Title: Improvements in and relating to Torpedoes.
Inventor: COOKE CHARLES JOHN
Filed: 1906-07-13
Granted: 1907-07-11
Abstract: 15,911. Cooke, C. J. July 13. Steam generators for torpedoes; steam generation by direct contact of combustion products.-Consists in the employment of thermit for generating, with rapidity, high-pressure steam for driving torpedoes provided with steamengines. One form of steam generator for the employment of thermit is shown in longitudinal vertical section in Fig. 1, means for the electric ignition in succession of charges of thermit being shown in Fig. 3, The boiler a, lined with refractory material j, contains the similarly lined carrier or casing g for the charges of thermit, which are immersed in the water. The casing is provided with apertures h for the escape of the steam, which passes to the end chamber 15 and the outlet through a reducing-valve. The cover b of the boiler is secured by the screwed thimble c and packing d. Feed is supplied to the boiler from an injector 16, which serves also to clear the steam space of water. The charges of thermit are separated by partitions f of refractory material, or they may be suitably disposed in tubes or containers within the boiler. The charges may be ignited by time fuses or they may be ignited electrically, or the ignition may be automatically regulated by the pressure of the steam generated, a fresh charge being ignited each time the pressure falls below a certain point. As shown in Fig. 3, the steam pressure, acting upon the piston 11, forces forward the rod k and the attached pawl m against the pressure of the spring 14. As the steam pressure diminishes, the pawl, in engagement with the teeth of the disk n, causes the contact o to complete a circuit through one of the fingers p and to ignite one of the charges of thermit, an action which continues until the thermit is exhausted. Instead of the thermit being arranged in containers as shown, it may be in the form of cartridges to be ignited by percussion or otherwise and to be projected into the generator. In some cases, the thermit may be contained in one or more suitable receptacles lined with refractory material and ignited as required and subjected to a stream of water in the manner of a flash boiler. To start the torpedo before steam has been generated, the vessel a and the space 15 may be filled with compressed air.
