Abstract: A centrifugal separator wherein in the gas/liquid to be separated is centrifugally flowed consecutively through multiple adjacent concentric cyclonic chambers and thereby forcing the mixture to also flow up and down through respective chambers causing deceleration along with centrifugal separation for maximum efficient separation of the liquid from the gas.

Abstract: A motor to accessory drive system wherein an electric or gasoline motor, having a housing with a drive shaft end protruding from the motor housing, is mounted with respect to the accessory to be driven, such as a pump or a generator, which also has a housing with a drive shaft protruding from the accessory housing, with a mounting plate secured at one end to the motor housing, and secured at another end to the accessory housing whereby the accessory is supported from the motor. The mounting plate is provided with spaced apertures with the drive shaft ends of the motor and accessory respectively protruding through the apertures in parallel alignment. A drive pulley is mounted on each of the protruding drive shaft ends in alignment in a common plane and an endless belt is in driving engagement with the pulleys.
Abstract: A breather assembly for ventilation and pressure control within a crankcase of a positive displacement motor or pump. The breather assembly includes an intake/exhaust port through the crankcase with a valve seat for the port on an exterior surface of the crankcase. A flexible valve membrane is positioned over the port on the valve seat on the exterior of the crankcase for flexing outwardly to exhaust air under positive pressure from the crankcase to atmosphere and to close the port when the crankcase pressure is neutral or negative. An irregular surface is provided on the face of the valve membrane facing to and engaging the valve seat and this surface is provided with a texture which permits air to flow over the valve seat and into the port in a controlled quantity when a negative air pressure condition is attained in the crankcase whereby a predetermined small vacuum level may be maintained in the crankcase.
