METHANOL-ENGINE

Patent NO 345283 shows a methanol engine.

Methanol engine

Rotor

House

Patent NO 345965

3 single engines mounted together and hydraulic operated shovels.

House patent NO 346550

Rotor patent NO 346550

Pictures shows a methanol engine, where methanol gas is supplied to the center of the house.

When the gas is ignited the pressure makes the rotor turn, due to the hinged shovels.

By removing the check valves at the center chamber the engine becomes a turbine, which is applicable in the wave energy converter of the overtopping type.

Patent NO 345965 is one of several patents dealing with the technology of methanol engines, and shows 3 single engines mounted together.

Patent NO 345965 also shows how the shovels can be operated hydraulicly.

Patent NO 346550 «Momentjustert Rotormotor» registered at Petter Ottesen is the last patent and shows a balanced engine.

Methanol and air in a mix between 6-30% ignites in center of the engine.

The engine factory Wärtsilä got the methanol engine in 2021, and maybe methanol engines have been tested by now.
