Abstract

The engine consists of a transmission shaft 3 coupled to a wheel with slots in which floats 1 slide with a dual motion: a rotation about the axis of the wheel, and an alternating motion along the slot 2. A fixed cam 5 guides the floats, which are watertight and resistant to the pressure of the fluid progressively filling the basin whose walls form the motor casing 9. The slots in the wheel act as levers and multiply the power of the thrust from the floats which are rising about the axis of the wheel. Rollers are used to enable the floats to move with little friction. The fluid level has to reach 4/5 of the diameter of the wheel, whose balance is upset by the off-centre circular path of the floats.

Description

La présente invention concerne une machine à mouvement rotatif utilisant l'énergie produite par la pression d'un fluide. Cette machine est composée de flotteurs Fig.l et 2 (1) étanches résistants à la pression sous-marine du fluide0 Ils ont une forme compacte et hydrodynamique.Ces flotteurs sont animés d'un double mouvement
- Ils coulissent par un systéme de chariots qui diminuent le frotte- ment dans des lumières Fig.l (2) cul sur des rayons de la roue Figol et 2 (8) dont l'axe est couplé à un arbre de transmission Fig.l et 2 (3) qui est maintenu mu bSti moteur Pig.l et 2 (9) par des paliers
Fig.2 (4). Les lumières ou rayons de cette roue doivent 8trie en nombre suffisant pour permettre un mouvement continu et une poussée constante qui lui sera transmise par les flotteurs.The present invention relates to a rotary movement machine using the energy produced by the pressure of a fluid. This machine is made up of Fig. 1 and 2 (1) waterproof floats resistant to the underwater pressure of the fluid. They have a compact and hydrodynamic shape. These floats are driven by a double movement
- They slide by a system of trolleys which reduce friction in lights Fig.l (2) ass on spokes of the Figol wheel and 2 (8) whose axis is coupled to a drive shaft Fig.l and 2 (3) which is held mu bSti Pig.l motor and 2 (9) by bearings
Fig. 2 (4). The lights or spokes of this wheel must be sorted in sufficient number to allow a continuous movement and a constant thrust which will be transmitted to it by the floats.

- Ils circulent, à l'aide d'uinaxe Fig.2 (7) muni à chaque extr8mité d'un système de roulement, dans la came fixe Figol et 2 (5)g Leur course guide par la came fixe est circulaire et décentrée de l'axe de la roue. Pour décentrer leur mouvement rotatif sur l'axe de la roue se
Les flotteurs se déplacent dans les lumières (ou sur les rayons) do la roue vers la position que leur transmet la came fixe, au plus près de l'axe de la roue (position de plongée) ou au plus éloigné de l'axe de la roue (position ascendante) Le guide Pig.4 (6) de la came fixe, circulaire, est disposé de chaque c8té de la roue de façon symétrique.- They circulate, using a pin Fig. 2 (7) fitted at each end with a rolling system, in the Figol fixed cam and 2 (5) g Their guide travel by the fixed cam is circular and offset of the wheel axle. To center their rotary movement on the axis of the wheel
The floats move in the lights (or on the spokes) of the wheel towards the position transmitted to them by the fixed cam, closest to the axis of the wheel (diving position) or farthest from the axis of the wheel (upward position) The guide Pig.4 (6) of the fixed, circular cam is arranged on each side of the wheel symmetrically.

Elle est fixée au bati moteur.It is fixed to the engine frame.

Par ce moyen de levier, la fonction des lumières (ou des rayons) est de multiplier la puissance de la poussée des flotteurs ascendants sur l'axe de la roue. La multiplication de la poussée sur les flotteurs ascendants permet facilement la plongée des flotteurs situés sur les lumiéres (ou rayons) opposés. By this lever means, the function of the lights (or spokes) is to multiply the power of the push of the ascending floats on the axis of the wheel. The multiplication of the thrust on the ascending floats easily allows the diving of the floats located on the opposite lights (or spokes).

Toutes ces parties fixes et mobiles sont fixées dans le bassin dont les paroiscomposent le bâti moteur. Il est proportionnel à l'importance de la machine. All these fixed and mobile parts are fixed in the basin, the walls of which compose the motor frame. It is proportional to the importance of the machine.

Lorsqu'un fluide est introduit dans le bassin et atteint le flot teur Fig.6 (A) la poussée de ce flotteur vers le haut, en positiom as- cendante, maintenu par la came fixe au plus éloigné de l'axe de la roue, transmet à celle-ci sur laquelle il est couplé, un mouvement. When a fluid is introduced into the basin and reaches the float Fig. 6 (A) the thrust of this float upwards, in ascending position, maintained by the fixed cam farthest from the axis of the wheel , transmits to it on which it is coupled, a movement.

La roue guide la poussée vers le haut en un déplacement rotatif. Les flotteurs ainsi mis en mouvement et guidés par la came fixe se présentent à tour de rôle soit en position de plongée au plus près de l'axe de la roue, soit à l'extrémité de la lumière en position ascendante. The wheel guides the thrust upwards in a rotary movement. The floats thus set in motion and guided by the fixed cam are in turn either in the diving position as close as possible to the axis of the wheel, or at the end of the light in the ascending position.

La poussée produite par les flotteurs ascendants étant supérieure à la résistance produite par les flotteurs en position de plongeai la roue tourne.The thrust produced by the ascending floats being greater than the resistance produced by the floats in the diving position, the wheel turns.

Le fluide devra atteindre un niveau correspondant environ aux quatre cinquieme du diamêtre- de la roue. La puissance et la vitesse de rotation de la machine sont directement liées à la longueur des lumières (ou des rayons), an volume et au nombre des flotteurs, au nombre de rondes couplées sur l'arbre de transmission. The fluid should reach a level corresponding to about four-fifths of the diameter of the wheel. The power and the speed of rotation of the machine are directly linked to the length of the lights (or spokes), the volume and the number of floats, the number of rounds coupled on the drive shaft.

l'arrêt de la machine s'obtient par évacuation du fluide ou par le déplacement de la came. the machine is stopped by evacuating the fluid or by moving the cam.
