    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Nelson_Pogue

    Charles Nelson Pogue (15 September 1897 – 1985) was a Canadian mechanic and inventor who in the 1930s filed a series of US patents for a miracle carburetor (sometimes called the Winnipeg carburetor [1]) that would allegedly enable a car to attain 200 miles per US gallon (1.2 L/100 km; 240 mpg ‑imp); it was described as a vaporising carburetor or sometimes a catalytic carburetor.

  3. Oil pump (internal combustion engine) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oil_pump_(internal...

    Placing the oil pump low-down uses a near-vertical drive shaft, driven by helical skew gears from the camshaft. Some engines, such as the Fiat Twin Cam engine of 1964, began as OHV engines with an oil pump driven from a conventional camshaft in the cylinder block. When the twin overhead cam engine was developed, the previous oil pump ...

    The engine's cycle of operations including sectional drawings and indicator diagrams for both gas and petroleum fueled versions. Details of the way the liquid fuel was introduced are described over 11 pages of Dugald Clerk's book Gas and Oil Engines. [7] The petroleum engine in these tests was made by the "New York and New Jersey Ready Motor ...

    [28] [29] This design, called a hot-bulb engine used a 'jerk pump' to dispense fuel oil at high pressure to an injector. Another development in early diesel engines was the pre-combustion chamber, which was invented in 1919 by Prosper l'Orange [30] to avoid the drawbacks of air-blast injection systems

    It is similar to that of a piston pump, but the high-pressure seal is stationary while the smooth cylindrical plunger slides through the seal. Plunger-type pumps are often mounted on the side of the injection pump and driven by the camshaft. [4] These pumps usually run at a fuel pressure of 3,600–26,100 psi (250–1,800 bar). [3]

  8. Bendix-Stromberg pressure carburetor - Wikipedia

    An accelerator pump is either remotely mounted or mounted on the carburetor body. The accelerator pump is either mechanically connected to the throttle, or it is operated by sensing the manifold pressure change when the throttle is opened. Either way, it injects a measured amount of extra fuel into the air stream to allow smooth engine ...

    Original design incorporating a leather bellows which was replaced by a piston. This image was published 1908 and 1909 A pair of SU carburettors from an MGB. The SU carburettor is a constant-depression carburettor that was made by a British manufacturer of that name or its licensees in various designs spanning most of the twentieth century.
