Turbine Water Wheel
|
Asa M. Swain |
Tyngsborough, Middlesex County, MA |
Patented in Great Britain, #189,505,185.
Abstract:
My invention relates, chiefly, to turbines with a horizontal axis, called vertical turbines; the object of which is an increased capacity in the same diameter, at the same cost, a more convenient arrangement of packing around the gates, and the journal bearings, an improved form of discharge and draft pipe, and the control of a column of air, or water, in the same, at the pleasure of the operator.
Claim:
Two vertical turbine water-Wheels in one machine, discharging their effluent water toward each other, combined with a common receptacle into which the water from both wheels is discharged, said receptacle being so constructed on the inside as to form a partition or obstruction therein, located between the wheels, whereby the direction of the stream from each wheel is diverted and its action against the stream of the other wheel is wholly or partially obviated. |
