The object OF my pneumatic apparatus is to
charge or I'LL reservoirs or cOmduitS with COM
pressed Wnioftn bodies by means Of some
known mechanical power. The force-pumps
y A., rcfriseratng-pipes T. ~ f''' f''f', and
main reservoir are stationary, as shown in the
drawing, ana the compressed gaseous mediums
are transferred nom the force-pump or pumps
or main pipes, or from this fixed main reSer-
vOir, by means of pipes, tubes stOp-cOcks and
the t,ropar ytTyes and ,li,,cr .,,S -
pendagcs. BY means Of my Invention the conn
pressed gaseous bodies can be used for the ptIr-
poses OF transmitting power, and to reproduce
some considerable portion OF the pOyyer re-
quired for the compression, at the extremity of
the conduit from the condenser or main reSer-
YOir at any desired locality, within any reaSon-
able distance, through any of the convenient
forms of steam engine or pumps orOther mech-
ahlSm suitable lor the purpose, and with or
without the addition OF heat as may he re
qulredi orby detachiug the reservoir from the
~ ~coluelisei me power contained in the COM
pressed air may be used for the purposes OF To-
com0tlon or navigation as well as Tor operating
machinery.
The condenser may consist Of one or more
cNHnders and piStOnS, OF cOncentrlc cylinders
worked by any power and diSchargfng the CON
densed nuid into reservoir or throHgb r,iDes
for use, as aforesaid. F-f~'
