Abstract: A method and a device are disclosed with which high-temperature combustion is attained using a fuel and an aqueous solution of an organic compound, e.g., an aqueous alcohol solution. In a combustion chamber, a fuel is sprayed and burned with a first burner to elevate the interior temperature of the combustion chamber (and/or a heat-resistant reflector disposed inside the combustion chamber) to a high temperature of 700° C. or above, and an aqueous solution of an organic compound (e.g., an alcohol-water mixture) is subsequently sprayed with a second burner into the high-temperature combustion gas obtained with the first burner, thereby causing microexplosion of water vaper and further elevating the interior temperature. As such, the fuels and organic compounds (e.g., Alcoholic aqueous solution) are fully burned, and thus the fuel cost can be reduced. Thus, high-temperature superheated steam containing a large amount of water vapor is yielded.

Abstract: Disclosed is an emulsion-type water-mixed fuel which is free from separating between an oil and a water, thereby being excellent in stability, has a high combustion efficiency, and an extremely high energy-saving effect. An emulsion fuel, in which an average diameter of the water or the combustible oil is 1,000 nm or less (more preferably, average diameter is 200 to 700 nm), is formed by finely-dividing and mixing the water and the combustible oil by a finely-dividing and mixing means, while adding 10.0 to 150.0 parts by volume of the water with respect to 100 parts by volume of the combustible oil (more preferably, 25.0 to 120.0 parts by volume of the water with respect to 100 parts by volume of the combustible oil). Further, the water to be used preferably has a reduction potential of ?100 my or lower, more preferably ?300 my or lower.

Abstract: A health support device having a lamination of a semiconductor film on a surface of a partially-reduced sintered material of titanium oxide. The semiconductor film is preferably a p-type semiconductor film of silicon or germanium. The partially-reduced sintered material is preferably represented by TiO2−x, where 0<×<0.5. The thickness of the semiconductor film is preferably from 1 nm to 500 nm. In production, a mixture of a titanium oxide powder and a binder is press-molded, and the molded material is sintered at a temperature of from 500° C. to 1100° C. in a vacuum, inert or reducing atmosphere. A p-type semiconductor film is formed on a surface of the resulting partially-reduced sintered material of titanium oxide.

Abstract: A composite medical treating device includes laminations of an n-type semiconductor film and a p-type semiconductor film coated on a surface of a ferrodielectric substance. When the composite medical treating device is affixed to a part of skin having a stiff portion and a pain, potentials of -, +, -, +, -, + are induced on a surface of the ferrodielectric substance in response to changes of potentials of +, -, +, -, + of the epidermis. Since the laminations of the n-type semiconductor film and the p-type semiconductor film are coated on the surface of the ferrodielectric substance, minus electricity is allowed to flow to the epidermis passing through the n-p laminations. However, plus electricity does not pass through the n-p (semiconductor) laminations and does not flow to the epidermis. Thus, the epidermis potential returns from plus to minus potential and is stabilized.
