  • Publication number: 20130181460
    Abstract: The instant invention comprises improved Means for the creation of electrical energy, mechanical energy, H2, O2 and other useful products; wherein, there is minimal to no release of COX, NOX or SOX. The instant invention comprises Reforming and Sunlight to create H2; wherein CO2 from Reforming is converted to O2 in a 3d PBR; and wherein, Sunlight is converted into electrical energy and/or H2 and O2. The instant invention comprises Means for production of at least one of H2 and O2 from Sunlight; wherein, use of Sunlight is significantly and unexpectedly improved. The instant invention separates Sunlight into two wavelength portions, that which is Infrared and that which is Visible; wherein, Infrared heats an Aqueous Solution to produce electricity from steam; and wherein, Visible produces electricity via PV and/or is supplied to the 3d PBR. The instant invention relates to improved methods for combustion of H2 and O2.

  • Patent number: 8161748
    Abstract: This invention presents improved combustion methods, systems, engines and apparatus utilizing H2, O2 and H2O as fuel, thereby providing environmentally friendly combustion products, as well as improved fuel and energy management methods, systems, engines and apparatus. The Water Combustion Technology; WCT, is based upon water (H2O) chemistry, more specifically H2O combustion chemistry and thermodynamics. WCT does not use any hydrocarbon fuel source, rather the WCT uses H2 preferably with O2 and secondarily with air. The WCT significantly improves the thermodynamics of combustion, thereby significantly improving the efficacy of combustion, utilizing the first and second laws of thermodynamics. The WCT preferably controls combustion temperature with H2O and secondarily with air in the combustion chamber. The WCT preferably recycles exhaust gases as fuel converted from water.

  • Patent number: 8123944
    Abstract: In the field of water treatment, this invention relates to economical methods, processes and apparatus for preparing Class A bio-solids wherein: dewatering costs and energy costs are efficient, the solids product has reduced ammonia and sulfide odor, and the concentration of solids in the aqueous solids may vary from approximately 3 to approximately 90 percent. This invention presents mesMophilic and thermophilic digestion in concert, wherein mesophilic digestion incorporates strains of Thiobacillus with nitrifiers to remove sulfide(s) and ammonia from bio-solids. Chemical dewatering of thermophilic digested bio-solids is accomplished incorporating a cationic, quatemized or an anionic polyacrylamide with at least one selected from a list consisting of: an aluminum salt, an iron salt, an amine comprising a quatemized nitrogen moiety and any combination therein. A quatemized polyacrylamide is presented alone.

  • Publication number: 20110017874
    Abstract: The instant invention relates to improved means for the storage of H2 and O2, wherein the H2 and/or the O2 is stored on a vessel, ship or other non-Earth body in Space, whether manned or unmanned. Further, the instant invention relates to improved means for the storage of fuel, preferably hydrogen (H2) and oxidizer, preferably oxygen (O2), wherein the H2 and O2 are obtained from at least one storage tank or obtained by electrolysis of water (H2O). The instant invention does not require a hydrocarbon fuel source. H2O is the primary product of combustion; while in many embodiments of the instant invention, H2O is separated into H2 and O2, thereby making H2O an efficient method of storing fuel and oxidizer.
