Abstract: 15,493. Valda, A. H. June 28, 1911. Direct explosion, air, or steam apparatus.- Relates to the propulsion of boats, torpedoes, and other vessels by the reaction of jets of water forced rearwards by explosive or compressed gases, and consists in forming the power conduit of successively enlarging diameter and with large sleeve valves for the easy admission of water. Upon the conduit 1, Figs. 1 and 3, slotted valve sleeves 5 coact with slots 1<a> for the admission of water from the surrounding water chamber. A similar slotted sleeve controls the exhaust from the combustion space. The sleeves are coupled by links to an internal sleeve 9, one part of which is provided with air inlet ports 25 adapted to coact with the ports 26. The cover or end plate 12 has an extension formed internally with a valve 14 controlling the supply of petrol from the pipe 17 to the ports 15, which are provided with baffles or spraying-devices. A non-return valve 20 prevents cushioning of the sleeve 14. The airsupply pipe 22 leads into a casing 24, the ports 25 of which are closed during an explosion by the segmental grip 28, which normally rests clear of the casing. The sleeve 9 is moved outwards by air supplied to the recess 31. By coupling the sleeve to a fly-wheel 38 or like device, the momentum of the wheel effects the return movement of the sleeve. The valve 14 is moved by the sleeve 9, rods 40, and a crosspiece 39, adjusting-screws being used. The sparking-device 43 is disposed within the recess 46 in the casing 10 and is timed by the spring 45 contacting with the projection 34<a> on the lever 34. Into the recess, fuel and air are supplied by pipes 47, 48, the valves of which are opened at the correct time by the links 54, firing taking place when the port 49 in the sleeve 9 is opposite the recess. The exhaust gases, or a part of the gases, exhaust by the ports 50, 51 and pipe 52, any remaining gases acting as a cushion to the water and keeping the combustion head dry. When starting, compressed air is used, the petrol being turned on when the combustion head is dry. Specification 6591/08, [Class 114, Ships &c., Div. II.], is referred to.
