618,735. Hydraulic turbines and pumps. WIGLEY, G. A. Nov. 27, 1946, 35121. [Class 110 (iii)] A turbine wheel 14 is driven by a stream of water induced in an injector 28 by the discharge of combustion products from a chamber 4. The turbine wheel includes an outer shell 13 and axial flow pump blades 19 are mounted, with axial adjustment, on the shell. The blades 19 pump water from the sump 1 through the annular passage surrounding the turbine to the axial delivery 27. Water is drawn by the injector from the same sump through passages 10. The turbine may deliver into the main outlet 27. The combustion chamber may be located outside the main casing 20. The neck of the combustion chamber has perforations 35 through which water passes to mix with the products of combustion. The neck may be renewable.
