Abstract:
A method of converting a diesel engine to a fuel-free and pollution-free pneumatic engine has been disclosed. A conventional diesel engine can be converted to a non-fuel-burning emission-free pneumatic engine. This can be accomplished by using the engine to operate a DC inverted to AC generator and using the AC current to operate a compressed-air device capable of delivering over 500 PSI and CFM enough to operate the engine in place of diesel fuel. Since the diesel engine compresses air to temperatures of about 1000 degrees F. and pressures of about 500 PSI, if one mixes it with cold air at pressures above 500 PSI a violent reaction will occur which will drive the engine piston downwards with force enough that when repeated in accordance with the engine&#39;s firing order it will cause the vehicle to self-propel along a surface.

DESCRIPTION OF RELATED APPLICATIONS 
       [0001]    This application is a continuation-in-part of CO-pending application Ser. No. 11/394,800 filed on Apr. 1, 2006. 
     
    
     BACKGROUND 
       [0002]    This version of the invention is concerned with the field of devices that can be used to convert the conventional diesel engine to a pneumatic engine, which will not give off any green-house gas emissions, nor is there any recurring fuel cost. 
       PRIOR ART 
       [0003]    No example has been found of a prior art device which perform the specified functions of converting the conventional diesel engine to a non-fuel-burning pneumatic engine. However CO-pending application Ser. No. 11/394,800 uses a similar principle in converting the conventional gasoline engine to a non-fuel-burning pneumatic engine. The difference with the present invention is that no heated compressed-air is used to perform the said conversion, since the compressed air in the conventional diesel engine cylinder is already heated to about 1000 degrees F., and a variable speed automatic clutch was also added to the DC inverted to AC generator shown in said CO-Pending Application. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0004]    The present version of the invention, which will be described in greater detail hereinafter, relates to the field of devices that can convert the conventional diesel engine to a pneumatic engine with zero harmful emissions, and zero recurring fuel cost. More specifically, this version of the invention is concerned with an engine conversion package employing a 3-way-valve locomotive type dual action high pressure high CFM compressed-air pump, designed for a new use, to convert the diesel engine to a pneumatic engine. The said air-pump is designed to be light weight and quiet and can deliver above 500 to 1500 PSI, and CFM capable to operate the desired engines, instead of diesel fuel. The invention includes other novel aspects that will be described in detail hereinafter. 
         [0005]    Described briefly, according to a typical embodiment, the invention presents a diesel to pneumatic engine conversion package, incorporating a 110/220/440-volt-AC generator operated by the engine, which was first disclosed in CO-Pending application Ser. No. 11/394,800 filed Apr. 1, 2006. The said 440-volts-AC is used to operate an electric motor which in turn operates the said high pressure duel-action compressed-air-pump. In the present version of the invention the said high pressure air is used instead of diesel fuel to operate the engine. As revealed on page 5 of one of our prior application Ser. No. 10/886,459 filed on Jul. 7, 2004, Pneumatic and Fluid Engines, a science we at JESUS &amp; Bailey call Pneumassism was disclosed. We would like to modify the word to ‘Pneumassvarism which stands for Pneumatic Mass Variation Scientific Methodology’. The original definition stated: “When air or gasses of varying temperature, volume, pressure, and velocity are suddenly mixed under certain conditions, they can cause a natural phenomenon uncontrolled violent reaction. Such uncontrolled violent reaction can be seen in a tornado, cyclone, or hurricane. Accordingly if one can simulate these conditions in a controlled environment such as an engine, said violent pneumassis reaction can be used to produce motion and propulsion, for land marine and air travel, and to generate electrical energy.” We would like to modify the original definition as following; Jesus &amp; Bailey states: “When air or gasses of varying temperature, pressure, mass, velocity, and volume are suddenly mixed under certain conditions, they can cause a natural phenomenon un-controlled violent reaction such as is seen in a tornado or cyclone. If one can simulate these condition in a controlled environment such as an engine, the said natural phenomenon un-controlled violent reaction can be used to cause motion and propulsion for land, air, and marine transportation, and to generate electrical energy; thereby delivering free and clean energy. Accordingly as the cold higher pressure and velocity compressed air is suddenly mixed with the static higher temperature and lower pressure air in the cylinder; said violent reaction drives the piston downwards with force enough, that when repeated according to the engine&#39;s original firing order, it causes said engine&#39;s crankshaft to rotate for its several purposes, such as for use in transportation devices and for generating electrical energy. 
         [0006]    My invention, therefore, resides not in any one of these features per se, but rather in the particular combination of all of them disclosed. This invention does not seek to claim any portion of prior art revealed in the previous applications sighted.

       DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     Description 
       [0131]    Referring now to the drawings and in particular, to  FIG. 1A  wherein there is illustrated a typical embodiment of a dual-action 3-way-valve locomotive type high pressure and CFM compressed-air pump  14 A. The present version of the invention  14 A is designed for a new use to convert the conventional diesel engine to a pneumatic engine, with zero harmful emissions and zero recurring fuel cost. The present version of the invention  14 A is constructed of materials and components that are lightweight, quiet, durable, and resistant to corrosion and oxidization, such as rudder, plastic, aluminum, carbon steel, or stainless steel, various composite materials or a combination thereof. The device  14 A consist of a steel high pressure air-pump cylindrical section  324  machined to mate with a steel high pressure air-pump plunger  322 . High pressure steel pipe  320  is connected to each end of cylinder  324  as illustrated, with reducing cone ends. Air-plunger-shaft  326  is connected to flywheel-lever  328  ( FIG. 14B ) by appropriate hardware to allow lever  328  to move freely up and down, and in and out as flywheel pulley  256  rotates. Said rotating action of flywheel  256  will cause plunger  322  to move forward and backward in a pumping action in each direction. Flywheel  256  is supported by bracket  290  which is appropriately attached to base  312 , which is also appropriately attached to pipe  320  as illustrated. Other end of pipe  320  is attached to 3-way-valve  274  by high-pressure-flanges  314 , as illustrated, or by other appropriate means. Air-plunger-shaft  326  is sealed for air-tight operation through shaft-packing-seal  310  which should allow shaft to move freely while maintaining a air-tight seal. Plunger  322  has pre-cast cone-shape-grove  334 , at contact-points  295  as illustrated in  FIGS. 1A &amp; 1B , to receive rubber-insert-grommet  316 . Rubber grommet  316  makes contact with spring-loaded rubber-stop  297  for quiet operation, and to prevent electrical shock. Automatic-oilier-receiver  330  has a spring-loaded steel-ball which is forced upwards as plunger  322  passes, allowing a small amount of oil to lubricate plunger on each pass. Oil container  331  is screwed into receiver  330 , and is replaced when empty. A conventional oil level indicator can be installed in dash board. Bevel  323  ( FIG. 1B ) is cut on each leading edge of plunger  322  to help it to move freely under receiver  330  mechanism. Spacer-shaft  332  equalizes space at cylinder  324  exit ports, and filter compartment  283  cleans intake air.  FIG. 1A  shows pump in ready position to pump air through port ‘A’, while  FIG. 1B  shows pump ready to pump air through port ‘B’ In each pump position air exit pump at port ‘E’, to air storage tank  268  in  FIG. 2 . 
         [0132]    Referring now to  FIG. 2 , therein illustrated is a typical embodiment of an assembly diagram of a diesel conversion to pneumatic engine  16 . The present version of the invention i6, illustrates the tie-in to the old conventional-diesel-engine. As previously mentioned in CO-pending application control Ser. No. 11/394,800 the engine was used to operate a 110/220/440-volt-AC generator as illustrated, a patent is not sought on that idea, however it is included to show how we will achieve the alternating current needed to operate the said high-pressure compressed-air pump  14 . A slight modification is made to DC inverted to AC generator a variable speed automatic clutch  378  is included. The clutch will neutral the generator at zero Amps, and increases the generator&#39;s speed to accommodate the desired load. Pump  14  is shown mounted on air-storage-tank  268 , and motor  258  is also appropriately installed along with guard  254 , and support-legs  276 . Additionally exit port E connecting line  275  is connected to check valve  272  which is connected to tank  268 . Sensing-line  52  is connected to pressure-control  264 . Additionally 440-volt-AC line  296  is connected to motor  258  via pressure-control  264 . Motor  258  is used to operate high-pressure air-pump  14 , ( FIGS. 1A &amp; 1B ). In addition pressure gauge  266  and manual-shut-off-valve  260  is installed as well as high-pressure-air-line  284 , with reducer as illustrated for quick pressurizing of air-distributor  520 . Installed also is air-regulator  298  to air-distributor  520 , and air-admittance-valves  24  as illustrated. Air-distributor  520  is installed to convenient location on old engine as illustrated for 4, 8, or any other number of cylinders. Pneumatic injector plugs  57  are installed to old engine block in place of fuel injectors as illustrated. Install high-pressure tubing or air-hose  285  to air-admittance-valve  24 , and pneumatic-injector-plugs  57  as illustrated. Air-admittance-valve  24  operates on 24-volts in this example. Remove old fuel accelerator linkage connection, and fuel pump and fuel lines and fuel tank. New accelerator linkage  300  is installed to air-regulator  298  and existing accelerator pedal linkage arrangement  306 . All components mentioned in conjunction with air-distributor  520  was covered in CO-Pending application control Ser. No. 11/394,800 and a patent is not sought for them, however there is one difference in this version of the invention, no heating element is needed for air-distributor  520  since the air in the diesel cylinder is already heated. 
         [0133]    Referring again to  FIGS. 1A &amp; 1B , and, in particular to contact switch  280 , detail (CD), connect wires through knock-out holes  336  ( FIG. 1A ) to terminals  318  on both ends of switches  280 , on either end of cylinder  324  as shown as wires  49  &amp;  50  in ( FIG. 2 ). When plunger  322  makes momentary contact with pointer  295 , switch  280  closes and power will pass though wires to coil on switching solenoid  282  as shown in ( FIG. 2 ). When plunger  322  moves back in other direction, spring  293  will return switch  280  to the normally open position. 
         [0134]    Referring back to  FIG. 2  As power goes to the coil of solenoid  282 ; all contacts are reversed and stay in that position until the coil is powered again reversing the contacts once more. The coil will stay in that position until powered again repeating this action back and forth. Since power is always at the bottom of switch  280 , on line  49 , the coil on solenoid  280  will receive power momentarily from line  50  when plunger  322  makes contact with switch  280  at either end of cylinder  324 . 
         [0135]    Referring again to  FIGS. 1A &amp; 1B , when pump  14  is in the ‘A’ position vent valve V 1  is closed and vent valve V 2  is open so that the plunger  322  will suck air in through vent valve V 2 . When pump  14  is in the ‘B’ position vent valve V 2  will be closed and valve V 1  will be open to suck air in through vent valve V 1 . Solenoid  282   FIG. 2  will control their operation as stated. Solenoid  282  will also control the switching of 3-way-valve  274  from port A to port B in conjunction with vent valves V 1  &amp; V 2 . 
         [0136]    Referring again to  FIG. 2  before attempting to operate vehicle compressed-air-tank  268  must be filled to capacity by an external source, once conversion is made. Tank  268  can also be pressurized by connecting an external 440-volt-AC line to the appropriate internal wires in pressure control switch  264 , by a qualified electrician, and then by turning switch  264  to the ON position. Once tank  268  is fully pressurized air-distributor  520  should be pressurized by setting air-regulator  298  at 520-PSI by adjusting air-regulator idle-adjusting-mechanism  299 . Any other suitable engine idle pressure can be used. When all components are installed and assembled as illustrated, and all air-lines and containers and joints are air-tested and no leaks are found, the engine will be ready to be started. When the accelerator is depressed air regulator will increase the pressure to air-distributor  520  which will cause the engine to increase in speed 
         [0137]    To start engine turn ignition key to start position as normally done. As the starter cranks the engine cold high pressure air will be suddenly mixed with high temperature static pressurized air in engine cylinders causing a violent reaction as explained in the summary of the invention. The said violent reaction will drive the engine piston downwards with force and velocity enough that when repeated will cause the engine crank-shaft to rotate, which will cause the vehicle to self propel along a surface. The compressed air in the diesel engine cylinder will be at about 500 pounds per square inch (PSI) at a temperature of about 1000 degrees F., and the compressed air which replaces diesel fuel will be 520-PSI, and above, and will be at room temperature. When both compressed air differential pressure and temperature and velocity, and mass are suddenly mixed they will causes a violent reaction which supplies the force needed to operate the engine instead of diesel fuel. This will eliminate green-house gas emissions, and fuel cost.
