Engine Burns Its Carbon Monoxide
Elimination of deadly carbon monoxide from
exhaust gas is claimed for a new gasoline engine of radical
design. Half of the cylinders and pistons in the new engine
are larger than the other half; and the number of spark
plugs, valves and intake and exhaust manifold openings is
half that of an ordinary engine having the same number of
cylinders. The inventor, G.A. Bartholomew, of Cleveland
Ohio, uses a principle similar to that of compound steam
engines. Only the small cylinders have spark plugs for
ignition. When the explosion in the small cylinder is almost
over, the hot gases produced pass through a valve into the
adjacent large cylinder, and are mixed with fresh air. Here
they continue burning, using up all carbon monoxide, and
producing additional power with a reduction in fuel
consumption.
