Instantaneous generators.-A flash or instantaneous steam generator suitable for self-propelled vehicles, launches, and similar appliances in which it is desired to regulate the formation of steam at the will of the operator, is shown in side view in Fig. 6. The furnace or heating-device produces and utilizes vaporized hydrocarbon ; the vaporizer is shown in Fig. 7. Sets of inner and outer tubes t<1>, t, Fig. 3, are coupled together by tee or H-joints and hollow plugs to form a continuous capillary water space a and are arranged within an outer case which is divided into three main chambers A, B, C. The chamber A encloses the heating - apparatus, the middle compartment B contains the body of the generator, and the third compartment C forms a passage for the heated gases to the atmosphere. The tubes t, t<1> are connected at both ends by the tee-pieces c and the hollow plugs d, and the last pair of tubes in the top row are connected to one or more steam drums D. Water or other fluid is fed to the generator by a pump connected to H. A stop valve is attached to the piece F, and a safety-valve to the piece G. Pressure burners 5 to heat the inside and the outside of the tubes in combination with oil-fed vaporizing-tubes 3 are arranged within the central -compartment B of the enclosing-casing. The vaporized oil passes from the oil supply pipe 4 to the chamber 1, to the chamber 2 through the tubes x and the regulating- taps y, and to the burners. To commence the process of vaporization, a suitable lamp is attached to the inner side of the hinged door M closing the casing. The heating-apparatus may be withdrawn from the generator as far as the sliding bolts n, Fig. 4, in the single tubes l will allow. When the steam pressure rises, a fan or bellows operated by the engine supplies air under pressure to the air chamber 6, whence it passes through the wire-gauze screens of the burners 5, and becomes mixed with the vaporized oil. The oil supply pipe passes through the end of the vaporizing-chamber, and is connected externally to a telescopic pipe, which has two regulating-valves, one with a bye-pass regulating the oil supply. A telescopic vapour pipe connects the vaporizing-chamber 1 with the top of the supply tank.

Raising liquids by or against centrifugal .force.- Relates to means for transmitting motion from one shaft to another at a variable-velocity ratio, applicable in connection with windmills, waterwheels, &c. A wheel or drum on one shaft is employed to set in rotation a body of liquid the motion of which is imparted to a paddle-wheel immersed in the liquid and secured to the other shaft. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the wheel A<1> on the shaft A serves to whirl round the liquid in the chamber F, and the motion of the liquid is imparted to a wheel B<1> on the shaft B. The speed of the driven shaft may be regulated by varying the height of the liquid in the chamber; this may be effected automatically by means of a governor acting on a displacer E in an auxiliary chamber. Fig. 3 shows an arrangement in which the liquid is contained in a drum G on the driving-shaft, which is provided with vertical ribs G', and the driven wheel is provided with vanes B<3> made adjustable radially in order to vary the speed. In another construction, the vanes are not adjustable but the wheel as a whole may be moved along its shaft. Another arrangement for coupling shafts at right-angles is shown in Fig. 4 ; here the vanes B<3> are secured on the ends of pivoted arms and are immersed more or less in the liquid under the action of the governor. These pivoted paddles may be replaced by a conical paddle-wheel movable axially along its shaft. The drums may be provided with air vessels.
