  • Publication number: 20140096742
    Abstract: A rotating valve system for a hydrogen engine is an apparatus that generates rotation power by combusting a hydrogen-air mixture. The apparatus includes an engine block, an at least one rotating valve assembly, a plurality of internal combustion (IC) mechanisms, and a crankshaft. The engine block is a structural base for the other components of the apparatus. The IC mechanisms convert the chemical energy of hydrogen into mechanical energy. The crankshaft receives the linear motion from the IC mechanisms and coverts the linear motion into rotational motion. The rotating valve assembly includes an intake tube and an exhaust tube, both with ports that are aligned and timed to deliver a charge of air/fuel mixture to the proper IC mechanism during the intake cycle and to scavenge the exhaust gases from the proper IC mechanism during the exhaust cycle.

  • Patent number: 5178509
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for increasing the ability of a cotton module mover to reach remote locations in soil conditions which typically hinder travel; to load and unload modules on soft, uneven, and wet ground; and, to equalize the horizontal movement of the ground engaging portions of the tires, the track units, and to drive the live floor of the mover's bed at the same horizontal rate as the mover's actual movement with respect to the ground. The invention includes self-adjusting supports which distribute a portion of the weight of the mover equally to each of the track units and allows each track unit to independently extend to various positions below the mover. The equalization of the horizontal movement of the tires, the track units, and the live floor includes mechanically interconnecting the tires and track units and controlling the live floor with a system which detects the mover's actual movement relative to the ground and then drives the live floor at that speed.
