-Specification Accepted, 9th Mar., 1888
I, ANDREAS GLEMBOWIESKI, Gentleman of Casa Batistin, Via Calvario, Fiume,
Austria-Hungary, 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 invention hereinafter described has for its object improvements in rotary
motive power engines actuated by steam, gas, hot air or other motive power in such.
a manner that the steam or other motive power coming out of one or more pipes, acts
upon Hat or other surfaces on the circumference of a wheel, and sets the latter in
rotation, the steam or other motive power being prevented from escaping by means
of special casings enclosing the outlet pipes which casing or apparatus also covers a
part or the whole of the circumference of the wheel.
In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 shows the improved motor. Figures 2
to 8 show various arrangements of the recesses on the driving wheel hereinafter
described. This wheel A has on its circumference a certain number (varying
according to the size and width of the wheel) of surfaces or recesses F which are so
arranged that the steam, or the hot air, gas etcetera, streams into them and by the
pressure exercised against the surfaces F the wheel turns in the direction of the arrow
Figure 1.
For the sake of brevity I will proceed to describe the motor as actuated by steam.
The apparatus B Figure 1 which surrounds part of the recesses or receivers F on the
wheel A and into which the steam pipes dd open serves to guide the steam which
comes out of the channels gg (see Figure 9) in the interior of the apparatus B into
the receivers F and to keep the steam together within a certain limit. The steam is
generated in the boiler E and passing through the pipes d and the channels acts
on the receivers F gives off its working power to the wheel A and sets the latter in
rapid rotation.
By raising the steam pressure, by increasing the number of receivers F, by
enlarging the section of the steam outlet, or by increasing the number of steam
outlets, the working power of the above described motor can be increased at will;
also by arranging on one and the same wheel A various tires made so that the

page_text: receivers F of one tire or tires are formed in one direction and those of the other tiro
or tires in the opposite direction the direction of the motor can be reversed according
as the steam is furned on to one or the other of the tire or tires.
In this way the reversing of the engine is easily affected. If again the surfaces F
are arranged as in Figure 4 so that the steam acts upon them on both sides by means
of the steam channels gg conducting the steam on both sides thereof, by shutting
steam off from either side the same effect can be attained.
The form of the recesses F on the circumference of the wheel against which the
steam streams can bo varied and can be formed or fitted on the outside inside or side
circumference of the wheel see Figures 2 to 5 or again they can be arranged as
impact surfaces in slit casings of circular triangular or any other section movable
like pistons see Figures 6 to 8.
Figures 6 to 9 show various arrangements of the hollow spaces in the driving
wheel.
In Figure G the wheel is narrowed at the circumference and the casing or
apparatus B surrounds the apertures made in the tire of the wheel A. The steam
passes out of the casing B through the aperture into the hollow spaces in tho
wheel A.
In Figure 7 the tire is rounded off in semicircular form and provided with hollows
into which the steam enters through the aperture /.
In Figure 8 the tire is not narrowed the easing B which as in Figures 6 & 7 is
provided with one or more apertures & surrounds it and thus prevents the escape of
the steam.
In Figure 9 channels are shown through which the steam streams into the
blades of the wheel A and to the hollow spaces formed by same.
The receivers F can also be arranged transposed against each other on the
circumference of the wheel.
It will be obvious that the arrangement of parts as described for a steam motor can
readily be adapted with slight modifications when the other motive powers named are
to be used.
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 :-
:-
1st. The improved motor for utilizing the motive power of steam, hot air, gas,
etcetera consisting of the wheel A provided with so called receivers F with recesses,
flat or other surfaces of any suitable form, on the outer inner or side circumference ;
against which receivers, the steam, hot air, gas etcetera is led by means of an
apparatus B through channels gg which apparatus B covers a part or the whole of the
circumference of the wheel A and is connected by pipes d d with a steam, hot air,
gas or other motive power generator or chamber E so that the steam or other power
has a motive action on the receivers F of the wheel A, the tires having the recesses
or surfaces F inclined in opposite directions, or so arranged as by the suitable
transposition of the direction of the steam or other mofive power the reversing of
the motor can be effected all substantially in the manner herein before described and
represented in the accompanying drawings.
2nd. The improved arrangement and construction of rotary motive power engines
substantially in the manner and for the purposes herein before described and
represented in the accompanying drawings.
