Power wheel with double action valve in conjunction with a drill bit

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6899794

A power wheel is described with double action valves comprises a heat engine in form of a rotating vessel mounted to an axis supported at one end to a frame, or joined into a pipe or flexible hose as the other end is faced up by a side gear confronting a second side gear both gears intermeshing through a plurality of pinion gears mounted between first and second ends of both shafts, the pinion gears are activated through expansion valves concealing the shaft of the pinion gear, a plurality of expansion valves mounted on said outer perimeter on radial axis, each of said expansion valve including: A cylinder with mechanical float valves A piston with piston rods penetrating the cylinder A valve control bar activated by stroke action of pistons A helical mechanism to rotate spindle shaft by stroke action of pistons A spindle shaft with two pawl bushings A pinion gear joined to said spindle shaft A drive gear for delivering useful work output mounted to the shaft of the vessel or a drill bit whereby the power wheel with double action valves is put at the top of the drill bit called platform to match both side gears to rotate the drill bit by blocking rotation of the power wheel by means of a plurality of chain saws installed inside the outer circumference of the power wheel whereby chain saw is extended to the outside of the outer circumference of the drill bit activated through spindle shaft penetrating expansion valves on one side as the other side of the shaft drives pinion gears to rotate the power wheel or drill bit, whereby stored fluid inside the vessel is heated to expand fluid whereby the volume exchange of the fluid activates piston inside the expansion valve by separating the pressurized fluid from the depressurized fluid, whereby the depressurized fluid is cooled inside a radiator to contract into relaxed stage.
