Title: Improvements in Compounding Alternate Current Generators and Motors
Inventor: HEYLAND ALEXANDER
Filed: 1901-12-10
Granted: 1902-11-27
Abstract: 25,221. Heyland, A. Dec. 10. Dynamos, regulating; motors, controlling.-To enable a self-exciting alternating-current generator or motor to yield or work at a constant potential, the main current is passed through a suitable winding on the rotor. Fig. 1 shows the application of the invention to an ordinary synchronous generator having a stationary armature S and a bipolar rotating field R. Upon the rotor R is mounted a winding similar to a Leblanc " Amortisseur," and this winding is connected with a commutator to which current is supplied by brushes B in series with the main winding of the stator S. In the case of a synchronous generator, Fig. 3, no special winding is required, the main current being supplied to the ordinary rotor winding by means of an additional pair of brushes B. Such a machine may also be used as a motor. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, two pairs of brushes are employed, one in connection with the main winding I of the stator, and the other in connection with an auxiliary winding 1. By arranging the auxiliary winding 2, Fig. 5, so that its electromotive force is displaced a quarter period relatively to that of the main winding I, the additional pair of brushes may be dispensed with. The application of the last arrangement to two-phase and three-phase machines is illustrated in the Specification.

Title: Improved Automatic Carbide Feeder for Acetylene Generators
Inventor: WEBSTER WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-01-06
Granted: 1903-07-02
Abstract: 301. Webster, W. Jan. 6. Acetylene. -Consists of automatic means for controlling the supply of carbide to the water in a generator. The carbide is fed through au aperture 3 in a receiver 1 to a tray 4, which is pivoted at 15 and discharges upon a shoot 5 pivoted at 6 and supported at the other end at 7. A baffle-strip 14, which is also pivoted at 15, limits the amount of carbide which is fed upon the shoot 5. In operation, the descent of the dome 9, together with the feeding-apparatus, causes the rod 8 to strike the bottom of the generator and tilt the shoot as shown in Fig. 2, so as to discharge the carbide and raise the baffle 14 and tray 4. At the same time, a projection on the shoot 5 lifts a weighted lever 12, which oscillates a double-ended spike 10 and thereby ensures a fresh supply of carbide to the tray 4. When the feeding-apparatus is fixed, the rod 8 is arranged to pass upwards, as shown in dotted lines, so as to be operated by the dome when it descends.

Granted: 1903-11-12
Abstract: 8194. L³hne, J. April 8. Gas-producers. - To maintain the vapours at a high uniform temperature and to prevent the formation of tarry products, two concentric generators A, B are employed, the outer one A being charged through the hoppers 1, 2, and the inner one B being preferably provided with a movable chamber C and a carburetter C<1>. The chamber C is packed with h pumicestone, iron slag, calcium carbide, or other refractory substances for reducing, filtering, and fixing the gas produced in the exterior generator A. Horizontal firebars or grates are employed for anthracite and dry coal, and sloping firebars for bituminous coal, brown-coal, peat, &c. A cap G, Fig. 2, for collecting and mixing the gases for reduction is arranged above the generator B, and may be extended to the level of the fuel, in which case the vapours accumulating between the generators A, B are brought down through pipes and reintroduced into the incandescent material. The cap G also assists the carburetting process. The liquid of hydrocarbons, preferably petroleum with addition of alcohol, xylol, &c., are introduced by a pipe 5 into the perforated carburetter C', which is packed with iron slag &c., and surplus liquid escapes by the receiver 6 to the reservoir 7. The vaporized hydrocarbons escaping through the perforated tube C<1>, mix with the gases produced in the generator A, and descend through the incandescent contents of the movable chamber C to the outlet pipe C<2>. Mixed gas is carburetted either by forcing it from the generator into the retort, or vice versÔ, thus enabling the first condenser of distilling retorts to be dispensed with. Chambers for heating water or generating steam may be arranged in the walls or on the top of the generator A. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the water is converted into steam in the perforated pipe 9, and mixes with air, which enters at 12 and is heated by contact with the distributing plate F. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 3, for manufacturing gas from liquids, the hydrocarbons discharge from pipes 1, 2 on to the surfaces of a chamber A heated by the furnace D, the gases traversing, as indicated by the arrows, the generator B and the chamber C. When heavy hydrocarbons are employed, alcohol is preferably added thereto.

Inventor: EWART JOHN WILLIAM
Filed: 1903-04-24
Granted: 1904-02-18
Abstract: 9248. Ewart, J. W., and Ewart, G. H. April 24. Water-heaters, gas. - Boilers for supplying boiling water for making tea &c., intended especially for use in refreshment houses, are heated by gas burners in a conical chamber in the bottom of the boiler from which a flue passes through the water. The gas supply is regulated by a rubber diaphragm j, covering a hole made in the boiler and forming one side of a chamber into which the gassupply pipe leads. When the pressure in the boiler reaches a certain value, at which the water just boils, the diaphragm pushes a cone on it into the gas pipe. A safetyvalve r is set in the top of the flue. A warming- chamber is formed in the top of the boiler, and is provided with a grating on which plates may rest. On opening the cock k, water is forced up the pipe l and drawn off. The funnel p catches any drippings, and the water is removed from the hot-closet by the drain cock q. The expansion valve s allows free passage of air and closes when steam is generated in the boiler. The feedwater vessel d is filled from the main supply, and the ball cock e prevents the pressure in the boiler from forcing the water back ; according to the Provisional Specification, a long U-tube may be used for the purpose.

Granted: 1904-02-18
Abstract: 9691. Denayrouze, L. April 29. Incandescent vapour lamps.-In lamps of the type described in Specifications No. 22,098, A.D. 1899, No. 11,665, A.D. 1900, and No. 6974, A.D. 1902, the capillary action of the wick B, which feeds the oil to the vaporizing-chamher a, may be increased or supplemented, when a closed reservoir A is used, by the pressure in the reservoir of vapour generated in a tube G, surrounding the wick-tube C, and closed at its upper end, the vapour descending through the loose wick F into the reservoir. The vaporization is effected by heat conducted by the mantle-supporting rod D or D<2>, supplemented if necessary by an additional rod E. The lower ends of the rods dip into a readily-fusible alloy in a cup H. When starting the burner, the ignition of alcohol in the cup K heats the wick-tubes C. G and the fusible alloy in the cup H, and vaporizes the spirit in an asbestos-packed vessel L. The vapour from this vessel escapes by the tube k to the bunsen burner e', and, being ignited, initially heats the conducting-rods D, E. The melting of the alloy in the cup H liberates a rod attached to the valve l, which may then be turned to allow the vapour from the chamber a to issue from the nozzle to the burner e<1>. The air supply to the inlets d in the burner is regulated by turning the hit-and-miss valve e, and the conduction of heat to the alloy in the cup H is controlled by turning the hooked end E' of the rod E, either away from, or beneath, the heat-collecting cap D<1> of the mantle rod D.
