Secured to the engine casing as at 18 are opposed annular bearing members 19 and 20, each of the latter having ears 21 abutting upon the engine casing. The outer rims of the members 19 and 20 are provided with a plurality of openings through which pass radial journals 23 rigid with a ...
Said engine crankshaft is carried on ball bearings 59 and 60 in the crankcase, the crankpin 61 having a conventional connecting rod system 62 upon which a piston 63 is borne to reciprocate in the cylinder 10, bearing upon the bore of the sleeve 21. While I have described my invention ...
1972. While these sealing grid systems are practical and effective, they are relatively expensive and in small engine applications, as for example, lawnmowers, chainsaws and the like, may reduce the competitive advantages over conventional small reciprocating piston engines. One reason for the cost...
GAS TURBINE ENGINE The engine 10 comprises a compressor section 12, a combustion section 14 and a gas turbine section 16. The compressor section 12 receives and compresses air which discharges into combustion section 14. Fuel is introduced into the combustion section where it burns to produce com...
Internal combustion rotary engines illustrate one example of an energy efficient alternative to a conventional reciprocating piston-type engine. Internal combustion rotary engines are known to provide a relatively high power output for a relatively small physical engine size. Furthermore, due to the rota...
Another object of the invention is to provide a propeller of the above description wherein the cylinder and piston are located between the engine and propeller, so as to concentrate the weight thereof close to the bearings that support the propeller shaft and so as to permit of the use of ...
