PERSONAL TRANSPORT: GROUND, WATER, AIR
Hydromobile. Personal transport Directory / Personal transport: land, water, air The thermal plant designed by Omsk engineer G. Osadchim uses steam pressure on a mirror of water displaced from a reservoir. The water (or rapidly evaporating liquid) filling the closed evaporator is heated by any heat source. Pressurized fluid can be fed into hydraulic motors on boats, catamarans, cars, or into raging fires, garden beds, etc. Osadchy proposes to install on the car four interconnected (connection method is "know-how") heat engines of his design. Hydraulic motors - without gears - will turn the wheels of the machine. The source of energy for the engine are burners - gas or kerosene - heating the evaporator. The mode of operation of these burners will determine the power of the engine. Vehicle speed can also be changed by adjusting the flow of liquid from the evaporator to the hydraulic motors. What attracts in the "hydromobile"? First of all, the hydraulic motor. Structurally, it is simpler than a connecting rod-piston system with a crankshaft and camshafts. The internal combustion engine is removed from the wheels, and the hydraulic motors can be placed directly next to them, so there is no need for a transmission, clutch, gearbox. They will be replaced by pipelines, which can also serve as elements of radiators. Repair and maintenance of the machine will be simplified - capricious fuel distribution systems and spark plugs will not be needed. According to G. Osadchiy's estimates, the real efficiency of a heat engine is five percent higher than that of an internal combustion engine, and the fuel consumption is correspondingly lower. It is important that the Osadchy engine is practically silent, its exhaust is much more harmless than that of an internal combustion engine. A well-adjusted burner gives almost complete combustion of gaseous fuel. For the supply of stationary installations - for heat pumps. various kinds of sprinklers, etc. - propane, exhaust gases from thermal power plants can be used. Firefighters, in particular, should be champions of thermal jet engines. Installing Osadchy as a fire engine is extremely economical - it does not require energy at all. Imagine, a thermal water cannon was brought to the place of a forest fire and installed on the shore of a reservoir. The end of the pipe filled with water is placed directly into the fire - this is enough. The hotter the fire flares up, the more intense the water in the tank evaporates, the stronger its pressure. The fire starts to extinguish itself. For more than ten years, Gennady Borisovich has been engaged in thermal devices. Odin and, in collaboration with V. Slobodyanyuk, created 125 inventions on hydraulic and fuel automation and hydraulic machines (AS No. 1 569 419, 1 566 065, etc.). But none is accepted for production. Gennady Borisovich bitterly wrote about this in IR (10,89, p. 17) and asked to be included in the Guinness book, believing that his record deserved fame no less than, say, the fattest person. More than half a year of hard work was spent by the inventor on the creation and debugging of the first prototype. It is good that no special materials are required for a heat engine: ordinary metals are needed in combination with heat-resistant glass and ceramics. There was also an opportunity to implement his ideas: the inventor left the "defense industry", which required all the time and effort. Sponsors began to help financially - the Omsk cooperative "Evrika" paid for the manufacture of two experimental engines. Now G. B. Osadchiy in the small enterprise "Prioritet" is closely involved in thermal engines, but he would be glad of any cooperation with the luminaries - "thermal engineers" - it's hard to pull such a load alone. Once, the inventive merits of G. Osadchy nevertheless received official recognition. At the contest "Search and Resource Saving", which the Moscow Basin Research and Development Center for Water Transport held not so long ago, he was awarded a prize for his search work on the creation of a heat engine.
In the upper part of the evaporator 1, heated by hot gases, the steam presses on the liquid mirror, displacing it through the valve 2 to the hydraulic motor 3, the gears of which transmit torque to the output shaft. After the hydraulic motor, the liquid enters the hydraulic accumulator tank 4. When all of it is forced out of the evaporator, the cooling pipes 5 are exposed, and steam begins to condense on them. A low pressure zone is formed, where the vapor in the evaporator will rush until all of it is condensed. In pipe 6, the pressure drops sharply to a value less than atmospheric pressure. Valve 7 opens and liquid from reservoir 4 starts to fill the evaporator. At this time, valve 2 is closed and valve 8 opens and rotates the gears of the hydraulic motor. When the steam condenses, the tin 9 placed in its upper compartment melts and absorbs a large amount of heat. When cold water appears in the evaporator, the tin melt passes into a solid state, giving off the stored heat, which goes to the formation of steam, and the cycle repeats.
The end of pipe 1 filled with water is placed in the fire. The more intense the water is heated, the more steam is formed in the evaporator 2. The steam presses on the water mirror and displaces it from pipe 4 through valve 5 into fire hose 6. When all the water is displaced from pipe 4, steam begins to condense on its walls (the installation is immersed in river or other body of water 7). The pressure in pipe 4 drops, valve 8 opens, and water from the river rushes into the pipe and into the evaporator. Valve 5 is closed. The cycle will repeat as long as there are hot gases in the fire.
Water is supplied to pipe 1 through inlet 2 and additional inlet valves 3 (side and top). Thanks to the pipe 4, the flame of gas burners 5 is drawn between the casing 6 and the evaporator 7, heating it intensively. From outlet 8, water enters the hydraulic motor.
