A gas turbine is also divided into a plurality of units (3A to 3C) with multiple axes. Further, not only extracted steam (9A and 9B) from the compressors (1A and 1B) but also the extracted steam (12A and 12B) from the second turbine (6) and the extracted steam (13A and 13B) from the exhaust of the third turbine (8) are used as cooled steam for gas turbines (3A to 3C) and the combustion chamber (2).
102 Hydrogen fueled power plant US734153 1996-10-21 US5775091A 1998-07-07 Ronald Leo Bannister; Richard Allen Newby; Wen Chin Yang
A power plant that combusts hydrogen with oxygen in a high pressure combustor to produce steam, which is mixed with cooling steam before being sent to a high pressure expander, which expands the steam and generates rotating shaft power. The expanded steam is mixed with steam from the combustion of hydrogen and oxygen in an intermediate pressure combustor and expanded in an intermediate pressure turbine, thus generating more rotating shaft power. The steam from the intermediate pressure turbine is fed into a heat recovery steam generator that cools the steam and heats water streams to form cooling steam for at least one of the turbines and the combustors. The now cooled steam exits the steam generator and passes through a low pressure turbine, thereby generating more rotating shaft power, and is condensed into the water streams for heating into cooling steam in the steam generator.
103 Reduce pollution hydrocarbon combustion gas generator US479928 1995-08-25 US5709077A 1998-01-20 Rudi Beichel
A gas generator is provided for generating gas including steam and carbon dioxide from the combustion of a hydrocarbon gas with oxygen. The gas generator includes an enclosure with an induction head (201) having an oxygen inlet and a fuel inlet therein, an adapter block (202) to which the induction head (201) attaches and a mixing chamber (203) to which the adapter block (202) is attached. The fuel and oxygen enter the enclosure by first passing through the induction head (201). A start up igniter (210) is located within the induction head (201) to ignite the fuel and oxygen mixture within the enclosure. The adapter block (202) includes a shroud extending away from the induction head (201) and which defines a combustion chamber within the enclosure. The fuel and oxygen mixture is combusted within the combustion chamber before passing out of the shroud of the adapter block (202) and into the mixing chamber (203). The mixing chamber (203) includes a water inlet for the induction of water into the mixing chamber (203) to cool the combustion products exiting the combustion chamber and heat the water entering the mixing chamber (203) from the water inlet. The gas generator generates gas both directly as steam and carbon dioxide which are products of the combustion of the hydrocarbon fuel and the oxygen and by raising a temperature of the water entering the mixing chamber (203) from the water inlet to above its boiling point such that the water is turned into steam. The steam from the combustion chamber and the steam from the water separately entering the mixing chamber (203) are mixed and discharged together at an end of the mixing chamber (203) opposite that of the adapter block (202). The oxygen entering the induction head (201) is free of nitrogen so that the products of combustion are free of nitrogen containing pollutants.
104 Integrated steam motor US103546 1993-08-09 US5606859A 1997-03-04 Gennady Ploshkin
This invention is directed to an engine having an external combustion chamber for creating a vapor under high pressure. The vapor under high pressure is introduced to a high pressure cylinder for moving a high pressure piston. The vapor, upon leaving the high pressure cylinder, flows to a low pressure cylinder for moving a low pressure piston. The pistons are attached by connecting rods to a swash plate. The pistons move in a rectilinear movement. The swash plate converts the rectilinear movement to a rotary movement for a rotary output crankshaft. The external combustion chamber can be fueled by air and also by a solid, liquid, or vapor. The solid can be powdered coal. The liquid can be hydro-carbons or an organic material. The vapor can be one of many such as a product of combustion of hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen and oxygen can be burned to produce a high temperature and high pressure steam. The introduction of high pressure vapor into the cylinders and running of the engine is self-timing due to the metering system for metering a liquid such as water to be turned into vapor or hydrogen and oxygen into the pressure chamber for burning and conversion into water. A set amount of liquid or hydrogen and oxygen are introduced and made into steam to be introduced into the high pressure cylinder. There is an introduction of combustible material and vapor which is then released to the high pressure cylinder and this process continues. The metering system is mechanical and self-regulatory. One of the main advantages of this invention is that there are few moving parts and a simple control system for controlling the speed of operation of the engine.
105 Hot gas generator system US273893 1988-11-21 US4942733A 1990-07-24 Gregory S. Hosford
A hot gas generator system which includes a combustor and a condenser, with the combustor connected to the condenser for condensing the product of combustion from the combustor. A hydrogen supply is connected to the condenser and then to the combustor whereby the hydrogen absorbs heat from the combustion product as it condenses and the hydrogen thereby is preheated prior to entering the combustor. An oxygen supply is connected to the combustor for mixing with the hydrogen during combustion. The combustor is part of an integrated heat exchanger/combustor whereby a minor portion of the hydrogen passing through the condenser is used in the combustor for burning purposes and a major portion of the hydrogen is passed through the combustor for superheating the hydrogen prior to delivering the hydrogen to a prime mover, such as a thruster or a turbogenerator of a space platform or the like.
106 Electrical energy production apparatus US141154 1988-01-06 US4841731A 1989-06-27 Gene Tindell
A solar-powered system for supplying large quantitites of usable power consists of an array of photo-voltaic cells which drive an electrolysis generator in which water is converted into oxygen and hydrogen gases. The oxygen and hydrogen gases are initially stored and then mixed in stoichiometric amounts and delivered by means of a water-cooled discharge nozzle to a burner chamber in which the gases are recombined. High pressure steam produced by the oxygen/hydrogen recombination is discharged from the burner to a turbine generator. Condensed water is collected from the turbine and used as distilled water for domestic uses or returned to the electrolysis generator.
107 Energy storage system for electric utility plant US963374 1978-11-24 US4353214A 1982-10-12 James H. Gardner
A method for storing excess energy produced by an electric utility during low energy demand periods, utilizing a closed system with a gaseous fluid as the energy storage medium and turbine working fluid. The fluid medium is stored at low pressure in an underground cavern which is located near a commercial electric utility system. During low energy demand periods, electrical output from the utility is channeled to the subject invention for conversion to potential energy, stored in the form of pressurized fluid in a second, high pressure cavern. This fluid transfer is accomplished by a compressor powered by excess electric output of the utility. During peak periods of power demand, a stream of the pressurized fluid is heated and expanded through a turbine/generator combination to generate electrical output. This electrical power is then used to supplement the utility output to meet the higher level of energy requirement arising during peak demand periods. The expanded fluid medium is subsequently returned to the low pressure storage cavern, pending recycle through the closed system. Various embodiments are disclosed illustrating use of excess electric utility output to accomplish the heating and to supply the compression energy to operate the system.

The oxygen is passed to the air intake of the engine carburetors, while the hydrogen is conveyed to a carburetor therefor. Also included is a carburetor for conventional hydrocarbon fuels. The two carburetors are connected by linkage which may be operated either manually or by pressure to vary the ratio of the carbureted fuels which are delivered to the engine.Certain auxiliary equipment is provided in the form of an air-cooled condenser in the working fluid system, a supply tank for the hydrocarbon fuel, which ordinarily is gasoline, a water supply tank, a tank for receiving hydrogen under pressure, a pump for the hydrocarbon fuel, a pump for the working fluid system, a pump for delivering water from the water tank to the electrolysis cell and a hydrogen pump which passes hydrogen to the hydrogen carburetor and/or the hydrogen tank.In a modification, power is derived from the engine exhaust to drive a turbo-generator which delivers DC current to the electrolysis cell. This current may be supplemented by that provided by a generator that is driven by a turbine powered by the working fluid of a system that is heated by the cooling system of the engine.
110 Gas generator and enhanced energy conversion systems US426524 1973-12-20 US3975913A 1976-08-24 Donald C. Erickson
A gas generator is disclosed which will simply and reliably effect a gas producing reaction between a gaseous and a liquid reactant. The generator can operate at elevated temperatures and has heat exchange means incorporated. The gas generator is applied as a hydrogen generator to an energy conversion system in which hydrogen from the hydrogen-producing reaction powers a fuel cell and the reaction heat from the hydrogen producing reaction powers a thermal engine, thereby enhancing the energy conversion system relative to one in which the hydrogen generator is merely cooled and its heat is rejected as waste heat. Other possible energy conversion systems based on this gas generator are disclosed.
111 Closed cycle energy conversion system US28995372 1972-09-18 US3826092A 1974-07-30 COSBY T
A system for utilizing heat energy to perform work has closed cycle fuel and power subsystems. In the fuel subsystem water is disassociated by electrolysis in a generator chamber. The hydrogen and oxygen are burned in a combustion chamber, evaporating a working fluid in an evaporator chamber of the power subsystem. The temperature of the combustion chamber is such that water is discharged as steam under pressure and operates an air motor to drive a generator. The steam is then condensed and pumped back to the fuel generating chamber. In the power subsystem the evaporated working fluid drives a turbine to perform work. The discharge from the turbine operates a low pressure motor to drive a second generator. The working fluid is cooled in a heat exchanger to the liquefaction temperature, liquefied by a compressor and returned to the evaporator. Both generators supply electrical energy to the fuel generator and additional electrical energy is supplied as needed from an outside source.
112 Supercritical thermal power system using combustion gases for working fluid US3736745D 1971-06-09 US3736745A 1973-06-05 KARIG H
A supercritical thermal power system including components conventionally included in a Rankine cycle, uses a portion its own combustion gases as its only working fluid. The system recirculates all the combustion gases, cools them, and purges the excess amounts from the system. The cooled remainder portion is reheated to conserve energy and mixed with oxygen and fuel in the combustion chamber to lower the temperature of the burning gases to pass cooler combustion gases to a turbine for minimizing failure otherwise due to excessive heat in the system. By using a portion of the system''s own combustion gases as the only working fluid, the system''s overall efficiency is significantly increased over contempory systems.
113 Production of heated gaseous materials from cryogenic liquids US3692459D 1971-05-24 US3692459A 1972-09-19 ERB GEORGE H
Production of heated and/or pressurized gaseous products from a source of principal gas in liquefied form which contains oxygen such as liquid air and a separate source of liquefied fuel gas which consists at least in part of hydrogen in free or combined form. The liquefied principal and fuel gases are pumped as liquids at predetermined volumetric rates into heat exchanging means where they are vaporized. The vaporized gases are mixed in the heat exchanger or, when separate heat exchangers are used, the vaporized gases are subsequently mixed and passed over a catalyst to cause all of the hydrogen to combine with at least some of the oxygen to form water, in the form of water vapor, and heat, the heat thus produced being effective to raise the temperature of the entire volume of the mixed gases. The amount of hydrogen, having regard for the amount of oxygen in the mixture is so regulated, by control of the relative rates of pumping of the liquefied materials, that the mixture of gases is not combustible in the ordinary sense, that is the mixture cannot be ignited and will not support a self perpetuating flame at normal temperatures or at the temperature to which the mixture is heated by catalytic reaction. The energy contained in heated and/or pressurized gaseous product is utilized in any desired way, such as driving suitable engines, turbines or the like, or it may be utilized for heating of enclosed spaces.
