Description of the preferred embodiments A single pressurized sphere having a solid core 1 of a material which is capable of oxidizing itself when heated is illustrated in FIGURE 1. This core may be mechanically formed, and may be of any desired shape, but preferably spherical. The core is preferably formed from nitrated cellulose, nitrated glycerine, collodion, or modified black gun powder. It has been found that black gun powder, composed of carbon sulphur, and an oxidizing agent such as potassium nitrate, is most effective. It should be noted that in order to slow down any speed of oxidation, a plasticizer may be incorporated with the gun powder to achieve the desired effect.
The size of the sphere, which appears to be particularly advantageous in the manufacture of rigid structures, i a sphere having a radius of about .45 cc.
The core 1 is then coated with a conductive material 2, such as graphite, silver, or copper, which may be deposited chemically around the core 1. After the conductive material 2 completely encases the core, a deposit of structural material 3, such as iron, chromium, nickel. or their alloys, is preferably electrolytically applied in a barrel plating machine, not shown. Other methods, such as spraying and dipping, may be utilized to achieve a complete coating of the core 1 and conductive material 2.
After a sphere, such as illustrated in FIGURE 1, has been formed, it is then placed within a heat treating pressure furnace, such as schematically illustrated in FIG- URE 2, and by controlled heating, heated to approximately F. The controlled intensified heating of the sphere will convert the core material 1 into a gas, such as is illustrated by the numeral 7 in FIGURE 3. With the core preferably of about .45 cc. radius, the gas 7 which is created from the black gun powder, will equal about 600 atmospheres, or a pressure of about 9000 p.s.i. at 0 C.
When oxidation occurs of the black gun powder core 1, about 700 calories of black gun powder is liberated. Such amount of heat will generally weaken the structural metal 3. To overcome the weakening of the structural material 3, it is preferred that the heated sphere, such as shown in the right-hand side of the furnace in FIG- U-RE 2, be placed in a pressure furnace, not illustrated.
The sphere is then encased in an alloy 4, such as mercury, Woods material, lead, silver solder, or the like, so that as the metal in the pressure furnace, illustrated, expands, it will increase in volume, thereby applying pressure to and increasing the entire pressurized sphere.
The sphere illustrated in FIGURE 4 is similar to that illustrated in FIGURE 1, with the exception that after the structural material 10 has been formed on the sphere, a deposit of binder metal having a lower melting polut than the structural material 10, such as brass or bronze, is deposited therearound. This binder metal may be applied by spraying, or by chemical precipitation.
The illustrations in FIGURES 5 and 6 show a sphere similar to the sphere in FIGURE 3, which has been pressurized, but there is added thereto a relatively small orifice 13 extending from the interior of the sphere through a wall to the exterior. The gas 12 in FIGURES 5 and 6 is preferably a highly compressed smoke which can be produced from a core of black powder with a sufficient excess of powdered charcoal that only part of it is oxidized. upon combustion. The particular structure illustrated in FIGURES 5 and 6 is adapted for use as a tracer whereby when the sphere is struck with a blow, the plastic cap 14 will be disengaged from over the orifice 13, allowing the smoke 12 to be expelled in a trail 15, such as is seen in FIGURE 6.
It should be realized that any type of chemical may be added to the core 1, which will produce a colorable gas or vapor 12, such as illustrated in FIGURE 7. In the case of the sphere of FIGURE 7, the exterior coating is made relatively thin, so that on impact it will burst, expelling the colored gas 12.
The sphere illustrated in FIGURE 8 is depicted to represent a sphere to be used as a ball bearing. When such is desired, the coating is preferably of hard chrome. Such a structure as illustrated in FIGURE 8 will produce a strong, lightweight ball bearing.
FIGURES 10 through 14 illustrate a modified embodiment of the pressurized sphere structures in the form of vacuum spheres. In this embodiment, vacuum spheres are prepared by blowing thin walled glass spheres, by any suitable means. The core 21 is then encased within a layer of material, such as magnesium or a magnesium alloy deposited thereon. The deposit of such material is preferably formed by spraying magnesium powder onto the outer surface of the glass sphere 21.
After the layer 22 is deposited on the sphere, structural metal 24, of the type previously described, is then applied to the sphere. After the spheres have the structural metal applied, it is preferred that they be placed in a plating barrel containing a zinc cyanide bath, including zinc oxide, sodium cyanide, and sodium hydroxide, and heated to a temperature of between 100 to 125 F. The zinc coated spheres are then rinsed and dried.
The structure as illustrated in FIGURE 10 is then placed in a furnace such as schematically illustrated in FIGURE 11, where, upon heating, the glass spheres 21 will break, exposing the air, whereby the nitrogen and oxygen combine with the magnesium or magnesium alloy, so that the reaction of the nitrogen and oxygen with the magnesium produces a vacuum 23.
FIGURES l5 and 16 illustrate a tubular structure suitable for binding a sphere such as illustrated in FIG- URES 1 and 10, into a rigid structure. The ducts or tubes are made of layers of material as hereinafter described, which decompose and melt at predetermined temperatures in a pressure heat furnace, so as to form hollow structures which are bound together in the position in which they are formed. This binder and hollow tube structure consists of a core 31, similar to the core 1 of FIGURES 1 through 4. The core 31 is preferably covered with a fabric 32 of asbestos. The fabric 32 is then encased in a layer of metal 33. The outer surface of the metal layer 33 is a surface to which solder or other metal may be applied to bond the tube to the spheres.
The fabric 32 is preferably such that it will burn slowly, yet retain its original shape until the binding material 33 has cooled and chilled to a solid state before the organic fabric has burned and fallen apart.
Once the tubular structures illustrated in FIGURES 1 5 and 1 6 are prepared and pressurized, they may then be placed amongst a plurality of pressurized spheres illustrated in FIGURE 3, or vacuum spheres illustrated in FIGURE 12. In order to bind the various spheres and tubes together, it is desired that a binding metal, such as solder, not shown, be applied, so that as the spheres and tubes are heated, the resultant structure, as illustrated in FIGURES 18 and 19, will be accomplished, whereby the spheres and tubes are fused together.
In FIGURE 18 there is schematically illustrated a pressure furnace including sides 37 and top andbot-tom 39 of the furnace, which are preferably movable so that the spheres and tubes within the furnace which are being heated may expand outwardly against the end or bottom 39 because of the changing volume created by heat treating. On the righthand side of FIGURE 18, represented by the letter B, the completed structure is illustrated in its fused, finished, rigidified form.
A structure such as illustrated in FIGURE 17, formed into desired shapes and sizes, creates eflicient heat bar riers and/or encasement for machinery parts.
It can be seen that the tubes illustrated in FIGURE 15 are sealed, so that the pressure can be maintained in the core area.
Although I have herein shown and described my invention in what I have conceived to be the most practical and preferred embodiments, it is recognized that departures may be made therefrom within the scope of my invention, which is not to be limited to the details disclosed herein but is to be accorded the full scope of the claims so as to embrace any and all equivalent structures and devices.
I claim:
1. A rigid structure comprising a plurality of substantially equal size, independently sealed, hollow, rigid spheres having an interior pressure substantially different from atmospheric pressure at ground level, said spheres being maintained together in a predetermined rigid shape and compacted to abut one another, a plurality of independently sealed, substantially parallel, hollow tubes, said tubes being diametrically disposed between said spheres, and being of sufiicient external diameter when positioned in the spaces between said spheres to abut each of the surrounding spheres, and a rigid bonding mass of filler material which fills the interstices between said spheres and said tubes to bind them together and rigidity the structure.
2. A rigid structure as defined in claim 1, wherein the interior pressure of the spheres is greater than ground level atmospheric pressure.
3. A rigid structure as defined in claim 1, wherein the interior pressure of the spheres is less than ground level atmospheric pressure.
