Apparatus and method of a pneumatic motor propulsion source
A pneumatic motor propulsion source including a friction welding apparatus, a gas accumulator tank operably coupled to the friction welding apparatus, and an air compressor operably coupled to the gas accumulator tank.
1. A pneumatic motor propulsion source comprising:
a friction welding apparatus;
a gas accumulator tank operably coupled to the friction welding apparatus; and
a chemical catalyst tank operably coupled to the gas accumulator tank.
2. The pneumatic motor propulsion source of claim 1 wherein the gas accumulator tank stores compressed gas to power the friction welding apparatus.
3. The pneumatic motor propulsion source of claim 1 wherein the gas accumulator tank stores energy that is dissipated into the friction welding apparatus.
4. The pneumatic motor propulsion source of claim 1 wherein the friction welding apparatus further comprises:
a pneumatic vane motor and actuator.
5. The pneumatic motor propulsion source of claim 4 wherein stored energy in compressed gas within the gas accumulator tank provides power to the pneumatic vane motor.
6. The pneumatic motor propulsion source of claim 1 wherein the friction welding apparatus is operably coupled to a stud or fastener.
7. The pneumatic motor propulsion source of claim 1 wherein the friction welding apparatus is used to friction weld a stud to a work surface.
8. The pneumatic motor propulsion source of claim 7 wherein the work surface further comprises:
a tank or any flat or curved surface.
9. A method comprising:
powering a gas accumulator tank from a compressed gas through a first gas line from a chemical catalyst tank; and
powering a friction welding apparatus from the compressed gas through a second gas line from the gas accumulator tank.
10. The method of claim 9 wherein the gas accumulator tank stores the compressed gas to power the friction welding apparatus.
11. The method of claim 9 wherein the gas accumulator tank stores energy that is dissipated into the friction welding apparatus.
12. The method of claim 9 wherein the friction welding apparatus further comprises:
a pneumatic vane motor and actuator.
13. The method of claim 12 wherein stored energy in the compressed gas within the gas accumulator tank provides power to the pneumatic vane motor.
14. The method of claim 9 wherein the friction welding apparatus is operably coupled to a stud or fastener.
15. The method of claim 9 wherein the friction welding apparatus is used to friction weld a stud to a work surface.
16. The method of claim 15 wherein the work surface further comprises:
a tank or any flat or curved surface.
