Granted: 1912-02-08
Abstract: 3701. Morris & Lister, Morris, D. K., and Watson, E. A. Feb. 14. Influence machines. - The insulated carriers and field members are made to conduct only at right-angles to the direction of their relative motion, and means are provided for momentarily connecting any field member either directly or indirectly with an approaching carrier while the carrier is under the influence of another field member. The charges are collected from each of the carriers while they pass from a field member having a potential less than that of collection by the normal gap voltage of the machine to one having a higher potential than that of collection. In the machine shown in end view and section in Figs. 3 and 4, and diagrammatically in Fig. 1, a concentric system of carriers b and field members a is used, connexion being made by oblique conductors l. The members are divided into groups such as to give four potential steps between successive collecting-points, and equipotential points are preferably connected by conductors m. Insulating disks c, d, either of which may rotate, support the carriers and field bars and connexion is made by balls i which are pressed by springs on to the end of the bars b and are connected to the bars a by oblique strips l bearing on the spring-retaining screws k. At alternate collecting-points, the carriers are connected, by means of spring- pressed balls, to a condenser, which may consist of plates f, fl, separated by an insulator and mounted on the disk c. At two collecting- points a<1>, a<2>, the condenser connexions are omitted and the carriers are connected to the next field bars in advance, which are thereby given an excess potential. The excess potential may be obtained alternatively by a separate exciting generator, pile, or condenser which is charged at each revolution with the collection voltage and is constructed so that its capacity is reduced during the revolution; or an extra step may be given in the potential raising process. The output voltage of the machine may be controlled by controlling the magnitude of any potential step and also by varying the number of steps between the collecting-points. In the modified machine shown in Fig. 5, the ends of the bars a, b are reduced and bent so that contact between them is made by rollers o, which are carried by the disks p, q and transmit motion to the supports d of the bars b. Connexion to the condenser f, g and the equipotential connectors r is made through the screws which carry the rollers. In alternative arrangements, the bars may be embedded in or covered with insulating material and they may be arranged in parallel planes instead of cylindrically, as shown. The machine casing may be filled with compressed or refrigerated air or gas or with an oil. The machine is suitable for ignition in internal-combustion engines, insulation testing, and wireless telegraphy.
