Bruhot Engine

RELATED CONTENT

Messrs. Bruhot, of Vierzon, have introduced a gas engine which can be run equally on the light volatile oils, and is particularly suitable for agricultural purposes. The engine, as arranged for town gas, differs from those already described in details alone. It works on a four-stroke cycle, and the firing of the mixture is done by means of a small battery, or by a magneto driven from the engine shaft. To make the engine suitable for running on oil vapour a carburetor and the necessary oil reservoirs are added. Air is sucked in by the motion of the pistons over the petroleum or other volatile mineral oils contained in the carburetor cylinder, and becomes charged with hydrocarbon vapours. In connection with the carburetor chamber is a tank containing a reserve supply of several pints of oil, and a special regulator keeps the level in the carburetor always constant, however variable the demands may be. The arrangement, which is both simple and strong, makes the engine particularly suitable for agricultural purposes.

This feature will continue in a future issue, when we will begin with the Capitaine, an oil engine.
