Centrifugal valve

An apparatus employed to control the flow of a pressurized fluid through a passageway, the operation of which is controlled by the application of a centrifugal force generated by the rotation of said apparatus, said apparatus including a discontinuous supply shaft comprised of (i) an input side, said input side spanning from a connection of said supply shaft with a source of said pressurized fluid to intake passages located anterior to a barrier plate, said barrier plate being located within said supply shaft and (ii) an output side, said output side spanning from exhaust jet passages, said exhaust jet passages being located within said supply shaft, to the point of expulsion of said pressurized fluid;

• a drum housing, comprised of cylindrical borings made through the diameter of said drum housing;
• said cylindrical borings being enclosed by surface caps where positioned within said enclosed cylindrical borings are pistons, each said piston resting against a piston spring located on the exterior end of each said piston between said piston and said surface cap, the area within said enclosed cylindrical borings located on the interior side of said pistons being without said supply shaft and not displaced by said pistons being a piston chamber;
• said drum housing is mounted upon and can rotate with said supply shaft which passes through the center point of said drum housing, said supply shaft being the passageway through which said pressurized fluid flows to the interior of said apparatus where further progression through said apparatus is blocked by said barrier plate which causes said pressurized fluid to proceed into said piston chamber through said intake passages where further progression out from said piston chamber is possible only through said exhaust jet passages being of two different sizes, a smaller leader jet passage and a larger supply jet passage;
• in the stationary position, said exhaust jet passages are sealed by said pistons where the forces working to hold each said piston in the closed position are (i) the force of said piston spring and (ii) the force exerted on said piston by said pressurized fluid within said piston chamber;
• in the state of rotation of said apparatus, the consequent centrifugal force acts to first move said pistons sealing said leader jet passages causing same to slide outward compressing said piston spring and opening said leader jet passages.
