VALVELESS, CRANKLESS ENGINE
AN AMAZING ENGINE DESIGN. F ew motor scientists are more widely known than Professor A. M. Low, of London, and no scientist more regularly surprises the motor world by unique designs for cars and engines. His latest surprise sia valveless and crankless engine designed to operate at 15,000 r.p.m. To permit such speeds valves must be eliminated, and in their place Professor Low proposes to use a perforated cylinder head. He has found in 10 years of special tests that a comhustion gas can be fed into a tube so fast that, if ignited, the flame will not he able to travel backward towards the source of gas supply. ' ,4| Secondly, he has found that if the gas from this tube be led into a cylinder through sm-all, cooled perforations, and ignited, the flame will not pass b-ack through the orifices, and very little explosive force will be lost. These principles are combined in 1ns new engine, together with a system of regular pulsation-s of gas supply pressure. Exhaust is by open ports in the cylinder walls, these being uncovered hy the pistons on their downward travel.
