      boiler by the direct action of the steam upon the water.
      The water is driven into the boiler by the impulse of a

      strikes the stream of cold water it impels; -- also called
      Giffard's injector, from the inventor.

      internal-combustion engines by directly forcing the liquid
      fuel into the combustion chamber at an appropriate point

      in which an air-fuel mixture is drawn in by the downward
      stroke of the piston.
