| 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. | ||||||

| A method and apparatuses used in several interdependent energy transducing [energy] passageways. Each passageway uses [at least one] flow generators such as mechanical compressors, direct and indirect gravity [upon the generative fluid], condensing, [means and] heating [means], absorption [means], adapted turbo-jet engines, [flow] generation and storage of hydrogen and oxygen; uses vehicles [means] to control and direct the generative fluid such as pipes, valves, a liquid medium, nozzles, hoods, channels, etc. The flow generators drive the generative fluid through the controlling directing vehicles [means] thus producing different manifestations of energy which are converted into usable energy [(including hydrogen and oxygen)] by [transducing] artifacts [means] such as rotative-propulsion turbines, vortex turbines, train-turbines, conventional turbines generators, adapted turbo-jet engines and by artifacts [means] for producing hydrogen and oxygen. The power of hydrogen and oxygen impelled by liquid is also transduced, stored and optionally [later] burned for additional transduction. | ||||||

| 145 | Reduced pollution hydrocarbon combustion gas generator | US863486 | 1997-05-27 | US5970702A | 1999-10-26 | 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. | ||||||

| 148 | System for generating hydrogen | US566486 | 1995-12-04 | US5634341A | 1997-06-03 | 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. | ||||||

| A process is disclosed for generating and temporarily storing generated electrical power in electro-chemical, chemical and electro-mechanical mediums and for efficiently reconverting the stored energy back to usable AC electrical energy. In one embodiment of the process, alternating current is converted to direct current which is used to power a chlorine-sodium hydroxide electrolysis cell. Process steam, from a steam generating source, and fuel gas are combined in a reformer process to produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide. The carbon monoxide is then recycled with process steam to form additional hydrogen and carbon dioxide. In addition, the process steam is used to liquify air to form oxygen. The chlorine, hydrogen, carbon dioxide and oxygen gases produced by the processes, are compressed and/or stored in appropriate tanks. The sodium hydroxide is processed, stored and then fed to hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells. The stored hydrogen and oxygen are fed to the hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells, thereby generating direct current which is then inverted to form alternating current. The alternating current is fed into the alternating current power grid for distribution to power consumers. The chlorine is used as a fuel oxidant or may be utilized in water processes. The carbon dioxide is used in refrigerant and other processes. | ||||||
| 159 | Hydrogen-fueled internal-combustion and steam engine power plant | US45000174 | 1974-03-11 | US3918263A | 1975-11-11 | SWINGLE BENNY F |
| A power plant is disclosed comprising two internal combustion engines, which are powered by a high-hydrogen-content fuel, and a single steam engine. A steam-engine cylinder is approximately eight times as great in volume as are internal combustion engine cylinders. A coolant jacket surrounds both the internalcombustion engines and the steam engine and an insulating jacket surrounds the coolant jacket. This power plant employs the following method to drive a rotating shaft: The hydrogen-fueled internal-combustion engines produce exhaust gases of high steam content. This steam is fed to the steam engine where it is expanded, thereby causing a reduction of both temperature and pressure. The reduction in temperature allows a heat transfer from the coolant jacket to the steam in the steam engine, and this heat, plus the reduced pressure maintain the steam in a gaseous state. The steam is then condensed. Such condensing produces even higher negative pressures in the steam cylinder for driving a piston. The power plant includes an apparatus for compensating for varying quantities of steam exhaust gases produced by the internal combustion engines with changes in engine load. The compensating apparatus mixes additional steam with the exhaust gases before they are drawn into the steam cylinder, in response to a decrease in the amount of fuel air mixture fed to the internal combustion engines. The compensating apparatus obtains additional steam from the water jacket which surrounds the power plant. Another embodiment of the power plant of this invention comprises two wankel-type internal-combustion engines and a rotary-type steam engine.
