Title: Automatic Electric Generating Systems.
Inventor: NEWSTETTER MALCOLM ADRIAN
IPC: H02J7/34
Filed: 1909-04-29
Granted: 1909-10-14
Abstract: 10,198. Newstetter, M. A. April 29. Systems of charging and discharging galvanic batteries.-A dynamo driven by an internalcombustion engine is automatically connected to a battery and the ignition system of the engine is completed when the battery potential falls to a predetermined point, while the dynamo and ignition circuits are broken when the battery is fully charged. Means are also provided for releasing the compression in the engine until the dynamo running as a motor attains a cert tin speed. Across the battery 3 is placed a volt-meter 4 provided with fixed contacts 9, 16 and a movable contact 8 formed by the needle of the volt-meter. The contact 8 is connected to one side of the battery, and is arranged to place the magnet 5 across the battery when it engages with the contact 9, and to place the magnet 5<a> across the battery when it engages with the contact 16. The pivoted armature 10 carries contacts arranged, in one position, to bridge the contacts 12, 13, thereby connecting the dynamo 2 to the battery 3, and completing the ignition circuit of the engine. When the battery potential falls to such an extent that the contact 8 engages with the contact 9, the magnet 5 is energized and the armature 10 attracted to bridge the contacts 12, 13. When the battery potential rises to such an extent that the contact 8 engages with the contact 16, the magnet 5<a> is energized, and the armature 10 attracted to open the contacts 12, 13, thereby disconnecting the dynamo and breaking the ignition circuit. When the machine 2 is first connected to the battery, it runs as a motor driving the engine 1, and the compression in the engine is released, until the momentum of the fly-wheel is sufficient to carry the piston over the compression point, by a pet-cock 19 operated by a centrifugal governor 17, the cock being arranged to be open until this momentum has been attained.
