NEW PErROLEUM ENGINE. To produce a small engine that can be operated by the combustion of petroleum is a problem that has raceived the attention of uite a number of our best inventors. hat there is a great demand for small power machines there is no question; and the almost unlimited supply of petroleum, and the low price it is sold for, induce the seeker for a cheap, small power to turn his thoughts in the direction of petroleum for the fuel. The English newspapers make mention of a new petroleum engine just brought out, which they claim has less objectionable features than most other petroleum engines which have been tried. The trial experiments were made at Messrs. Priestman Brothers, Holderness Foundry, Hull, England. ‘The petroleum is stored in asmall tank containing one to two duys’ supply, as the case may be. A small pressure of sir is put into this tank, and the petroleum is forced out of it into a vessel in a vaporized condition, in which itis then drawn into the cylinder by the Out-stroke of the piston; and having been compressed on the iustruke, the charge is ignited by means of a small electric spark. This immediately explodes the contents in the cylinder, and the piston is driven for- ward. The engine iu which the highly re- fined petroleum is used is very similar to that in which the common petroleum is em- ployed, the only difference being that in the latter engine the oll is taken into the cylin- der ina heated condition. ‘lhe cost of the oilis estimated at a half-penny to three farthings per indicated horse power per hour. Four horizontal engines were at work, two with benzoline and two with common petroleum. One of about three and a half indicated horse power, supplied with benzoline, was driving easily four blasts at which chain makers were at work, beside a punching and a shearing machine. A vertical engine of about four horse-power was driving a tram car and doing work with ease. The tests were considered by the invited engineers present to have been most satisfactory.
