CONVEYING POWER TO A DISTANCE BY COMPRESSED AIR
Year: 1884

page_text: JOHN GOODE Blacksmith Colwall Stone Nr Malvern Herefordshire and do
hereby declare the nature of my invention for CONVEYING POWER TO A DISTANCE
BY COMPRESSED AIR to be as follows:-
My invention is two Machines A and B machine connected to each other by a
pipe which air passes through and ascend or descend to the place whre the power
is wanted to do work without cost of coal or attention fix A machine where the
supply of water is the water passes through inlet No 1 then up compartment N° 2
then down No 3 and up No 4 and along No 5 over water wheel driving it round
and turning air wheel on the same shaft No 6 air wheel being inside water
tank No 7 taking air down under water and emptying it in to air Box No 8 then
air passes through pipe No 9 and pressing on water in compartments No 2 and N° 3
and compliety stopping water supply when B machine is stopped work also
stopping A machine and pounding up water till wanted to do work by B machine
the water is used acording to the power to do work by B machine nore less the
air passes through pipe No 10 to B machine and pass in to air chest No 11 then
through inlet No 12 right or left which is open say right the water being at centre
level in B machine the air presse on the water on the right side and drive it down
to low level on the right side and up to High level on the left side causing air
chamber N° 13 to float first one side then the other as the velve works to let air
in moving lever backwards and forwards on which is fixed a connecting rod to
crank shaft on which is fixed a fly wheel for a belt to run to drive any machienry
that may be required the power can be convaied from incny places to one
B machino if required for great powers also small ones can be made for pumping
water B machine can be made with iron or copper A machine can be made with
iron or wood and iron a valve or tap in the pipe will stopp the machine the friction
is almost nothing so that rivers and streams and ponds can be utilised at a distance
with little loss of power.

An Improved Apparatus for Conveying Power to a Distance by
Compressed Air.
JOHN GOODE Colwall Stone N Malvern Herefordshire Blacksmith do hereby
declare the nature of his invention for CONVEYING POWER TO A DISTANCE BY
COMPRESSED AIR and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be
particularly described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
My invention is two machines the air Generator and the air motor connected to
each other by a pipe which air passes through to the place where the power is
wanted the power can be conveyed from streams and rivers to a distance by fixing
the air Generator where the supply of water is and the air motor where the power
is wanted the water passes through inlet N° 1 then up compartment N° 2 then
down N° 3 and up No 4 and a long N° 5 over water wheel driving it round and
turning air wheel N° 6 on the same shaft inside water tank N° 7 taking air down
under water and emptying it into air Box N° 8 the air passes through pipe N° 9
and presses on water in compartments N° 2 and N° 3 stoping water supply when
the air motor is stopped work and storing up water till wanted the water is used
by the Generator according to the power wanted to do work by the air motor more 1
or less the air passes through pipe N° 10 to the air motor and pass into air chest
No 11 then though inlet N° 12 right or left which is open say right the the water
being at centre level in the air motor the air presses on the water on the right side
and drive it down to low level on the right side and up to High level on the left
side causing the air chamber N° 13 to float first one side then the other as the as
the valve works to let air in moving a lever backwards and forwards on which is
fixed a connecting rod to crank shaft on which is fixed a fly wheel for a belt to
run to drive any machinery the air motor need not be of large size as thay can be
driven to a High speed and High pressure the motion of air chamber drives the
water packing out from the centre with such force that it cannot blow out the 2
friction is very little the motor can be driven by steam if required the motor can
be driven in either direction by maly changing a pin or fitted with reversing Gear
the air motor can be made of iron or copper the Generator can be made of iron or
wood and iron a valve in the pipe will stop the air motor.
Having now particurly described and ascertained the nature of my said a
invention and in whot manner the same is to be performed I declare that whot
I claim is
The way in which the air is Generated by the air wheel N° 6 taking air down
under water and emptying it into air Box N° 8 and the way in which the water

page_text: supply is stopped by the air pressing on water in compartments N° 2 and N° 3
whot I claim in the air motor is the air chamber connected to the shaft by two
iron rods the air chamber working in the space between the centre Box which is
open at the botton and the out side case and the packing with water and the frame
work which is fixed to the centre Box I claim the air wheel N° 6 and air Box N° 8'
the way in which the water is stopped the air Chamber N° 13 and the centre Box
and the packing with water and frame work which is fixed to centre Box.
