Machine for producing dispersions of liquids in air or other gases for the production of fogs

Claim 1

AN APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING DISPERSIONS OF ATOMIZED LIQUID PARTICLES COMPRISING A RESONANT PULSE JET COMBUSTION UNIT INCLUDING A COMBUSTION CHAMBER FOR RECEIVING COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURES OF FUEL AND AIR, AN EXHAUST TUBE HAVING ONE END OPENING FREELY INTO SAID COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND HAVING AN OPEN DISCHARGE AT ITS OPPOSITE END, SAID EXHAUST TUBE AND COMBUSTION CHAMBER FORMING INTEGRAL AND MUTUALLY DEPENDENT PARTS OF A RESONANT COMBUSTION SYSTEM WHEREIN COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURES OF FUEL AND AIR ARE CYCLICALLY FIRED AND THE HIGH TEMPERATURE EXHAUST GASES THUS FORMED FLOW PULSATINGLY THROUGH AND FROM SAID EXHAUST TUBE, SAID PULSATING FLOW OF EXHAUST GASES BEING ACCOMPANIED BY A CYCLIC REVERSAL OF FLOW THUS PRODUCING A HIGHLY TURBULENT, HIGH VELOCITY STREAM OF HIGH TEMPERATURE GASES, AND A SUPPLY CONDUIT OPENING INTO THE WALL OF SAID EXHAUST TUBE IN ADVANCE OF SAID OPEN DISCHARGE END THEREOF FOR INTRODUCING INTO THE PULSATING FLOW OF GASES IN SAID EXHAUST TUBE A SUBSTANTIALLY NON-ATOMIZED FLOW OF THE LIQUID TO BE DISPERSED, WHEREBY SAID HIGH TEMPERATURE, HIGH VELOCITY, CYCLICALLY REVERSING HIGHLY TURBULENT FLOW OF EXHAUST GASES REACTS UPON SAID LIQUID FLOW TO CAUSE ATOMIZATION AND VAPORIZATION THEREOF WITHIN SAID TUBE TO DISCHARGE INTO THE ATMOSPHERE FROM SAID TUBE A DISPERSION OF ATOMIZED PARTICLES OF SAID LIQUID.

Claim 2

AN APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING DISPERSIONS OF ATOMIZED LIQUID PARTICLES COMPRISING A RESONANT PULSE JET COMBUSTION UNIT INCLUDING A COMBUSTION CHAMBER FOR RECEIVING COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURES OF FUEL AND AIR, AN EXHAUST TUBE HAVING ONE END OPENING FREELY INTO SAID COMBUSTION CHAMBER AND HAVING AN OPEN DISCHARGE AT ITS OPPOSITE END, SAID EXHAUST TUBE AND COMBUSTION CHAMBER FORMING INTEGRAL AND MUTUALLY DEPENDENT PARTS OF A RESONANT COMBUSTION SYSTEM WHEREIN COMBUSTIBLE MIXTURES OF FUEL AND AIR ARE CYCLICALLY FIRED AND THE HIGH TEMPERATURE EXHAUST GASES THUS FORMED FLOW PULSATINGLY THROUGH AND FROM SAID EXHAUST TUBE, SAID PULSATING FLOW OF EXHAUST GASES BEING ACCOMPANIED BY A CYCLIC REVERSAL OF FLOW THUS PRODUCING A HIGHLY TURBULENT, HIGH VELOCITY STREAM OF HIGH TEMPERATURE GASES, AND A SUPPLY CONDUIT OPENING INTO THE WALL OF SAID EXHAUST TUBE IN ADVANCE OF SAID OPEN DISCHARGE END THEREOF FOR INTRODUCING INTO THE PULSATING FLOW OF GASES IN SAID EXHAUST TUBE A SUBSTANTIALLY NON-ATOMIZED FLOW OF THE LIQUID TO BE DISPERSED, WHEREBY SAID HIGH TEMPERATURE, HIGH VELOCITY, CYCLICALLY REVERSING HIGHLY TURBULENT FLOW OF EXHAUST GASES REACTS UPON SAID LIQUID FLOW TO CAUSE ATOMIZATION AND VAPORIZATION THEREOF WITHIN SAID TUBE TO DISCHARGE INTO THE ATMOSPHERE FROM SAID TUBE A DISPERSION OF ATOMIZED PARTICLES OF SAID LIQUID.
