Pneumatic mechanical power source

An mechanical power system provides torque without using a heat engine where fossil-fuel engines have conventionally been used, by replacing the fossil-fuel burning engine with a rotary pneumatic motor and feeding pressure-regulated compressed gas to the rotary pneumatic motor. The rotary pneumatic motor can be used anywhere, and requires preferably compressed nitrogen in a non-liquid state. Automotive, marine and electrical generating applications are adaptable, and auxiliary power is available for emergencies where a supply of compressed gas has been exhausted. A screw-type compressor can be electrically powered to supply compressed gas to the pneumatic motor where tanks of compressed gas have been exhausted. An electrical generating power plant includes an array of solar panels for generating direct current (DC) and a DC/AC converter for converting the DC to alternating current (AC) and outputting a portion of the AC via a power plant output port to supply an AC load.

1451265 Hydrodynamic transmission control GENERAL MOTORS CORP 11 July 1974 [30 Aug 1973] 30704/74 Heading F2W In a hydrodynamic torque converter transmission the power absorbing capacity of the converter 12 is varied in dependence on the position of a throttle control 63 for the fuel feed to an engine 11 (shown as a single shaft gas turbine) and also is varied as a function of the speed of the converter input shaft 34 (driven from the engine output shaft 17 through gearing) so that the power capacity of the converter will always equal or be less than the engine output power. The variation is effected by varying the angle of the torque converter stator blades 44 through rotation of a shaft 53 by the arrangement illustrated in Fig. 4. In Fig. 4 an input driven pump 76 supplies fluid at a pressure regulated by a valve 81 to a governor 88 which has, as its output, input speed dependent pressure. The pump 76 also supplies pressure to a variable throttle 101, 102 whose valve member 101 is moved by throttle control 63 to vary the pressure in the chamber 172 of a spring 182 biased servo 157. In series with servo 157, and connected to its piston-rod 181 is a further spring biased servo 158 which receives pressure from the governor 88 via a speed signal control 116 in the form of a variable throttle 134, 136 and a spring biased servo which varies the throttle opening on dependence on the governor output pressure. The two servos 157, 158 move together to rock a lever 213 and vary the vane angle through a servo 216 which rotates shaft 53 through lever 222. In operation initial movement from the closed position to an intermediate position of the throttle control 63 does not directly control the engine fuel supply, which is determined by a bell-crank control 108 having a lost-motion connection 106 with the lever 63, and which maintains the engine at a governed idling speed, but opens throttle 101, 102 to supply the servo 157 with pressure, which causes the vanes 44 to be opened ...

The compressed-air engine

The invention relates to a compressed air engine for propelling a motor vehicle without emitting carbon monoxide. It consists of a turbine, of a compressor, of an electric motor and of an air circuit with its tank. When the pressure in the circuit is insufficient, an electric motor drives the compressor which supplies air to the tank. When the pressure has become sufficient, a pneumatic cylinder uncouples the compressor from the electric motor in order to couple it to the turbine by virtue of the gear on the end of each of the shafts of these members. With sufficient pressure, the driver opens a tap then the air goes from the tank to the turbine passing through a metering valve connected to the accelerator pedal. The air blowing into the turbine exerts a force on the immediately opposite blade of the rotor. The turbine rotor, subjected to a couple rotates through an angle about its axis, presenting the next blade to the jet of air; and so on, the rotor rotates with a flywheel at its other end on which are fixed the clutch mechanism and clutch disc which are driven. If a gear is engaged the movement is transmitted to the drive wheels which propel the vehicle. During operation the compressor, integral with the rotor pumps air so that a sufficient pressure is always available. The compressed air engine is particularly intended for propelling motor vehicles.

Hybrid vehicles

When the internal combustion engine is used to drive a vehicle, the waste heat from such engine is utilized as a source of energy to generate electricity which electricity may be stored in suitable storage batteries and thereafter such batteries may be used to drive an electric motor.

Vehicle powered by a fuel cell/gas turbine combination

A hybrid electric vehicle (10) powered by a combination fuel cell (22) and a gas turbine (26) driven generator (24). The fuel cell (22) is sized relative to the gas turbine (26) and the vehicle (10) such that up to about 50 percent of the vehicle's maximum sustainable power is supplied by the fuel cell (22) electrical power output. This relative power source size achieves improved fuel consumption compared to vehicles powered by combustion engines without the cost penalty associated with a fuel cell large enough to power the vehicle. At low power requirements, the fuel cell (22) efficiently provides all or most of the vehicle's (10) power requirements. As the power requirements increase, additional fuel is burned in the gas turbine (26).
