NO820819L - REACTOR FOR USE OF WATER AND A CARBURIZING MIXTURE AS FUEL - Google Patents

Description

The invention relates to a device which allows the conditioning of a water and carburizing agent mixture, limited to pure water, which causes an electromagnetic reaction capable of producing hydrogen and a plasma-like state of matter, for use in engines and heating systems.

The invention relates to the use of electromagnetic energy which is primarily obtained from a fuel, and then from a water and fuel mixture and finally from pure water,

in the form of thermomagnetic energy (burners, steam boilers, etc.) or drive energy. (combustion engines or reaction engines).

Decomposition of water into its basic elements (oxygen and hydrogen) can be carried out, either by an "electrolytic" or an "electromagnetic" process. Both processes require a significant amount of electrolytic or electromagnetic energy-stored oxygen and hydrogen, transport of these elements and delayed use of these.

The device or reactor, as it is proposed to be used according to the invention, is not exposed to such disadvantages as electromagnetic decomposition of water can be achieved quickly and directly, to the extent that it is used. The necessary and indispensable heat-generating energy of the internal electromagnetic reaction is secured within the "cycle" which is limited to the proper application which eliminates uncritical disadvantages and dangers inherent in the usual processes.

Another advantage of the method or solution according to the invention is that energy is produced in a much more economical way.

The reactor according to the invention transforms the mixture before introducing it into the engine's inlet manifold. This mixture consists of water and carburizing agents (gasoline, diesel oil, alcohol, ammonia, etc.), limited to pure water, considering its use in an engine or a heating system.

The reactor known in France as the "Chambrin device" (French patent no. 75 06619) makes it possible, on the basis of advanced research carried out in Brazil, to put into practice the thermonuclear plasma theory that improves the reactor's efficiency and economic operation. The aforementioned theory is based on another mechanical movement principle,

i.e. the electromagnetism. A gas is elastic, and if it is heated strongly, it changes to plasma which is stirred in its interior and consequently produces an electric current which, after adaptation, provides hydrogen which develops.

Although the so-called Chambrin device has also produced hydrogen, this was not achieved with the efficiency as with the present reactor in which the achieved efficiency is due to an increased rotation speed of the gases inside the reactor.

The invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings, where fig. 1 shows a front view of a reactor according to the invention in connection with an internal combustion engine, fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the embodiment in fig. 1, fig. 3 shows a perspective view of an outer embodiment, fig. 4 shows a plan view of a reactor, fig. 5 shows a cross-section along the line 1" - 1<1> in Fig. 4,

and fig. 6 shows a cross-section along the line 2<1>- 2' in fig. 4.

As can be seen from the front view in fig. 1, a reactor 1 is placed between an already modified carburettor 2 and the engine block 3, so that the reactor is well integrated into the engine itself. The increased rotation speed of the gases in the reactor provides a better utilization of the engine's power and performance, which is achieved with the one in fig. 3 showed connection 9 between the engine's outlet manifold and an outlet 10 from the reactor.

Based on the description of the energy-generating process and the results obtained with the many experiments carried out, it can be confirmed that the device is an efficient reactor for using a mixture of water and carburizing agents as fuel.

The experiments that have been carried out so far with different models show that the observed temperatures under certain operating conditions were approx. 800° C at the outlet 7 of the engine 3 outlet manifold 5 (fig. 2), approx. 500° C at the reactor 1 outlet, and approx. 30 0° C at the end of the 2 meter long outlet pipe 6 which leads away the burnt gases 8.

The inlet manifold 4 and the outlet pipes 5 from the engine

3 leads the gases to high temperatures. This also happens with the new pipe connection 9, 10 in fig. 3. The reactor, which even before this connection could be considered unique on the background of the ongoing, advanced research and experiments, became even more efficient with this connection. The reactor can also be built in other geometric shapes and work according to the same principle.

The basic operating principle for the reactor according to the invention can be described as follows: The direction of the path of the gases is in fig. 4 from A to Bi the center of the reactor where there is a very hot zone 11 near the outlet manifold. The area near the outer walls forms a less warm zone 12. The difference in temperature between these two zones is approx. 400° C under the conditions in which the experiments were carried out. The cold, pulverized and dispersed mixture along the pipe 13, 14 ending in the less hot zone 12 is gradually heated in rotary movements (see the cross-sections in Figs. 5 and 6) in contact with the walls of the peripheral cover before it flows into in the very hot zone 11 in the central area. At this point, the mixture reaches a maximum temperature just after its entry into the engine's inlet manifold through a pipeline located in the very hot zone and puts the central area in contact with the engine, taking the shortest route.

From a necessary "thermal jacket". (English: "thermal cap") is therefore the very hot part of the central area the basis for a "thermoelectric decomposition" of the added mixture. Such a condition is essential for the use of the mixture as an active agent for the engine. The new collector or collector 9, 10 in fig. 3 accelerates the process and provides a more beneficial utilization of the engine's power and performance.

All collectors 5, 6 and 9 must be suitably protected from external temperatures.

The engine used, regardless of its origin, does not need any special changes, but must have a compression ratio of around 12 - 20, and the inlet and outlet pipes must allow installation of the reactor. It is also of interest that the engine is equipped with a multiple ignition system and spark plugs with high "electric shock" voltage, with rotating capability. The carburettor used is of the classic type,

but the float, primary air inlet atomizer and jet must be precisely adjusted as the supplied mixture can change during operation. When the reactor is cold, it is fed with a classic fuel (e.g. petrol or alcohol). As soon as the engine reaches its crossover temperature, the injected fuel gradually or spontaneously brings about a complex mixture, by weight or volume, of a more and more reduced amount of alcohol and up to the limit of pure water. The physiochemical nature of the mixture, and consequently its specific gravity, may therefore vary during operation. This makes it possible at all times to adjust the combustion system in accordance with the supplied mixture.

During the experiments carried out, it surprisingly turned out that the added amount of "primary air" could be reduced as far as the amount of water contained in the mixture was increased. This shows that a developed carburettor must act as a reaction to the different variability criteria, either with help

by manual means or by automatic means, or both automatic and manual means together. The vehicles will have to have tp tanks, a small tank for the pure fuel and a normal tank for the mixture containing water. Feeding by means of electric pumps, constant pressure and variable consumption combined is the best supply method.

The direct injection must be carried out at the inflow level inside the reactor, and not at the combustion chamber level. At least two pumps are required, one adjusted to the main fuel (such as alcohol) and the other adjusted to the mixture or pure water. The adjustment can be carried out by using a "double-acting" tap which either shuts off the mixture or clean water, or lets in or opens for this.

In consideration of the high temperatures that are registered inside the reactor's central area 11, and to ensure good mechanical behavior of the reactor, this consists of a thick crown wheel which is made of a material with high thermal conductivity. The tubes in which the consumed gases circulate are laid across the crown wheel from side to side.

The inflow of the mixture in the central area takes place in the less hot zone 12 through calibrated holes where the sum of the cross-sections of the holes corresponds exactly to the cross-sections of the passages. These holes are arranged to facilitate the path of the fluid.

The tubes provide passages so that the sum of their diameters at all points corresponds to the diameter of the passage leading out the burnt gases. Seven pipes are arranged, one central and six peripheral pipes as shown in fig. 5 and 6. The non-fluted parts are used for pre-heating pipes. Such an arrangement provides a well-fixed, mechanical assembly.

The direction of the mixture's path or flow must necessarily be the same as the motor's direction of rotation to avoid opposing magnetic fields preventing the mixture's flow from its rotating movement or screw movement.

The outside is designed to fit the inlet branch pipe leading to the carburettor 2 in the cross-section of the passage, transitioning from a usually circular cross-section to a similar, elongated, rectangular cross-section.

For manufacturing reasons and to achieve easy assembly, the central area consists of two different parts. The one part, which is covered, has at one end, next to the very hot zone, an external screw thread 13 for receiving the adjacent part. The second part is, regardless of the previous part, screwed to the latter part. This is not externally covered, but is provided with an outlet pipe which is directed in a favorable manner to enable its connection with the engine inlet pipe. The new pipeline that joins the engine's outlet pipe with the reactor's less hot zone can be attached by various means, e.g. be welded or screwed.

In order to avoid heat loss both at external inflow and outflow connection levels and on the device's perimeter, and a gradual rise in the prevailing residual temperatures at the reactor's outlet (approx. 500° C), the reactor has a "heat shield" which, as it encloses the assembly, on the one hand can reheat the outer walls of the reactor, and on the other can insulate all elements exposed to high temperatures from the outside.

The new collector pipe 9 consists of a connection with this shield from the outlet pipe 7 to the less hot zone 10

in the reactor.

The heat shield consists of two metallic walls of pure copper that are separated from each other by means of a heat insulator - asbestos or a similar product - of sufficient thickness, so that the outer wall will be more or less warm. A guide plate or diverter is placed to provide a well distribution (English: well. distribution) of the gases that hit the heat shield. This must be regarded as a way of ionizing the supplied mixture if the engine block is isolated from the sun, which can be carried out by using an electronic oscillator.

Finally, it should be noted that the investigations carried out and the results obtained have shown that the feeding of the reactor indicated here is the most effective, although further studies may lead to other improvements.
