Valve apparatus for vehicle
Disclosed herein is a valve apparatus for vehicles that is configured such that the sealability of a valve body can be markedly enhanced. The valve apparatus includes a valve body, a valve member and a sealing unit. The valve body is provided with at least two ports and has an internal space communicating with the ports. The valve member is rotatably installed in the internal space so as to open or close the ports. The sealing unit is provided to seal at least one of the ports. The sealing unit includes a sealing body airtightly installed on an inner surface of the corresponding port, and at least one elastic element integrally provided on a first end of the sealing body. The elastic element axially applies elastic force to the sealing body so that a second end of the sealing body comes into airtight contact with the valve member.

Rotary Cam Radial Steam Engine
A rotary cam radial engine formed of two primary components engaged at a mid section to allow for an easy repair to the vehicle. The device features a body having radially oriented apertures; and a plurality of pistons in a respective reciprocating engagement, within each respective said cylinder. The pistons are driven by low pressure fluids and/or a vacuum and the engine being formed of two main components can be taken apart without tools for maintenance and reconfiguration.
