Abstract
Abstract A stationary reactor is provided having a disc-shaped combustor having a top plate and a bottom plate spaced apart from each other. The space between the plates defines a combustion chamber having a center and a periphery, the space tapers at the periphery of the chamber. Ignition is provided centrally located in the chamber. An air intake supplies an explosive mixture to the chamber which ignites to cause expansion. The combustion chamber has a peripheral aperture defined by the space between of each of the plates at the periphery of the chamber, the aperture allows the expanded mixture to be discharged from the chamber in a substantially circumferential manner.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A stationary reactor comprising: a disc-shaped combustor having a top plate and a bottom plate spaced apart from each other, the space between said plates defining a combustion chamber having a center and a periphery, said space tapering at the periphery of said chamber, and ignition means centrally located in said chamber, said means supplying an explosive mixture to said chamber and igniting said explosive mixture to cause expansion thereof, said combustion chamber having a peripheral aperture defined by the space between said plates at the periphery of said chamber, said aperture allowing the expending mixture to be discharged from said chamber in a substantially circumferential manner.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A stationary reactor comprising: a disc-shaped combustor having a top plate and a bottom plate spaced apart from each other, the space between said plates defining a combustion chamber having a center and a periphery, said space tapering at the periphery of said chamber, and ignition means centrally located in said chamber, said means supplying an explosive mixture to said chamber and igniting said explosive mixture to cause expansion thereof, said combustion chamber having a peripheral aperture defined by the space between said plates at the periphery of said chamber, said aperture allowing the expending mixture to be discharged from said chamber in a substantially circumferential manner.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
28 words
A reactor as claimed in claim 1, wherein the space separating said top plate and bottom plate gradually tapers from the center to the periphery of said chamber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
A reactor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said ignition means comprise a central opening in one of said top plate or bottom plate, a distributing nozzle located in said opening for supplying an explosive mixture to said chamber, and electrodes for igniting said explosive mixture.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
46 words
A reactor as claimed in claim 2, wherein said ignition means comprise a central opening in one of said top plate or bottom plate, a distributing nozzle located in said opening for supplying an explosive mixture to said chamber, and electrodes for igniting said explosive mixture.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
A reactor as claimed in 3 further comprising a pin located at the center of the plate opposed to said opening, said pin directing said expanding mixture outwardly from the center of said chamber.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
A reactor as claimed in 4 further comprising a pin located at the center of the plate opposed to said opening, said pin directing said expanding mixture outwardly from the center of said chamber.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
A reactor as claimed in claim 1, wherein said top and bottom plates are held together at a given radial distance from the center of said chamber by a plurality of bolts.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
32 words
A reactor as claimed in claim 2, wherein said top and bottom plates are held together at a given radial distance from the center of said chamber by a plurality of bolts.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
82 words
A combustion motor which comprises: a reactor as defined in claim 5, and a rotary fan blade cage peripheral of said reactor, said cage comprising an annular series of inwardly opening pockets made up from obliquely set blades, said pockets receiving discharged expanded explosive mixture from said aperture thereby setting said cage in a rotational motion, said fan blade cage being connected to an axle coaxial with said reactor and from which the rotational motion of said cage is transformed in power.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
82 words
A combustion motor which comprises: a reactor as defined in claim 6, and a rotary fan blade cage peripheral of said reactor, said cage comprising an annular series of inwardly opening pockets made up from obliquely set blades, said pockets receiving discharged expanded explosive mixture from said aperture thereby setting said cage in a rotational motion, said fan blade cage being connected to an axle coaxial with said reactor and from which the rotational motion of said cage is transformed into power.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
27 words
A motor as claimed in claim 9, wherein each of said pocket is of a width substantially equal to the distance separating said top and bottom plates.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
27 words
A motor as claimed in claim 10, wherein each of said pocket is of a width substantially equal to the distance separating said top and bottom plates.
