ROBERT SCOTT 92 Shield Street Newcastle on Tyne Grocer and Provision
Dealer do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
APPLICATION OF AIR, WATER, OR, OTHER FLUIDS AS A MOTIVE POWER to be as
follows:-
I use a horizontal cylinder which is connected with a perpendicular cylinder, the
horizontal cylinder possesses branches or arms, upon each branch there is a piston
and a rod, the rod presses against the front or or other suitable part of the carriage
required to be moved, The perpendicular cylinder contains a piston and rod, this
rod is attached to a wheel or other suitable appliance and which acts as a fulcrum,
when the energy is forced into the cylinder the piston rod is forced down upon the
wheel and partly places the the hinder weight of the carriage upon this wheel or
fulcrum, the energy that raises the carriage upon the fulcrum also pressess forward
the piston rods in the horizontal cylinders and gives motion to the carriage
drawing the fulcrum wheel at the same time.

ROBERT SCOTT 92 Shield Street Newcastle upon Tyne Grocer and Provision
Dealer I do hereby declare the nature of my invention for IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
APPLICATION OF AIR, WATER, OR OTHER FLUIDS AS A MOTIVE POWER and in what
manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained
in and by the following statement:—
My invention has for its object the continued displacement of the equilibrium
of the pressure of a confined energy, The accompanying drawings represents
sections of three cylinders with piston and piston rods. A section of main
cylinder B B curved cylinders CCOO piston and piston rods at the ends of main
cylinder D D pistons at the sides of main cylinder E E E E pistons at each end of
the curved cylinders F F strap or belt connecting curved cylinders G check valve
for inlet of air or other fluid H front part of carriage I back part of carriage. In
my Provisional Specification I mentioned an arrangement by which I used the
carriage of the wheel as a fulcrum, when this method is adopted, instead of the
main cylinder being straight it is curved and rests upon a piston and the piston
rods rests upon the wheels, I have not shown this arrangement in the drawings
as it can be easily understood.
The main cylinder is filled with compressed air or other fluid, and the pistons at
each end are pressed against the front and back part of the carriage, and thereby
establishing an equilibrium, The curved cylinders are also filled with water or
other fluid and the confined energy in the main cylinder presses against the
pistons attached to the sides of the main cylinder, thereby compressing the water
in the curved cylinders and transferring a side pressure to a forward pressure,
without disturbing the equillibrium of the pressure upon the pistons of the main
cylinder, by this means the general equilibrium is displaced a greater pressure
being in the front than the back thereby giving motion.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the said is to be performed, I declare that what
I claim is
1st. The permanent displacement of the equilibrium of the pressure of a
confined energy.
2nd. Transferring a side or perpendicular pressure to a forward pressure.
