Description

(54) IMPROVEMENTS IN OR RELATING TO DIESEL, GAS AND PETROL TURBINE ENGINES (71) I, HAROLD HARWOOD, 309 Kingston Road, Ewell, Epsom, Surrey, British subject, do hereby declare the invention, for which I pray that a patent may be granted to me, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: This invention relates to diesel, gas and petrol turbines and a method of rotating a rotor and is more readily adapted to particular needs and situations than those of which I am aware.According to this invention I provide a stator having a series of specially positioned holes or ports in the casing and a rotor with one or more specially shaped wedge or other recesses in its outer face into which a compressed fuel charge may be injected through an automatic or mechanically operated inlet valve when the rotor chamber arrives at that port, the chamber in the rotor is surrounded by spring based pressure retaining segments which retain the charge until on the rotor revolving further it reaches a firing point where on being ignited the expanding gasses exert a turning movement on the rotor, on further turning an exhaust port is uncovered through which the used gasses may escape, in the case of a machine having one thrust per revolution or a machine with a long rindof thrust these exhaust gasses may be rechannelled back into the rotor chamber to give added thrust and more efficient use of fuel.

Openings may be made in the stator end plates through which air may be drawn by a fan fitted to the inside of the rotor to form a blower boost to the fuel supply and cool the rotor.

The invention may be carried into effect in a number of ways some of which are shown in the accompanying drawings in which Fig. 1 shows a side view of one form of my invention in which the rotor chamber is in position to receive the fuel, in this example two thrusts may be given at A & B and again on half turn another two thrusts at B & A, Fig. 2 shows a rotor with one chamber and a longer thrust, Fig. 3 shows a plan view of the chambers, the front opening for 4 thrusts per revolu- tion and the extended portion for a machine with one thrust.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that WHAT I CLAIM IS: - A turbine having a series of holes or ports in the stator through which a fuel charge may be forced into a combustion chamber in the rotor, which chamber is surrounded by spring based compression retaining seg ments and on revolving enables the charge to be fired to exert a turning movement on the rotor the spent gasses escaping through a port later.
