Engine Burns Its Carbon Monoxide
Elimination
of deadly carbon monoxide from exhaust gas is claimed for
a new gasoline engine of radical design. Half of the
cylinders and pistons in the new engine are larger than
the other half; and the number of spark plugs, valves and
intake and exhaust manifold openings is half that of an
ordinary engine having the same number of cylinders. The
inventor, G.A. Bartholomew, of Cleveland Ohio, uses a
principle similar to that of compound steam engines. Only
the small cylinders have spark plugs for ignition. When
the explosion in the small cylinder is almost over, the
hot gases produced pass through a valve into the adjacent
large cylinder, and are mixed with fresh air. Here they
continue burning, using up all carbon monoxide, and
producing additional power with a reduction in fuel
consumption.
