AN IMPROVED Мотов
Year: 1871

page_text: LETTERS PATENT to Pierre Guzman, Gentleman, residing in Versailles
(France), Rue Satory, No. 12, for the Invention of "AN IMPROVED
Мотов."
Sealed the 16th April 1872, and dated the 25th October 1871.
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Pierre Guzman at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition, on the
25th October 1871.
I, PIERRE GUZMAN, Gentleman, residing in Versailles (France), Rus
5 Satory, No. 12, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
"AN IMPROVED MOTOR," to be as follows:-
I use as a motor the inertia of a body supported by an oscillating
medium through the medium of an elastic action. For example, a
weight is supported by a stand through the interposition of a spring;
when this stand is at rest the weight remains in a determined position;
if the stand receives vertical alternative motions the weight oscillates
and down relatively to the stand, and if the said weight is connected
up

page_text: with the piston of a pump, the cylinder of this pump being fixed on the
stand, the inertia of the weight can be used to drive the piston, the
extent of the oscillations of the said weight being diminished in pro-
portion to the work done.
The oscillating medium or stand may be a ship at sea, it may be
liquid and the sea itself when the body is immersed or floating.
The clastic action may be that of a spring, of steam, of gas, of a
counterweight, or the reaction of a liquid in which the body is immersed
or floating.
The inertia of the body relatively to the stand may drive a pump,
any suitable mechanism, or an indicator. The use of this relative
inertia in oscillations constitutes the dynamotor.
SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Pierre Guzman in the Great Seal Patent Office
on the 23rd April 1872.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I, PIERRE
GUZMAN, Gentleman, residing in Versailles (France), Rue Satory,
No. 12, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Twenty-fifth day of October, in the year
of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and seventy-one, in the thirty-
fifth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors, give
and grant unto me, the said Pierre Guzman, Her special licence that
I, the said Pierre Guzman, my executors, administrators, and assigns,
or such others as I, the said Pierre Guzman, my executors, adminis-
trators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others, from
time to time and at all times thereafter during the term therein
expressed, should and lawfully might make, usc, exercise, and vend,
within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel
Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "AN IMPROVED MOTOR," upon
the condition (amongst others) that I, the said Pierre Guzman, my
executors or administrators, by an instrument in writing under my,
or their, or one of their bands and seals, should particularly describe and

page_text: .
ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the
same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the
Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and imme-
diately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Pierre Guzman, do hereby declare
the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement, reference being had to the accompanying Drawing
forming a part of this Specification :-
My Invention relates to and consists in a new way of transmitting
power. I use for that object the inertia' of a body B, supported by an
oscillating medium A, through the means of an elastic action.
I call elastic whatever action balancing the weight of B will allow the
alternativo motions of A and B. The action of a counterweight, that
of a spring, the pressure of a gas or steam, the reaction of a liquid
or gas in which B is plunged or floating, are elastic actions.
The relative inertia of B in the oscillating medium or support A may
drive a pump, any suitable mechanism, or an indicator. The power
thus partly transmitted is that which causes the oscillations of A.
This mode of transmission constitutes what I call a dynamotor.
I will now describe vertically working pistons as illustrative of and
fully exemplifying my new plan:-
In Figure 1 a main piston B travels in a cylinder A communicating
with the chamber V. Compressed gas fills the upper part of the
chamber, and compressed water transmits the pressure of that gas to the
under surface of the piston B. This surface is so proportioned that the
total pressure transmitted is exactly (or enough so for practical purposes)
equal to the weight of the whole mass resting on B. When the system
of A and V is oscillating vertically, the piston B acts by its inertia and
that of the weights placed on the frame C, and drives another piston D,
by which a certain work is accomplished.
In Figure 2, two main pistons B, B', are connected with one frame
T, T, supporting heavy weights. They are set in two cylinders A, A',
communicating by a tube and filled with compressed water. The
pressure of that water and the area of the pistons are proportioned
with the weights in such a manner that the rolling or pitching mctions

page_text: of a ship on which such a system is located causes the inertia of the
weights to drive the pistons D and D¹.
The dynamotors are such systems as above described, where the action
of the weight is neutralized and the inertia used to transmit power.
In witness whereof, I, the said Pierre Guzman, have hereunto set 5
my hand and seal, this Twelfth day of April, in the year of
our Lord One thousand cight hundred and seventy-two.
