Self pressurizing interaction region
Abstract
Abstract A FLUIDIC AMPLIFIER CIRCUIT RESPONDS TO A VARIABLE PRESSURE INPUT SIGNAL AT A RELATIVELY LOW AVERAGE PRESSURE LEVEL TO PROVIDE AN AMPLIFIED VERSION OF THE PRESSURE INPUT SIGNAL AT A SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER AVERAGE PRESSURE LEVEL. THE CIRCUIT COMPRISES A PLURALITY OF CASCADED FLUIDIC AMPLIFIER STAGES, THE INTERACTION REGIONS OF SUCCESSIVE STAGES BEING MAINTAINED AT RESPECTIVE SUCCESSIVELY INCREASING PRESSURES BY RESTRICTING VENT FLOW FROM EACH STAGE AS REQUIRED. THE INTERACTION REGION PRESSURE IN ANY STAGE MUST NOT BE SO GREAT RELATIVE TO THE AVERAGE PRESSURE LEVEL OF THE INPUT SIGNAL FOR THAT STAGE AS TO PREVENT THE INPUT SIGNAL FROM FLOWING INTO THAT STATE, NOR SO SMALL RELATIVE TO THE POWER STREAM PRESSURE AS TO CAUSE EXCESSIVE DIFFUSION OF THE POWER STREAM UPON ENTERING THE INTERACTION REGION.
