FR2675082A1 - Device for allowing a diesel motor vehicle, with dual traction and four wheels, to drive over stretches of water without sinking - Google Patents

Abstract

The invention relates to a device for making a diesel motor vehicle with dual traction and four wheels drive over deep water. It consists of a compressor (2) driven by a mechanical engine (1) of the vehicle with the aid of a belt. The highly compressed air in the reservoir (5) coming from the compressor will be delivered with great force to the outlet of the valves V1, V2, V3, V4. These are arranged so as to create an antagonistic force against the resultant of the sum of the first (prime) forces, and the vehicle will tend to rise up. The forwards displacement of the vehicle is obtained by virtue of the speed developed by vaned turbine wheels (paddle wheels), fixed to the drums.

Description

DESCRIPTION
The present invention relates to a device for running a four-wheel, double-traction diesel self-staring vehicle on deep water.

The device includes a compressor driven by a
motor using a belt. An air filter can be used at the suction to remove impurities. A pressure regulator can be used between the compressor and the tank to keep the desired pressure constant.

According to particular embodiments:
- A tank can be provided to store compressed air by the compressor. This tank can be provided with four valves: V1,
V2, V3, V4. instantly remote-controlled by a steering wheel using a mechanical link from the same steering wheel.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention well:
Figure 1 shows in section, the device according to the invention.

Figure 2 shows the resulting additive force exerted by the air flow at the outlet of the discharge valves.

FIG. 3 represents the resulting force antagonistic to the force of gravity.

FIG. 4 represents the application to the wheel of a turbine blade disc.

Figure 5 shows in section, the bottom view of the vehicle.

 With reference to these drawings, the device comprises a compressor (2) driven by the mechanical engine (1) of the vehicle using a belt. The compressor draws air into the atmosphere through an air filter ( 3), and the tablet in the reservoir (5) via the regulator (4) which constantly ensures the desired pressure. The pressure gauge (6) indicates the set pressure. The compressed air tank provided with 4 air delivery valves V1, V2, V3, V4, at constant pressure. The four valves are instantly remote-controlled using a mechanical link, (8).

According to the embodiment according to Figure 1, one can provide another reinforcement valve V5 of discharge pressure in the middle of the
chassis of the vehicle which will also be mechanically remote controlled by another mechanical link (9) from the same steering wheel. The strongly compressed air in the tank by the compressor driven by the vehicle engine will be forced back at the outlet of the valves. Then these are arranged so their air outlets generate divergent air flows creating a resultant force additive to the force of gravity acting on the water as illustrated in FIG. 2. It follows that the weight of the water will create an antagonistic force against the result of the first forces and the vehicle will tend to lift.

 According to the embodiment which we illustrate in FIG. 4, to create a displacement of the vehicle forwards we have provided for the construction of the turbine discs with blades (10) fixed to the drums, and by driving them at high speed, the speed thus developed by these vane turbines, which take water in front and rejects it from behind, added to the opposing force will create a resultant force driving the vehicle forward.

 Note that to create the forward movement of the vehicle, the resulting force shown in Figure 3 should be much greater than that shown in Figure 3. We will therefore have: R3> R2.

 According to the representation illustrated in FIG. 5, one can see, by the bottom view, the arrangement of the 5 compressed air delivery valves and the arrangement of the turbine discs with blades fixed on the drums of the four wheels of the vehicle.

 The device according to the invention is particularly intended for running a four-wheeled double-traction diesel motor vehicle on deep water without sinking.
