  • Patent number: 5423297
    Abstract: A two stage rotary vaned internal combustion engine using cylindrical rotors that spin inside a pair of specially shaped chambers with extendable vanes that seal the space between the spinning rotor and the stationary chamber each rotor and chamber form a plurality of compression spaces connected by valves to combustion/expansion chambers the intake flow runs along the axis of the rotors and is partially pressurized before being directed into the compression chamber where further compression takes place and compressed air is then directed through the valve body into the combustion chamber where ignition and expansion take place causing the rotor to rotate exhaust takes place simultaneously with the next ignition and expansion process. This process takes place at the same time in all chambers. This engine will operate on gasoline and alternative fuels.

  • Patent number: 4714177
    Abstract: To avoid internal and external soiling in a device for the metering of chemicals, particularly for seed treatment, a special storage system unit (1) is provided which can be loaded with disposable packages (3a, 3b, 3c) which are connected by means of couplings (13) to a supply line (16) leading to an atomizer (58), in which arrangement a metering unit (41) is arranged in the supply line (16) and the entire liquid-carrying system from the packages (3a, 3b, 3c) to the atomizer (58) is closed off to the working environment.
