Luke J. Turgeon has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20170029966
    Abstract: An electrolytic generator to produce a stoichiometric mixture of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas features a case penetration. An electrode extends through the case penetration and clamps a support plate to the inside of the case. The electrode and the support plate are electrically insulated from the case by a non-conducting bushing located within the case and between the support plate and the inside surface of the case. First and second plates are interleaved and maintained in a spaced apart relation along the first and second plate fasteners.

  • Publication number: 20160047284
    Abstract: Oxyhydrogen (HHO) generated by an HHO generator hydrogenates solid carbon to liquid and gaseous hydrocarbons in the exhaust system of an internal combustion engine, such as in the particulate filter of a diesel engine to clean the solid carbon from the particulate filter without conventional regeneration. Discharge of the HHO to the exhaust system also reacts with NOx in the exhaust gas to reduce the NOx. The HHO may be discharged to a plurality of locations to clean solid carbon and reduce NOx emissions from a diesel engine.

  • Patent number: 9140181
    Abstract: A primary reciprocating engine is combined with a secondary turbine engine. The turbine engine utilizes the exhaust of the reciprocating engine as fuel, resulting in an increase in efficiency and reduction in emissions over a conventional reciprocating engine alone. The secondary turbine engine powers secondary functions of the reciprocating engine, such as relieving the back pressure at the exhaust ports, driving the turbocharger that pressurizes the air intake, and driving an electrical generator. Oxyhydrogen (HHO) used to ignite the reciprocating engine exhaust and complete combustion of the reciprocating engine fuel is obtained by disassociating distilled water into hydrogen and oxygen using the electricity from the electrical generator.

  • Patent number: 4785345
    Abstract: An integrated transformer structure is disclosed. In one embodiment, the primary transformer winding is formed using dielectrically isolated (DI) technology so as to isolate high voltages applied to the transformer primary from other components in the substrate. Alternatively, conventional junction isolated technology may be used, where physical separation between the integrated transformer and other components may be provided. In accordance with the present invention, the primary winding comprises a planar spiral formed with a low-resistivity material and incorporated with the substrate. An insulating layer is then formed over the primary winding. A planar spiral configuration is also used to form the secondary winding, where the secondary may be formed of a deposited metal and is formed on top of the insulating layer so as to be directly above the primary winding. The result is an effective air-core transformer structure capable of isolating thousands of volts.
