Improvements in the Vaporizing and Igniting Devices of Petroleum
Engines!
I, HENRY GEORGE WILSON of 15 Terrace Road South Hackney London England
Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
The object of this invention is a contrivance as shewn by the accompanying drawing
for the gassification of the petroleum and. for the ignition of the petroleum-gas-
mixture and of air in petroleum-motors working with four times motion.
The cooled compression-space, a is continued by the port a¹ on the wall of which is
fixed the chamber c in the centre of which a tube d is inserted and heated from the
outside to à red heat by à flaine passing round it through channel d'.
Immediately at the commencement of the suction stroke the reciprocating rod
opens the valve ê and sprays à ineasured quantity of petroleum into the red-hot tube d
by the heat of which it is evaporated. At the same time a charge of air is drawn
through the valve h and on the compression stroke the air is compressed into the
port al mixes with the vapour already formed making an explosive mixture and is
ignited by the redhot tube d causing the explosion which forces down the piston p.
At the exhaust stroke the products of combustion or residue left from the explosion
passes through the port a¹ into the tube d and into the open air through the valve n.
The hot products of combustion or residue passing through the hot tube d increases
the temperature of the tube d making ready for firing the next charge thus doing
away with the necessity of keeping the tube heated from the outside after the first
two or three explosions thereby making the tube fire automatically.

Improvements in the Vaporizing and Igniting Devices of Petroleum
Engines.
I HENRY GEORGE WILSON of 15 Terrace Road South Hackney in the County of
London Engineer do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in
and by the following statement :-
The cooled compression space a shewn in the drawing filed with my Provisional
Specification is continued by the port a' on the wall of which is fixed the chamber c
in the centre of which a tube d is inserted and heated from the outside to a red heat
passing round it through channel d¹.

page_text: On the suction stroke the reciprocating rod opens the valve e which sprays a
measured quantity of Petroleum into the red hot tube d by the heat of which it is
evaporated. At the same time a charge of air is drawn through the valve h and on
the compression stroke the air is compressed into the port al mixes with the vapour
already formed making an explosive mixture and is ignited by the red hot tube d
causing the explosion which forces down the piston.
At the exhaust stroke the products of combustion or residue left from the explosion
passes through port a' into tube d and into the open air through the valve n.
The hot products of combustion or residue passing through the hot tube d increases
the temperature of the tube making it ready for firing the next charge thus doing
away with the necessity of keeping the tube heated from the outside after two or
three explosions thereby making the tube fire automatically.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention
and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I claim is
A contrivance for the gassification of the petroleum and for the ignition of the
petroleum gas mixture and of air in petroleum motors working with four times
motion.
