  • Mixing apparatus
    Patent number: 4294549
    Abstract: A mechanized emulsifier is disclosed for mixing water and hydrocarbon fuels for boilers and internal combustion engines. A rotor is driven in an annular chamber and liquids drawn in at the axis of the rotor are thrown out through narrow radial passages therein to impinge on the outer wall of the annular chamber. This wall is circular for most of its circumference but broadens out into a spiral shaped outlet chamber. A fluid logic circuit for automatic control of the emulsifier is also set forth.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 14, 1979
    Date of Patent: October 13, 1981
    Assignee: Dynatrol Consultants (U.K.) Limited

  • Fluidic proportional amplifier
    Patent number: 4029127
    Abstract: Control of a liquid power stream by establishment of a gaseous control flow is disclosed. The gaseous control flow is generated by the withdrawal of air at the boundary of the power stream to thereby create a pressure differential which deflects the power stream. Creation and control of a moving carrier flow to establish a moving boundary whereby the energy of the power stream may be modulated is also disclosed.
