TL;DR: In this paper, the actual engines ion chambers (called the ion thrusters) and other new ionic motors proposed by the authors are presented in a short time and compared to the classic system based on combustion.
Abstract: Speaking about a new engine ionic means to speak about a new aircraft. The paper presents in a short time the actual engines ion chambers (called the ion thrusters) and other new ionic motors proposed by the authors. The engine (ionic propulsion unit of ions, that accelerates the positive ions through a potential difference) is approximately ten times more efficient than classic system based on combustion. We can further improve the efficiency of the 10-50 times in the case in which is used the pulses of positive ions accelerated in a cyclotron mounted on the ship; efficiency may increase with ease of a thousand times in the case in which the positive ions will be accelerate in a synchrotron high energy, synchrocyclotron or isochronous cyclotron (1-100 GeV). For this, the great classic synchrotron is reduced to a surface-ring (magnetic core). The future (ionic) engine will have a circular particle binding (energy high or very high speed). Thus we can increase the speed and autonomy of the vessel, using a smaller quantity of fuel. It can be used a radiation synchrotron (synchrotron high intensity), with X-ray or gamma radiation. In this case, will result in a beam engine with the wiring (not an ionic engine), which will use only the power (energy, which may be solar energy, nuclear energy, or a combination) and so we will eliminate the fuel. It is suggested to use a powerful LINAC at the outlet of the synchrotron (especially when one accelerates the electron beam) in order not to lose power by photons of the emission premature. With a new ionic engine practically builds a brand new aircraft that can move through the water and air with the same ease. This new aircraft will be able to expedite directly, without an engine with the additional combustion and without the gravity assistance.

TL;DR: In this paper, an internal combustion engine is described in which opposing identical pairs of pistons drive back and forth arm ends of a centrally pivoted beam which is symmetrical about its pivot.
Abstract: In the disclosed internal combustion engine opposing identical pairs of pistons drive back and forth arm ends of a centrally pivoted beam which is symmetrical about its pivot. Torque is extracted from the beam through an eccentric mechanism which is located between the end of one arm and the pivot. The other arm is provided with a symmetrically located second eccentric mechanism symmetrically spaced from the pivot and substantially identical with the first as regards the dynamic balancing, but not connected to the same output shaft as is the first eccenter mechanism. Also disclosed are combinations in which two or more such engines are connected together as units so that one or more of the units may be completely decoupled from the output shaft and thus inactivated. A special controllable coupling connecting the main shafts of such multiple units permits selective disengagement of the units and synchronized reengagement with predetermined relative angular orientation. Lubrication of the beam pivot is particularly effective when the beam is pivoted on the rotating output shaft of the engine, since that permits an effective lubricant film to be maintained.

TL;DR: In this article, the standing remains of early pre-Cornish engine houses are analyzed, defined as buildings for housing engines with indoor vertical cylinders operating outdoor pump-rods via an overhead beam.
Abstract: Over many years the author has made a study of beam engine houses. In this article he analyses the standing remains of early pre-Cornish engine houses, which are defined as buildings for housing engines with indoor vertical cylinders operating outdoor pump-rods via an overhead beam. An Appendix lists some 40 engine houses with substantial above-ground remains.

TL;DR: In this paper, a beam engine with two connected measuring levels was used to balance a hollow body on a beam arbor, which was fixed and upwards pointing. The rotation of the hollow body was performed by an engine with a belt.
Abstract: The procedure uses a beam engine (1) with two connected measuring levels (3). A hollow body (6) is accommodated loosely on a beam arbor (8), which is fixed and upwards pointing. The rotation of the hollow body is powered by an engine (9) with a belt (10). The balancing is performed while the hollow body rotates.
