Claim 1
Independent Claim
169 words
THE METHOD OF SYNTHESIZING ACETYLENE WHICH COMPRISES SEPARATELY COMPRESSING OXYGEN UNDILUTED BY PRODUCTS OF COMBUSTION AND A GASEOUS REACTANT HYDROCARBON, SEPARATELY PREHEATING SAID OXYGEN AND SAID REACTANT HYDROCARBON TO TEMPERATURES SUCH THAT WHEN THEY ARE MIXED REACTION WILL TAKE PLACE BY AUTOIGNITION, RAPIDLY MIXING SAID OXYGEN AND SAID HYDROCARBON IN A VENTURIBY RAPIDLY INTRODUCING ONE OF SAID MATERIALS IN ROTATIONALLY SWIRLING MANNER INTO THE CONVERGING SIDE OF SAID VENTURI AND RAPIDLY INTRODUCING THE OUTER OF SAID MATERIALS IN AN OPPOSITELY ROTATING MANNER INTO THE THROAT OF SAID VENTURI; RETAINING FOR A PERIOD OF TIME THE RESULTANT MIXTURE AT THE TEMPERATURES PROGESSIVELY RESULTING FROM THE REACTION THAT TAKE PLACE, AND RAPIDELY COOLING, AT A TIME WHEN THE QUANTITY OF ACETYLENE PRESENT IN A REACTION MIXTURES IS AT ABOUT A MAXIMUM, THE PRODUCTS OF SAID REACTIONS BY CONVERTING A PORTION OF THE THERMAL ENERGY OF SAID PRODUCTS INTO THE KINETIC ENERGY OF A JET AND THEREAFTER DRIVING AN IMPLUSE TURBINE WITH JET, WHEREBY ITS JINETIC ENERGY IS CONVERTED INTO MECHANICAL WORK.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
147 words
A REACTOR COMPRISING A MANIFOLD SUITABLE FOR CARRYING PRE-HEATED OXYGEN INTO A MULTIPLICITY OF VENTURI MIXERS, A MULTIPLICITY OF VALUES SUITABLE FOR REGULATION OF THE FLOW OF SAID OXYGEN INTO SAID VENTURI MIXTURES, A MANIFOLD SUITABLE FOR CARRYING PRE-HEATED METHANE INTO SAID VENTURI MIXERS, A MULTIPLICITY OF VALVES SUITABLE FOR REFULATION OF THE FLOW OF SAID METHANE INTO SAID VENTURI MIXERS, SAID MULTIPLICITY OF VENTURI MIXERS, A LIKE MULTIPLICITY OF REACTION CHAMBERS INTO WHICH GASES MIXED IN SAID VENTURI MIXERS MAY EMERGE, A LIKE MULTIPLICITY OF CONVERGINDIVERGING NOZZLES INTO WHICH THE GASES PASSING THROUGH SAID REACTION CHAMBERS MAY EMERGE, SAID NOZZLES BEING SO POSITIONED AS TO ALLOW THE JETS OF GASES EMERGING FROM SAID NOZZLES TO IMPINGE ON AND DRIVE THE ROTOR OF AN IMPULSE TURBINE, AN IMPLUSE TURBINE SUITABLE TO BE DRIVEN THEREBY, AND MEANS FOR SPRAYING THE GASES EMERGING FROM SAID IMPULSE TURBINE WITH WATER.
