Hydraulic engine

Abstract.
Hydraulic engine is a self-propelled engine which runs without combustion. It runs due to reaction Torque i.e., caused by the high speed jets of vegetable oil. It can run up to 150000 miles without change in fuel. This seems to violate the KELVIN-PLANK statement, but it perfectly obeys it.

Introduction.
In hydraulic engine the only apparent outside source of power is a 12V battery which is used to start the pump which run engine. In this, vegetable oil is used as the hydraulic oil because at which water turns into steam and engine oil breaks down. The basic ideology for hydraulic engine is derived from Asphalt Sprayer Equipment. The important feature of the Asphalt Sprayer in that it can run up to 30min. even when the power is turned off. Modifications of thin instrument are lead to design of a 350HP output power from 200 pound motor. In thin the motor had only one moving part that means a conical rotor on a hallow shaft which is mounted vertically spiral channels cut into cone wound around its length and feed into peripheral nozzles at its large end fluid flowed through the spiral channels it was ejected out the nozzles and caused the cone to spin at a certain velocity the rotating cone became independent of starter pump and began to operate by itself at an operating speed of 1800-2300rpm the fluid is heated up to 3000F requiring a heat exchanger.

Description of a Preferred Embodiment of invention.


The above fig. illustrates that proportional decrease in channel depth as rotor diameter increases. This means fluid has to travel twice as far in same time to maintain a constant slip velocity. By reducing channel depth in half the fluid velocity is doubled three by keeping slip constant. In the embodiment of invention illustrated in the drawings, I have shown in fig.1, a conical drag pump 10 including a housing 11 having frusto-conical interior wall portion 12 forming a pumping chamber and cooperating with a frusto-conical rotor 13 to produce a high pressure of the fluid as discharged through the outlet of the pump. An inlet chamber 14 is provided at the small diameter end of the frustoconical portion 12 and is shown as having an outlet pipe 17 leading there from. The housing 11 is supported on feet 19, which may be bolted or otherwise secured to a conventional foundation or base (not shown). The outlet chamber 16 is closed by a detachable end cap 20, suitably sealed thereto and removable to afford access to the frusto-conical wall 12, to accommodate machining thereof and assembly of the rotor 13 and a rotor shaft 21 within said housing with the wall of said rotor in close clearance with the internal frusto-conical wall 12. The end cap 20 has a wall portion 22, closing the outlet end of housing, and having a cup-like boss 23 extending outwardly there from. The cup-like boss 23contains packing 24, contained to say cup-like boss as by an adjustable gland nut 25 threaded in said boss. The end cap 20 also has a pair of bracket arms

The above fig. shows a high pressure low volume drag pump it has a conical rotor that has a close clearance with stationary housing wall. Delivered pressure is limited by back flow across the radial clearance and is inversely proportional to square of clearance so, a small increase in radial clearance would rapidly reduce pressure hence the rotor in cone shaped so that clearance can be controlled by axial adjustment of rotor relative to housing wall. The conical rotor has two helical channels (criteria 3), in the form of square threads, spaced 180 apart for balance. The channel depth decreases as the rotor diameter increases. Fluid enters the channels at the small end of the rotor. The fluid is induced to rotate with the channel by boundary layer drag. The boundary layer is the thin layer of fluid adhering to the channel surface. Molecular cohesion tends to drag the adjacent fluid with the boundary layer. The fluid is also in contact with the housing wall. The boundary layer drag against this stationary wall slows the rotation of the fluid in the channels. Because the fluid rotates slower than the rotor, it is forced through the channels towards the large end of the rotor. In addition the fluid is forced towards the large end by centrifugal force.

27 extending axially outwardly therefrom. The bracket arms 27 may be formed integrally with the end cap 20 and are spaced apart to afford access to the gland nut 25, to take up on the packing 24. The bracket members 27 form a support at their outer edges for a bearing boss 29 for an anti-friction bearing 30. The bearing 30 is shown as retained against a shouldered position of said bearing boss as by a snap ring 31. The bearing 30 may be a conventional form of ball bearing and has an inner race 32 mounted on a sleeve 33 and retained against a shouldered portion 34 of said sleeve as by a retainer nut 35 threaded on the outer end of said sleeve and suitable locked thereto. The shaft 21 has a reduced diameter outer end portion 36 extending through the sleeve 33, with a close sliding fit extending outwardly therefrom. The sleeve 33 may be feather keyed on the reduced diameter end of the shaft 36 and sufficient clearance may be provided between the shaft and the sleeve 33 to accommodate axial movement of said shaft relative to said sleeve when taking up on clearance between the frusto-conical wall 12 and frusto-conical face of the rotor 13. The reduced diameter end portion 36 of the shaft 21 is shown as having a coupling 37 mounted thereon, coupling said shaft to a suitable motor (not shown) for driving said shaft and the rotor 13. The coupling 37 may be of a conventional form, of a type which will permit some axial movement of the shaft 21 relative to the motor shaft upon adjustment of clearance between the rotor and the frusto-conical wall 12, and which will also compensate for temperature changes. It should be understood that the coupling 37 may be at either end of the shaft, although the present location of said coupling is preferred to facilitate axial adjustment of said shaft and the rotor 13 relative to the frustoconical wall 12. The opposite end of the shaft 21 from the coupling 37 extends through the inlet chamber 14 and is sealed by packing 39 contained within a cup-like retainer 40 extending outwardly of the inlet end wall portion of the housing 11. The packing 39 may be taken up by a gland nut 41 threaded within the interior wall portion of said cup-like retainer 40. A bearing boss 43 is spaced outwardly of the packing nut 41 and is supported by integrally formed bracket arms 44, extending axially outwardly of the inlet end of the housing 11 and shown as being formed integrally with said housing. The spaced bracket arms 44, like the bracket arms 27, afford access to the gland nut 41, to accommodate adjustment of the packing 39.

The end of the shaft 21 extending outwardly of the gland nut 41 has a reduced diameter portion 45 having sliding fit with a bearing sleeve 46, for a bearing 47 mounted in the bearing boss 43. The bearing 47 may be a suitable form of anti-friction bearing, such as a ball bearing and is shown as retained against an inner shouldered position of the bearing boss 43, as by a snap ring 48. The sleeve 46 has an inner flanged portion 49 forming a shoulder abutted by an inner race 50 of the bearing 47. A nut 51 threaded on said sleeve is provided to lock said inner race to said sleeve and against the shoulder formed by the flange 49. The outer end portion of the sleeve 46 is internally threaded, and is threaded on a reduced diameter outer end portion 53 of the shaft 21. A lock nut 55 locks said sleeve to said shaft to effect rotation of said sleeve upon rotation f said shaft. The threaded end portion 53 of the shaft 21 may have opposite flat faces, one of which is indicated by reference numeral 56, to accommodate axial adjustment of said shaft relative to the sleeve 46 by loosening the lock nut 55 and holding the shaft from rotation by a wrench engaging the flat portions 56 thereof, and then turning the sleeve 46 along said shaft, to achieve the desired radial clearance between the face of the rotor 13 and the interior cylindrical wall 12. The rotor 13 may be keyed or otherwise secured to the shaft 21 and is held on said shaft by a split or snap ring 57 snapped on said shaft and engaging the small diameter end of the rotor 13, and by a washer 59 abutting the large diameter end of said rotor, and held thereto as by a nut 60 threaded on said shaft and suitably locked thereto. The rotor 13 has at least one helical channel 61 cut or otherwise formed therein and leading from the inlet to the outlet end of said rotor. As shown in Figures 1 and 3, two diametrically opposed channels are shown as being in the form of double square threads, each of which threads or channels a root or base 63 and parallel side walls 64 have. The channels, however, need not necessarily be formed like square threads but may have rounded bases or may be of various other forms. The increase in fluid velocity is in opposite direction of rotor spin and hence a reaction force is developed from acceleration of fluid. This thrust would be directed tangent to the circumference and would increase spin torque on rotor. Even without peripheral nozzles, that would self-propel it. Because fluid drag is primary force, it is well suited viscous

fluids like asphalt. The long channels also represent a large sliding surface area with frictional losses that would transfer heat to pumped fluid.

Clem motor in start mode.

The above drawing shows a hypothetical Clem motor based on the Conical Drag Pump. The motor is mounted vertically so that the check valve on the hollow shaft is submerged down in the oil tank. The hollow shaft (shown in blue) extends from the oil tank through the rotor into the inlet chamber. The start pump draws oil from the tank and forces it up the external feed line connected to the inlet chamber at the small end of the rotor. This fills the hollow shaft and forces the check valve closed. The oil flows into the spiral channels and out the peripheral nozzles. The reaction thrust of the nozzles spins the rotor. The oil flows through the return line, through the valve, filter, and heat exchanger and back into the tank. The start pump is most likely a standard hydraulic gear pump. It continues to pump until the rotor spins up to its operating speed. The combinations of a start pump and check valve would be a simple way to both prime the motor and spin up the rotor.

rotor. The spiral channels pump the oil down towards the large end of the rotor. A plate is attached to the large end of the rotor and fits with a close clearance with the housing wall. Nozzles attached to the outer edge receive high-pressure oil from the spiral channels. The jet reaction thrust from the nozzles delivers shaft horsepower to the power takeoff at the shaft top. Adjusting the valve to create hydraulic backpressure regulates the motor RPM. Closing the valve stops the motor.

Once the start pump is shut off the check valve is free to open. Oil is drawn up into the hollow shaft (shown

V1=initial velocity before entering in to the conical rotor V2=final velocity after oil from the nozzle From figure of conical rotor The radius increase from apex to the base of cone. dr changes continuously until it reach the base i.e., radius r we know that centrifugal force F=mr 2 from that Fr The above fig shows the actual working of the hydraulic engine, the main torque is produced by the Let us consider an element of radius dr in cone and Torque at that pointi s Torque dT=F.dr Jets of the vegetable oil at the nozzle and that energy is converted in to rotary energy the top view shows clear representation of the jets the heat exchanger is used because the temp raises up to 300 0c and if oil raises from that temp the oil break downs which causes the decrease in efficiency Total reaction torque is T=dT =F.dr According to invention at operating speed the engine tends to run by itself this is possible for following reasons

Numerical modeling.
Let V=velocity of jet of vegetable oil F=force produced but jet of vegetable oil d=diameter of the cone l=length of spiral channels. dr=element radius of the cone. dT=torque at that elemental radius T=reaction torque produced by the jets of vegetable oil on the rotor P1=initial pressure of the oil

The operating condition is 1800-2300rpm, at this speed the centrifugal force is very high due to this the pressure head and velocity head changes and then the remaining pressure energy is also converted in to kinetic energy and hence reaction torque is enough for pummping of vegetable oil through hollow shaft to apex of cone Another important reason is the cone is vertical i.e., vegetable oil at apex has high potential energy and that potential energy is used to turn conical rotor which adds with centrifugal force to increase the reaction torque and how it automatically operates

As vegetable oil starts to travel from the apex to base radius increase as result centrifugal force increases.

As centrifugal force increase torque from the vegetable oil to conical rotor increases . Initially the torque is used to overcome the frictional power and then when speed pickups the true is used to increase the speed of the rotor. Clem noted that It can travel that 103 mph. At most operating conditions of 2300 rpm during operational period a hallow shaft itself sucks oil and it continuous and during operation temperature rise up to 3000c . Another important thing is that clem said that it run with constant slip referring to fig.4 Cone angle and thread angle should maintain constant change of rate to maintain constant slip if there is change in thread angle takes place change in cone angle also takes place by same amount thats the basic principle

Conclusion.
It doesnt has any combustion so, it has zero emissions and great fuel efficiency and economy of maintenance and replacement of fuel for every 150000 miles so it has several advantages over normal engine and another important feature even though it has mileage it can run at max speed of 103 miles per hour which is a plus point to run on the roads the engine is controlled by rotary gear pump
