AUTOMOBILE Russian patent published in 1997 - IPC

FIELD: transport engineering. SUBSTANCE: automobile has five-seat saloon with split end face section and is displaced into front part of body. Rotor and piston power units arranged in discs of rear paired wheels are used instead of conventional engine. Automobile has no steering wheel with column. Their functions are played by robot member with wheel turning control handle (manipulator) and fuel feed control handle to deliver fuel into external combustion chamber (reactor) brought out to driver's seat. Parabolic inclination of upper part of body forward from bumper to rear edge of roof, rhomboid sliding side doors and lifted face section in dead zone behind window glass provide free getting to front and rear seats without increasing overall dimensions of automobile and improve ergonomic characteristics of vehicle. Automatic opening and closing of doors with arrangement of front seat backrests at large tilting angle, mounting of sliding door control mechanisms in concealed protected places and installation of panoramic window improve conform of automobile. Semi-axle pneumatic recuperators and turnable transmissions provide independent control of compressor and power functions of thermodynamic process bringing heat losses to minimum and use of compressed air and water in mixture preparation process provides high fuel economy at new pulseless thermodynamic process in proposed automobile. EFFECT: increased fuel economy, reduced heat losses, improved operation reliability and enlarged operating capabilities. 14 cl, 8 dwg
