Ericsson’s Air Kligtue*
In a lato letter from Capt. Ericsson to tbo
London 7'imcs, the following passage occurs:
“ That caloric, as a motive power, is not now
even in this country, is quite true; it has gene
rated steam for tbo propulsion of our steamers,
upwards of forty years. But caloric has not
before been applied to atmospheric air for pro
ducing motivo power, and propelling ships on
the plan adopted by me. Air engines have, it
is true, boon planned and made in nearly all
civilized countries, during the last half century.
The caloric engine, however, origiuated with
in© —its form, as well as its name.”
The claims to originality here set forth, will
certainly never be disputed. No other inventor
will ever claim the/orw of Ericsson’s Machine;
and amongst machinists, he is the only one ca
pable of applying the name , to suedi an engine.
This name, however, has probably had much to
do in giving celebrity to the invention.
For many years there has been floating
through the popular mind, a confused and misty
idea of the identity of Caloric with Light, Elec
tricity and Magnetism : and wo havo been prom
ised, mouth after month, and year after year,
an application of Electro-magnetism, which
should as a motive power, exceed, and super
sede steam. And when Ericsson announcod his
discovery of “ Calorie as a motive power,” it
was eagerly seized upon by the novelty-loving—
semi-scientific public, as a long-hoped for tri
umph over the monster steam ; and for months,
tho papers all over tho country, havo been
teeming with articles of tho most extravagant
character—headed, “ Caloric as a motive pow
er"—“Caloric Ship” “Calorie Engiuo”
“.Steam Superseded,” Ac.
Tho following, from a South-western paper,
is a fair oxamplo of tho manner in which men
ignorant of tho subject, are in the habit of wri
ting about this invention:—“There, was a
huge ship, going against wind and tide at the
rate of nine miles an hour, with a far less amount
of fire than is used on steamers—propelled by
an engine of great simplicity, which was opera
ted altogether by caloric.”
Now, the truth is simply this—the power of
tho Ericsson engine is derived wholly from tho
oxpansion of Atmospheric Air by Caloric, —just
as the power of tho steam engine is derived
wholly from the expansion of wator by Caloric.
Tho latter is as justly entitled to, and as prop
erly characterized by tho name, “ Caloric En
gine” as the former. I hare said thus much
about the name , bccauso I am cortain that the
use of it has had tho effect of confusing the
minds of most people with referenco to the real
character of the motive power of the new en
gine.
It is my present purposa to lay before your
readers, in as plain language as possiblo, a do
peription of the Ericsson Air Engino ; —not the
one he patented in England in 1833, nor the
ono patontod in that country in 1850, and in the
United States in 1.851. lie has thrown both
these aside. It is tho Engino of tho “ Caloric
Ship Ericsson,” with which I wish to make tho
public familiar.
Tho fact of the expansion of air by heat, or
caloric, (for in popular language tho terms are
used synonymously) may bo illustrated suffici
ently well for our present purpose, by a very
simple experiment—familiar to every school
boy.
Tie strongly the neck of a common bladder,
nearly filled with air, and hold it near a fire.
Tho air within will immediately begin to ex
pand, and will soon distend the bladder to its
utmost capacity—and if tho heat bo continued
longer, it will finally explode, from the pressure
of the expanded air within.
Another experiment, which I will illustrate
by a diagram, will more fully explain tho pro
duction of motive power, by tbo expansion of
air. Take a common tin syringe, or forcing
pump,
Figure 1.
with tho piston well packed, and placed at the j
point a, one half tho distance from bto c. Fit
the plug and, tightly into the orifico of the pump :
now apply tho flame of a lamp to tho portion of
tho pump ‘between a and b, and heat tho air
| contained therein. Tho air thus heated will ex
pand, and will exert a pressure in every direo-
I tion, but the only movable part of the apparatus
! being tho piston p, this piston will be pushed up
! wards, until It occupies the position of tho dott
ed iiucs at 0. Whatever may ho the tempera
! sure of the air below tho piston at tho time tho
; heat is applied, it will require the addition of
•191 dog. to expand it to double its original volume
—and while thus heated, if the piston be held
immovable at a, the pressuro will be 15 lbs. on
[ the square inch of surface. Now if the piston is
, allowed to rise, the pressure will diminish con
tinually, until the dotted linos o are reached,
j when it will cease entirely. Tho mean pressure
j then of air thus used ns motive power , will bo
| 7I lbs. on the square inch ; tho difference bo
i tween the extremes.
This experiment corresponds in every essen
tial particular with tho first, and most impor
tant step in tho operation of tho Ericsson En
i gine;—the most important, because, it is from
I the expansion of air, and its action upon tho
j piston, as here represented, that all tho power
]of that Engine is derived. All the parts, and
operations m Ericsson’s Engino—not here repre
sented serve only to supply fresh uir, und econ
omize fuel.
We arc now prepared to exainiuo tho follow
ing diagram.
Figuro 2.
I ‘^ ;
Lot it he distinctly understood that this diagram
is not presented as a drawing of Ericsson’s En
gine. But as a simple representation of tho
different essential parts of that machine, —which
will assist in illustrating tho principles involv
ed in its operation. Many ingenious contri
vances which aid greatly in the well working
of tho machine, are oinited because they would
tend to complicate the description, and confuse,
rather than assist in tho explanation.
A. A. A. represents tho working Cylinder,
B. B. tho supply Cylinder, C. and D. D. the pis
tons working in these Cylinders, connected
firmly with each other by strong pillars 0. 0.
E. is the regenerator,—its cavity communica
ting with the working Cylinder by tho pipe T.
with the receiver P. P. by tho oponing under
tho valve K. and with tho escape pipe H. by
the valve I. L. is a valve in tho piston of tho
supply Cylinder, and opens iuto that Cylinder,
M. is a similar valve, in the head of the Cylin
der, and opens into tho receiver P. P. Tho
Regenerator E. is a cubical box tilled with
Webbs of wiro net work. K. is a valve which
opeus or closes tho communication between tho j
regenerator E. and tho receiver P. Tho valve
I. in tho sumo manner, opens or closes the com
munication between the regenerator und the
escape pipe H.
This diagram represents ono half of the En
gine only. There is another pair of Cylinders
with their regenerator, receiver, tfcc. precisely
like these, and connected with them by means
of a working beam, (represented by the dotted
lines X.)so that, whenever the pistons of ono
pair of Cylinder’s are down, those of the other
pair are up.
To set the Engine in motion, tho valves K.
I. ami M., being closed air is forced into
tho Receiver until it has a pressure of about
12 lbs. to the square inch. Firo is kindled in
the furnace S. and the bottom of tho working
Cylinder is heated. The valve K. is now open
ed and the air passes from tho Receiver through
tho regenerator and tho opening T. into the
Cyliuder A. under the piston C. The valve K.
is now closed, the air becomes expanded
by the heat of the furnace, and forces tho pistons
upward.
When’this action commences, tho valve L. is
closed, and the valve at M. is open, consequent
ly the cold air which fills tho Cylinder B. B. is
forced through the opening M. and condensed
in tho receiver P. P. This upward stroke be
ing finished, the same procedure is commenced
in the other pair of Cylinders, the pistons of
which ascend, and consequently those of tho
first pair docond. But at tho moment the de
scent commences, the valve I. is opened,and the
hot air, which fills tho working Cylinder, is
forced through the pipoT. into tho regenerator,
and through the regenerator ami valve I. into
the escape pipe H. and thence into tho open
air. During the passago of tho hut air through
tho regenerator, it gives up a portion of its
heat to tho wiro net work of which it is com
posed.
During this downward stroke, tho valvo at
M. is closed, which prevents the return of tho
air, from tho receiver, into the Cylinder, and
tho valve L. is open, permiting tho free pas
sago of fresh air into tho Cylinder.
At the moment when tho downward stroke is
completed, tho valvo I. is closed, and tho valvo
K. is opened. Now tho air which was by tho
upward stroke, condensed in tho receiver, is
permited by its own elasticity to oscapo through
the opening K. into tho regouator, and through
this into tho Cylinder A. In passing through
tho regenerator,the cold air absorbs tho heat left
there by the hot air during its escape.
Tho valve K is now closed, and tho air, re
ceiving additional heat from tho furnace, ex
pands and again forcos the pistons upwards—
again compressing into the receiver, a charge
of cold air from the supply cylinder B. B. The
further working of the engine consists of a suc
cession of the actions already described,except
ing, that the filling of the working cylinder b y
tho hand air pump, is not repeated; all the air
used after tho first stroke being furnished by tho
| supply cylinder.
1 Capt. Ericsson’s engine is described by him
! self and others as having what engineers call a
I cutoff. When tho piston of tho working cylin
der has made three-fourths of its stroke, the i
ingress i)f tho air, into the cylinder is cut
off—leaving tho piston to bo pressed up
ward in tho last one-fourth of its stroke, by tho
i elasticity of the air already received. But a
practical mechanic will at once see, that this
! can have little or no effect in the air engine— I
valuable as it is in tho steam engine. For the
quantity of air use d at each stroke of the piston
is precisely tho quantity which the supply cvl
j indor contains ; ami if communication with tho
■ working cylinder, is cut off when only one-half,
or fchroo-fourths of the air in tho receiver has
| passed into it, the result will simply be, that
i there will ho a larger quantity of air, in a more
condonsed state, left in tho supplying parts of
! tho engino ; and this air will, in proportion to i
j tho degroo of its condensation—first, resist the
action of tho supply cylinder, and then, when
; tho communication with tho working cylinder
j is again opened, a larger quantity will pass into
i that oylinder. Thus, after a sow strokes of the ‘
j engine, the-proportions of air into different parts
will become equalized—nnd tho quantity of air
j worked in tho working cylinder will be precisely
j tho quantity pumped into tho receiver, at each
, stroke of tho supply cylinder’s piston.
I The ship “Ericsson” is propelled by two cn
j ginostsho has therefore,four working cylinders,
I which are 11 feet diameter each, and fuur sup
; ply cyliudors of 12 feet diameter each.
Tho power of those onginos is thus cs tiinatcd
|by Ericsson and his friends. Each working
} cylinder having 22,300 square inches of piston
■ area—a pressure of 10.96 lbs. per square inch,
j 0 feet stroke, and 11 revolutions per minute, — ‘
j gives 82,121.125. This divided by 33,000, gives I
the horse power of the engines, which is 2,488.
But a large portion of this power is expended I
iu compressing the air iuto the receiver. Tho
loss thus accruing is thus estimated. The sup
ply pistons have an area of 14,79*4 inches each,
I giving 59,176 square inches of piston area. The .
mean resistance is said to he 9.31 lbs. por square
inch—making 1,409 horse power. Thisdoduct
| ed from tho 2,488, leaves 1,079 ; and further
| deducting 479 horse power, as a liberal amount
for friction nnd other losses, an effective force j
of 600 horse power remains as propelling power. |
This is perhaps as favourable a calculation !
as cau be made. The estimates of others, gives
a much smaller amount of power. Tho Editor
of tho “Scientific American”—makes an esti
mate which gives only 250 horse power. It
will he noticed that Ericsson's estimate supposes
a velocity of 14 revolutions of the shaft per
minute. The “Scientific American’s,” estimate
recognizes the actual velocity attained in the
trial trip, which was 9 revolutions. Tho Editor
of that paper has also corrected several errors
which occur iu the calculations of Ericsson's
friends, and shows very clearly that tho power
cannot oxcocd his estimate, of 250 horses. To :
pursue this branch of the subject would occupy
100 much space, I therefore leave it.
That hot air may be used instead of steam for
the propulsion of machinery, has been long
known. Stirling’s hot air engine was in opera
tion iu Scotland in 1527, ami was described in
in Galloway A Ilcburt’s history of the steam
Engine published in London iu 1832,—before
Ericsson obtained his first patent. Tho ques
tion therefore is not, cau hot air bo substituted
for steam ? but, cun it bo done profitably ? And
let it bo remembered that tho idea of profit, in
volves other considerations than those of cost
of fuel, and wages of firemen. Tho grand con
sideration, which will ever swallow up all others,
is speed. Iu this ossential quality, tho trial of
the Ericsson, has thus far proven her to be de
ficient. I know that 9 miles an hour, against
wind and tide has been given as her average
speed—but nothing like it has been authenti
cated. In his letter to the Editor of the “ Lon
don Times,” Ericsson does not claim for his
ship an average speed of more than 7 miles an
hour with six tous of coal in twenty four hours,
on tho trip from New York to Washington. But
even 9 miles por hour will not cnublc her to
compote with steamers.
Wo are told, however, that this is hut a first
experiment, and we should hope much from the
fact that its success far excoods that of tho first
attempts to use steam as a motive power—that
the art of using Caloric is in its infancy, fce. Ac.
Now, this is not tho truth. Some of the best
Machinists the world has produced, havo been
thinking, and working, upon tho idea, for more j
than fifty years. Soores of working air engines |
have been constructed; and hundreds, nay
thousands, of experiments have been made with
air as a motivo power. lii addition to this, tho
Scientific investigations, which have been pur
sued over since the introduction of steam as pow
er.with reference to tho principles of its genera
tion and action, havo thrown almost as much
light upon the mechanical use of air, as upon
that of steam itself. The samo may bo said of
the progressive improvements that havo been
introduced in the construction of stcum machine
ry. Thoro remains littio for the Air Engineer
to do. Laot him ,adpt proportions, suited to
the differences between air and steam, in
volume, —expansibility,—capacity for heat Ac.,
1 and his work is dono. Whether steam will evor
j bo superseded by air is another question.

The Runaway Captain.
A few days since we called attention to tho
! supposed melancholy loss of life resulting from
i tho wreck of tho ship William and Mary, while
i on her passage from Liverpool to New Orleans,
i To-day wo publish the details of the rescue of
I oil the passengers but two, and their safe arri
val at tho Bahamas. Tho circumstances of
| this case are not a little peculiar. The fault,
| ns iu too many cases, is traceable to the man
j ifest iucompoteuey of the officers of tho ship.
The event has proved that there was not only
a possibility of preserving the vessel, but the
\ lives of all tho persons on board of her. Iu
j three or four hours’ time, according to tho nc
! counts wo now receive, the bark could havo
been run ashore and her cargo .could havo been
saved. The Captain and his mates evinced al
together too much anxiety to be gone from an
unpleasant sceue. The small boats were swung
off in marvelous haste, and the few who suc
ceeded in manning them pushed away in ea
ger speed, leaving tho despairing wretches on
board to shift for themselves as they might.
Tbo statements of tho rescued parties indicate
very clearly that tho direction and energetic
control, by tho Captain und bis officers, of the
motley crew of emigrants ou board, would have
precluded all danger of ultimate disaster. A
hundred measures to insure the safety of the
ship could then have been adopted, which were
totally unknown to the unskilled men left to die
’ A wrecking schooner, the last place from w hich
I aid might naturally be expected in such an e
j mergency, finally succeeded in rescuing all hut
two of the passengers and crow remaining on
board the ship, and the destitute emigrants are
now lodged and fed, poorly enough at tho small
port of Nassau, in the Bahamas.
Tho course pursued by Captain Stinson in for
saking his vessel, and afterward reporting his
incagro statement that the ship wont down, prob
ably with nil on board, is such as to awaken
lively sentiments of indignation. The narra
tive of the rescuo indicates that great fault
lies at a single door and there cun be no apolo
gy for a neglect of duty so palpable and so cru-

JUST RECEIVED, a supply of Silver’s Mineral
Paints, fire aud weather proof colors; unfading.
Silver’s Mineral Paints, differ essentially from all oti.,
ers In market. They are not Clays, they mjuirea lit
tle Oil, they do not work toughly, but flow easily ns
White Lead. They lay on a very heavy body, set light
away and become an indestruetulde covering of flint.
They neither crack nor peel, aud require no stronger
dryer than white lead.
I have a variety of colors Red.Yellow.vurious Browns
and Jet Black. They are superior in body (or cover
ing property) to any thing ever discovered, and pound
forjMmnd will cever double the surface of while lead
or Zinc Mineral Paints and require less oil.
1 am now prepared to cover tin Roofs, as nothing ad
heres to Tin like Silver’s Mineral Paints. For sale by’
