I, EDWARD HOYLE, of 1 Pleasant View, Longfield Road, Todmorden, Cabinet
Maker, 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 main feature of my invention is an enclosed fire or flame, the products of
combustion being the motive power. The figure shows the application of the
principle in one particular form only. A is a strong receiver, into which
atmospheric air may be pumped or otherwise forced to any pressure the engine is
desired to work at. B is a pipe which conveys air from the receiver A into the
air-space C, whence it passes through the furnace D into the air-space E, and
thence through the pipe F to the engine. On the pipe B is a stop-valve, G, and
also a throttle-valve, or other regulating device, H. On the pipe F also is a
regulating device, H', which acts simultaneously with that on the pipe B. At I is
an inlet for air, and at J is an outlet, or chimney. When the fire is sufficiently
intense, and it is desired to start the engine, the openings I and J are effectually
closed. The stop-valve G is opened, and the air passes from the receiver A,
through the furnace D, into the pipe F, which pipe leads to the engine. The
pressure in the pipe F will be the same as that in the pipe B; but the volume of
gases passing through the pipe F will be much greater than the volume of air
passing through the pipe B, so that the engine will be able to supply air to the
receiver A, and keep up the pressure required; and so long as this is done the
rush of air through the fire or flame will follow as a consequence, and the motion
of the engine will be continued so long as air and fuel are supplied. The air may
be forced through the fire or flame the reverse way to that shown in the figure, or
in any other way or direction that may be desired. The engine may take, but not
necessarily, the form of the ordinary double-acting steam engine, and may work
expansively. It must, however be so constructed as to work freely notwithstanding
the heat, smoke, and dust of the flame or furnace; or otherwise a sieve, receptacle,
or other purifier may be placed between the engine and the flame or furnace, so
that the gases may pass to the engine as free as possible from solid matter.

page_text: Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what I
claim is :
1. An enclosed fire or flame through which atmospheric air is forced, either by
itself or in conjunction with some composition, combustible, or explosive, or some
inflammable or non-inflammable substance, either separate or in any combination
whatever, for the purpose of obtaining motive power, the power to be used for
marine propulsion without the intervention of machinery, if desired, or for
reciprocating, rotary, or other motora, land and marine.
2. The use on this principle, that is, on the principle of an enclosed fire or
flame, of coal, wood, gas, oil, spirit, saltpetre, tallow, tar, wax, refuse, or any
combustible, explosive, or inflammable substance whatever, as fuel, each with an
apparatus suitable for its use.
