  • Patent number: 9541026
    Abstract: A novel heat exchange device to provide sufficient amounts of heat within a manifold including a working fluid within heating coils to generate electricity through an external combustion steam engine and electrical generator is provided. Such a novel heat exchanger includes coils that surround a central heating compartment thereby exposing such coils to gradually increasing temperatures such that the working fluid is first vaporized and then is ultimately superheated to a “dry” steam upon the point of egress of the heat exchanger leading to the engine portion. In this manner, greater efficiency in heating of the working fluid is accomplished with all of the fluid converted to a gas under pressure to effectuate the necessary engine, etc., movement for energy production.

  • Patent number: 9488367
    Abstract: A specific electrical generator powered by an external combustion steam engine that functions through the initial combustion of various potential fuel sources to consequently generate steam from an internal working fluid that drives an electric motor or alternator to generate electricity is provided. The steam is then condensed to return to its liquid form in order to again be heated into steam through further combustion. The all-in-one electric generator combusts the fuel provided within the generator and incinerates such fuel in a manner and in an environment to effectively eliminate the potential for appreciable resultant levels of nitrogen and/or sulfur oxides. The combustion fuel may be any type of material, such as used vehicle or equipment oil, waste vegetable or cooking oil, diesel, gasoline, syngases, natural gases, and the like.
