| 92 | Rechargeable open cycle underwater propulsion system | US11117009 | 2005-04-28 | US07128624B1 | 2006-10-31 | Jeffrey S. Goldmeer; William H. Girodet |
| In an underwater vehicle, hydrogen and oxygen are fed into a combustion chamber of a combustor of the underwater vehicle to initiate a combustion reaction, which generates high-pressure steam. The high-pressure steam can be cooled with the injection of seawater, and can be condensed into high-pressure water by the addition of sufficient seawater. High-pressure water is then ejected out of the combustor, generating thrust for the underwater vehicle. Sensors that measure the combustor pressure and the external pressure could be used to adjust the combustor pressure, allowing for constant velocity as the depth of the underwater vehicle changes. Alternatively, the sensors could adjust the area of an exit nozzle of the combustor. Stored water can be converted back into hydrogen and oxygen by using electrical power external to the system. After regeneration of the water into hydrogen and oxygen, the propulsion system would be ready for operation again. | ||||||
| 93 | Method for the separation of residual gases and working fluid in a combined cycle water/steam process | US10530820 | 2003-07-14 | US20060117735A1 | 2006-06-08 | Wolfgang Harazim |
| The invention relates to a method for the separation of residual gases and working fluid in a combined cycle water/steam process, which provides for the multi-stage compression and multi-stage expansion of the mixture of working fluid and reaction products from the additional liquid and/or gaseous fuels, by the use of steam. The aim of the invention is the minimisation of the working fluid losses and minimisation of the additional necessary energy use. Said aim is achieved, whereby the expanded exhaust gas from the high pressure turbine stage (19) is subjected to a cooling process which cools the same to the condensation temperature of the steam contained in the exhaust gas (6). The non-condensed parts of the exhaust gas (6) are bled off, whereby the condensation of the working fluid, the bleeding off of non-condensed residual gases (25), the depressurisation of the working fluid condensate and the evaporation of the condensed working fluid are carried out in a residual gas separator (10). | ||||||
| 94 | Environment-friendly engine system | US11093251 | 2005-03-29 | US07043918B1 | 2006-05-16 | Shu Lee |
| An environment-friendly engine system is characterized by that hydrogen gas that fuels the engine is generated from water by electrolysis and that the electric power for electrolysis is supplied by a fuel cell in a water fuel tank and a leadacid cell connected in parallel with the fuel cell. As the engine system is operating, the fuel cell burns methyl alcohol or ethyl alcohol to generate power for activating water electrolysis that produces hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas fuels a hydrogen engine, and the steam produced in the engine is used to drive an electricity generator and subsequently a turbine, whereby the electricity is stored in a leadacid cell used together with the fuel cell. Thereby, the engine system is safe to operate and produces no any of the greenhouse gases, truly friendly to the environment. | ||||||
| 95 | Reheat heat exchanger power generation systems | US10798182 | 2004-03-10 | US07021063B2 | 2006-04-04 | Fermin Viteri |
| A reheat heat exchanger is provided particularly for use in Rankine cycle power generation systems. The reheat heat exchanger includes a high pressure path between a high pressure inlet and a high pressure outlet. The reheat heat exchanger also includes a low pressure path between a low pressure inlet and a low pressure outlet. The two paths are in heat transfer relationship. In a typical power generation system utilizing the reheat heat exchanger, the high pressure inlet is located downstream from a source of high temperature high pressure working fluid. An expander is located downstream from the high pressure outlet and upstream from the low pressure inlet. A second expander is typically provided downstream from the low pressure outlet. The reheat heat exchanger beneficially enhances the efficiency of power generation systems, particularly those which utilize expanders having inlet temperatures limited to below that produced by the source of working fluid. | ||||||
| 96 | Low pollution power generation system with ion transfer membrane air separation | US10716004 | 2003-11-17 | US06945029B2 | 2005-09-20 | Fermin Viteri |
| A low or no pollution power generation system is provided. The system has an air separator to collect oxygen. A gas generator is provided with inputs for the oxygen and a hydrocarbon fuel. The fuel and oxygen are combusted within the gas generator, forming water and carbon dioxide. Water or other diluents are also delivered into the gas generator to control temperature of the combustion products. The combustion products are then expanded through at least one turbine or other expander to deliver output power. The combustion products are then passed through a separator where the steam is condensed. A portion of the water is discharged and the remainder is routed back to the gas generator as diluent. The carbon dioxide can be conditioned for sequestration. The system can be optimized by adding multiple expanders, reheaters and water diluent preheaters, and by preheating air for an ion transfer membrane oxygen separation. | ||||||

| A low or no pollution engine is provided for delivering power for vehicles or other power applications. The engine has an air inlet which collects air from a surrounding environment. At least a portion of the nitrogen in the air is removed using a technique such as liquefaction, pressure swing adsorption or membrane based air separation. The remaining air is primarily oxygen, which is then compressed and routed to a gas generator. The gas generator has an igniter and inputs for the high pressure oxygen and a high pressure hydrogen containing fuel, such as hydrogen or methane. The fuel and oxygen are combusted within the gas generator, forming water and carbon dioxide with carbon containing fuels. Water is also delivered into the gas generator to control a temperature of the combustion products. The combustion products are then expanded through a power generating device, such as a turbine or piston expander to deliver output power for operation of a vehicle or other power uses. The combustion products, steam and, with carbon containing fuels, carbon dioxide, are then passed through a condenser where the steam is condensed and the carbon dioxide is collected or discharged. A portion of the water is discharged into the surrounding environment and the remainder is routed back to the gas generator. | ||||||

| 100 | System for generating hydrogen | US853284 | 1997-05-09 | US5867978A | 1999-02-09 | Martin Klanchar; Thomas G. Hughes |
| A process and apparatus are disclosed for generating hydrogen gas from a charge of fuel selected from the group consisting of lithium and alloys of lithium and aluminum. The charge of fuel is placed into an enclosed vessel, then heated until it is molten. A reactant consisting of water is introduced into the vessel, as by spraying from a nozzle, for reaction with the charge of fuel resulting in the production of hydrogen gas and heat which are withdrawn from the vessel. Prior to initiation of the process, an inert gas atmosphere, such as argon, may be imparted to the interior of the vessel. A sufficiently large mass flow of the reactant through the nozzle is maintained to assure that there be no diminution of flow resulting from the formation on the nozzle of fuel and chemical compounds of the fuel. Optimum charges of the fuel are application specific and the ranges of the constituents are dependent upon the particular use of the system. The process and apparatus of the invention may be incorporated into a Rankine cycle engine or into a hydrogen oxygen fuel cell system. | ||||||
