Thrust testing of a coniform cylinder
As a high-pressure hydraulic system, the seals and guides installed offer greater resistance than those of pneumatic systems, but the aim was to be certain that the Pascal's Principle that the larger base of a cone can exert the same force as a standard piston when both receive identical pressure. Thus, these tests show that such a larger base of a cone behaves in the same way as the piston of a standard hydraulic cylinder.
In the tests, the largest base of the cone is 160 mm in diameter, thus 201.06 cm.2. The thrust point of the dynamometer was located 220 mm from its axis, so for a closer estimation, the values are multiplied by 1.22.
1.- Test at 3 barThe dynamometer reads 333 kg of thrust, which when multiplied by 1.22, gives an approximate result of 406 kg.
2.- Test at 7 barThe dynamometer reads 840 kg of thrust, which, when multiplied by 1.22, gives an approximate result of 1,025 kg.
3.- Test at 9 barThe dynamometer reads 1,201 kg of thrust, which, when multiplied by 1.22, gives an estimated result of approximately 1,469 kg.
Decreasing friction loss
Although these tests have not been carried out under scientific conditions, it can be seen that the percentage loss decreases as the applied pressure increases. Thus, in an ideal situation with no losses, a surface area of 201 cm2 subjected to a pressure of 9 bar has a maximum ceiling of 201 x 9 = 1,809 kgf, which means that in the example of test no. 3, there is an actual loss of 344 kgf. 3, there is a loss of 344 kgf real, around 19%.
However, in the above tests, higher losses are observed: Test No. 1 at 3 bar, in an ideal situation without friction loss, should be: 201 x 3 = 603 kgf, but gives 333 kgf (406 kgf actual), which indicates that in this case such a loss is around 33%. Test no. 2 at 7 bar should ideally deliver: 201 x 7 = 1.407 kgf, but it delivers 840 kgf (1025 kgf actual), thus a loss of around 27%.
This means that a increased pressure applied increased efficiency with a lower percentage of leakage. This is because the seals and guides used in the tests are those installed in the prototype, based on a hydraulic system designed to work at 400 bar pressure.
Conclusion
As mentioned above, the importance of these tests is the confirmation that the Pascal's Principle in that the volume contained within a conical cavity produces the same thrust at its base larger than a standard cylinder with the same piston diameter.
Therefore, it is demonstrated that the use of concentric telescopic conical elements in this system allows for the configuration of a very efficient engine which requires low energy consumption for its operation to full powerwith important added benefits, among which are low heat generation, low noise level y easy adaptation to almost any industryincluding the Space. At this point, our imaginations will run wild with other applications and consequences.
