The Daimler Motors
Fig. 158 represents one of the new style small motors with enclosing case for the crank and connecting rod, while the outside reducing-gear and governor is enclosed within the area of the fly-wheel, making a most convenient and compact motor for all purposes of power.
In the kerosene motor the oil is vaporized by the heat of the exhaust by means of a jacketed evaporator, which only holds a moderate charge and is fed from a storage tank at a safe distance.
The single-cylinder motors are made from 1 to 12 B. H. P., and the double-cylinder motors from 4 to 24 H. P. The four cylinder motors are made up to 48 H. P.
These motors have been adapted to marine propulsion to a large extent. Fig. 160 represents a 4 H. P. marine motor of the two-cylinder style on single crank, making the combination equivalent to a two-cycle engine. With this engine the governor controls the speed with the variable load caused by stopping, slowing, or reversing the propeller wheel—all of these movements being controlled by the lever shown in the cut. The first back pull of the lever eases the friction-clutch, which is the driving connection of the engine with the wheel shaft. A further pull unships the driving-clutch, and a still further pull puts the bevel-friction gear in contact for reversing the wheel. The marine motors are all made for gasoline fuel. |
