FLUID-CURRENT MOTOR.
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 617,874,'dated January 17, 1899.
Application filed August 9, 1897.
To all whom it may concern.-
Be it known that I, IVILLIAM BORRMAN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Nor folk, in the county of St. Lawrence and State of New York, have invented acertain new and useful Improvement in Fluid-Current Motors, of which the following is a specification.
My invention relates to means for utilizing the power of fluid currents or streams for run ning machinery.
My invention can be employed in connection either with currents of air or other gases or with currents of watcror other liquid, but it is particularly adapted for liquid currents. I 5. Prominent objects of my invention are to produce a simple, practical, inexpensive, and eflicient current-motor, to arrange for the regulation of the same with reference to different speeds of'current and also with referonce todifferent loadsimposed upon the mo tor, to prevent injury tothe machinery re-.
sulting from sudden stoppages of the motor by obstacles in the stream or current, to dispense with the necessity of employing either sluiceways or dams, and to provide certain novel features and details of construction tending to increase the efficiency and utility of current-motors.
In carrying; out my invention I arrange a "series of revoluble propelling blades or paddles in the stream or current and at such an angle with its direction of flow that they are revolved by the force'of its impact against them. These blades or paddles are connected with suitable power-transmitting connections, so that their rotation is communicated to and utilized in operatingthe machinery to be driven, a preferred arrangement being to arrange a plurality of groups of such blades '40 upon a series of rotary shafts arranged longitudinally in the stream and to gear-connect such shafts to a suitable rotary driving-shaft. The revoluble propelling-blades are also connected so that their angles with the streamor current eanbe varied with'reference to the strength of the latter and also with reference to the load imposed upon the motor, and they are provided with means whereby such angles can be simmltaneously and correspondingly 5o shifted." Y
- In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1' is Serial No. 647,559. (No model.)
a plan of a fluid-current motor embodying my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are vertical sections taken on linesa: a: and 1 1 respectively, in Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is'an'end elevation of one'of the revoluble propelling-blades on an enlarged scale, and Fig. 5 is an enlarged detail view illustrating the mechanism for shifting the angles of the propelling-blades, v
The revoluble propelling-blades 'A are nu}. derstood to be submerged in a fluid stream or current and when submerged are arranged at a corresponding angle tothc' direction of flow of such stream or current, so that the force ofthe impactpf'the fluid against them causes them to revolve in a direction at right angles to such-direction of flow. These blades A could be of any suitable form or construetion; but as a preferred arrangement they are long and transversely curved, so'as to substantially form cylindrical sections, since when so constructed they'present-alargesurface to the fluid of the stream or current.
' They can be easily cleaned and repaired and can be simply and inexpensively made. They can be arranged in the streamer current in any suitable manner, but are preferably grouped together so as to form pairs, with the members of each-pair arranged in parallel longitudinal planes and half a revolution apart.v The pairs of blades thus formedare desirably arranged so as to form one or more (but preferably three) series, each extending longitudinally in the stream and each comprising a pluralityas, for example, threeof pairs of blades arranged in ali'nement with one another in the direction of flow of the stream or current. The blades or paddles thus grouped could be'connectedso asto allow the utilization of their rotation. in any suit able manner, However, as a preferred arrangement and matter of further improve- Inent the three longitudinal series are respectively arranged upon three longitudinally-extending rotary shafts B, which-latter'are conveniently mounted in a rectangn lLrnfi-a-me 0, adapted, to afford bearings for the opposite ends of the shafts B and to support thesame in position in the stream or current Inthi's way each-rotary shaft I is driven by a plumo rality of symmetrically-arranged paddles or blades, so that it is rotated evenly and smoothly and always kept in perfect balance.
As a simple and convenient arrangement for transmitting the power of the rotating shafts B to any desired locality their forward ends are respectively provided with bevel gear-wheels D, which mesh with similar gearwheels E, arranged upon a suitable transversely-arranged' rotary driving shaft F, which is'mounted in bearings at the forward end of the frame and is understood to extend to the machinery to be driven. In order to allow the rotary driving-shaft F to run uninterruptedly, so as to prevent injury to such machinery when one or more of the blade-shafts B are suddenly stopped by the interference of obstacles in the stream, the
- gear-wheels E have an elastic clutch connection with such shaft F. A simple arrangement is to mount said wheelsE loosely upon the shaft F and to respectively back them with sliding clutch -sleeves E, which are caused to rotate by pins E and are normally forced into engagement or clutch with their gear-wheels E by suitable springs G, arranged upon the shaft F. By such arrangement upon the stoppage of any one of the bladeshafts ll the gear-wheel E, meshing'wit-lr its wheel D, can remain stationary, while its clutch-sleeve E rotates and until the trouble is remedied.
The blades or paddles A are, attached to the shafts B in such a manner that their anularity with reference to the direction of flow of the stream can be varied, a convenient'arrangement being to p ovide them with laterally-projecting pivot-1 tend the latter through suitable sockets locking devices or of removing the formed transversely in the shafts B andto secure them loosely therein so as to permit of their axial rotation. are also provided with means whereby the angularity of all the blades can be simultaneously and correspondingly shifted. In this way the motor can be adjusted with reference to streams of various strength and also with reference to various loads imposed upon it. For instance, when thestrength of the stream is so great as to cause the motor to run too rapidly the an gularity of theblades to its direction of flow is lessened, and when its strength is such as to cause the motor to run too slowly the an gularity of the blades is increased. In like manner if the load is varied so as to cause the motor to run too rapidly or too slowly the angularity of its blades is lessened or incr ased, as the case may be. Also when it is desired to stop the motor the angularity of its blades can be so shifted as to cause them to lie parallel to the direction of flow of the current, thereby dispensing with the necessity of employing friction-brakes or motor enr tirely from the stream or current. As an exceedingly simple and eificient arrangement ods a and to ex The blades orpaddles' for thus shifting the angularity of the propelling-blades I provide the a, respectively, with laterally projecting arms a, Figs. 2, 3, and 4, which can be engaged and drawn in a direction backward and forward the blades about their pivotal rods a. For instance, the projecting arms-a of the blades forming the end pairs of each longitudinal series can be engaged by a couple of longitudinally-adjustable rods H H, while the arms a of the blades forming the intermediate pairs can be similarly engaged by another couple of longitudinally-adjustable rods H H. These adjustable rods H H 11' II can be extended to the rear of the motor, and those controlling each series of blades can be attached to the arms I), with which the longitudinally-adjustable ends B of the shafts B are respectively provided. adjustable ends B are formed with square or like polygonal portions, which work in suit-. able correspondingly-shaped sockets formed in the opposing ends of the remaining portions of the shafts and are mounted in a transversely-arranged bearing-bar J. The bearing-bar J has its ends supported in suitable guideways formed in the sides of the frame 0, so as to be laterally adjustable backward and forward in the direction of current-flow, and engages the longitudinallyadjustable ends B, so as .to permit them to rotatev and also to adjust them longitudi nally in accordance with its lateral adjustment, in which way a lateral adjustment of the bearing-bar J will operate to simultaneously and correspondingly shift the angularity of all the propelling-blades.
The bearing-bar J is conveniently adjusted y K, which extend through it near its ends and work in bearings formed in the rear end of the frame 0 and which are desirably connected with one another, so as adjustable, by means of sprocket wheels L L, mounted upon them, and a sprocketchain M, arranged over and in engagement with the wheels L L, whereby both of said adjusting-screws K K can be operated from a distance one of them is provided with a second sprocket-wheel N, and a sprocket-chain P is arranged over the same and extended to such distant point, w ere it is understood to be operated by any suitable eontrivance.
- 'It will be observed that the arrangement thus set forth is particularly well adapted for utilizing the power of rivers and the like, since its frame can be arranged upon the river-bed, and its energy communicated to the shore by the rotary driving-shaft F, and its speed chain P. It will be understood, however, that such arrangement can be modified, as by increasing or decreasing the number of blades or paddles, orby varying their arrange- As an arrangement These means of a couple of adjusting-screws K to be simultaneously blade pivot-rods along the shafts'B, so as to swing regulated therefrom by the sprocket- 1nent, or by substituting other power-transmitting connections, without departing from the spirit of my invention.
