Abstract: The disclosure describes the improvement to a carburation system for an internal combustion motor which operates with a mixture of motor fuel vapor and air. The system comprises a carburetor, a heat exchanger and an admission block. The main object of the present invention is to decrease in a positive manner the losses of power of the explosion in the motor-cylinder, which are caused by a premature expansion of the air during its passage in the heat exchange compartments. The invention is characterized by the fact that a portion only of the air which is required for the explosion will pass in the heat exchange compartment with the motor fuel which will be transformed into vapor under the effect of heat. The other part of the air will go through the heat exchanger (by an independent air duct) will arrive directly in the system of admission of the motor cylinder.

Abstract: The disclosure describes a carburetion system for internal combustion motor comprising a carburetor, a heat exchanger and an admission block. The carburetor has a carburetion chamber for each motor cylinder and is provided with a motor-fuel reservoir, each chamber having a butterfly valve for controlling the introduction of air. A primary circuit individually feeds each chamber from the reservoir while a secondary circuit, which is independent from the chambers, directly feeds the motor cylinders with an excess of motor fuel which is fed from the reservoir. The heat exchanger, which is connected to the carburetor, comprises an independent heat exchange compartment for each carburetion chamber to which it is connected for enabling the mixture which is produced in the chamber to flow directly into the compartment. The combustion gases of the motor are brought around the compartments for evaporating the motor fuel of the mixture which flows therein.

More specifically, the dummy can be thrown to either side and be twisted about a vertical axis.

Abstract: Flaked metal powders are made by subjecting finely divided metal and a lubricant in a heterogeneous liquid system in a ball mill in which there is a mass of attritive elements through which an agitator is moved to displace the elements. The weight ratio of attritive elements to finely divided metal is within the range from 37 to 1 to 10 to 1. The weight ratio of inert liquid to finely divided metal is preferably within the range from 0.5 to 1 to 1 to 4. The weight ratio of finely divided metal to lubricant is preferably within the range from 30 to 1 to 1 to 1. The attritive elements preferably have a diameter within the range from 1/32 inch to 1 inch (0.8 to 25.4 mm). Preferred temperatures, times and other conditions are disclosed. Apparatus for carrying out the method includes, in addition to the attritive elements and the agitator, additional agitating means producing agitation in a relative direction counter to that of the agitator. The additional means may be rods extending among the attritive elements.
