this intermediate housing. A gas supply conduit leads from the pressurized gas container to the gas engine. A gas superheater conduit structure is in thermal communication with the intermediate housing and situated at the beginning of the gas supply conduit. The thermal unit formed jointly by the intermediate housing, the cylinder, the sleeve surrounding the pressurized gas container and the gas superheater conduit structure permits operation of the gas engine under all practically arising ambient temperatures without damage to the gas engine, since this thermal unit prevents the gas in the gas engine from condensing back to its fluid or even solid state.

    摘要: A compressed air propulsion system is provided to be adapted for use with a vehicle, and comprises a transaxle mechanism adapted to be mounted to and driven by the vehicle wheels, and an air compressor coupled to the output shaft of the transaxle mechanism to be driven thereby. The air compressor supplies a flow of compressed air to an air distributor system connected to the vehicle engine. The air distributor system comprises a plurality of solenoids connected to the air lines leading to the engine cylinders, and a respective plurality of microswitches are electrically connected to the solenoids to sequentially operate the solenoids for sequentially supplying compressed air to the engine cylinders. The microswitches are sequentially actuated mechanically by a rotor secured to the distributor shaft, which is coupled to the vehicle crankshaft. An accelerator is also provided for controllably varying the flow rate of compressed air to the air distributor system.

    摘要: A method of pressurizing a closed-cycle engine includes performing a non-steady state operation in which a working fluid flows to or from a pressurized tank: i) to or from a plurality of sumps defined by respective ones of a plurality of cylinder-piston assemblies of the closed-cycle engine; or ii) to or from one or more air bearings associated with each one of the plurality of the cylinder-piston assemblies; or iii) both and performing, before and/or after performing the non-steady state operation, a steady-state operation in which the working fluid flows through the plurality of sumps and the one or more air bearings along a steady-state loop that is fluidly decoupled from the pressurized tank.
