Title: Lawrence R. Folsom and His Variable Displacement Blower

Introduction

Lawrence R. Folsom is an inventor associated with Ohain, Belgium, and Mechanical Technology Incorporated. His recorded patent concerns a variable displacement blower, a design that allows the blower’s displacement to be adjusted.

Latest Patents

Folsom’s listed patent is “Variable Displacement Blower.” It describes a stationary casing that supports a rotating assembly containing open-ended chambers. Pistons slide within the chambers, and their rotation is offset from the rotor assembly’s center of rotation, causing them to reciprocate as the rotor turns. Inlet and outlet ports admit and exhaust the working substance at different points in the pistons’ travel. Adjusting the eccentricity between the piston rotation and rotor rotation changes the blower’s displacement. Folsom is credited with 1 patent.

Career Highlights

Folsom’s documented invention focuses on controlling blower output through a mechanical adjustment to the rotor-and-piston arrangement. He is associated with Mechanical Technology Incorporated.

Collaborations

Folsom’s listed coworkers include Douglass R. Waring and Charles C. Bookout. Their inclusion indicates professional connections, though the available information does not specify their roles in developing the blower patent.

Conclusion

Lawrence R. Folsom’s recorded patent presents a variable displacement blower whose output can be changed by adjusting the eccentricity of its rotating components.
