  • Gas stream vortex mixing system
    Patent number: 6886973
    Abstract: A gas stream vortex mixing system for mixing gas is provided. The gas stream vortex mixing system includes a duct provided with an outer surface defining an interior passageway operable for communicating a gas. The gas stream vortex mixing system further includes at least one nozzle and at least one wing. The wing is disposed within the interior passageway of the duct and is operable for generating at least one vortex. The nozzle is disposed within the interior passageway of the duct. The nozzle is operable to discharge a mixture into the interior passageway of the duct.

  • Gas stream vortex mixing system and method
    Publication number: 20020085448
    Abstract: A gas stream vortex mixing system for mixing gas is provided. The gas stream vortex mixing system includes a duct provided with an outer surface defining an interior passageway operable for communicating a gas. The gas stream vortex mixing system further includes at least one nozzle and at least one wing. The wing is disposed within the interior passageway of the duct and is operable for generating at least one vortex. The nozzle is disposed within the interior passageway of the duct. The nozzle is operable to discharge a mixture into the interior passageway of the duct. The present invention provides a method of mixing gas by creating a predictable and ordered vorticity. The method includes providing the gas stream vortex mixing system and providing a supply of combustion gas into the interior passageway of the duct such that the combustion gas passes about at least one of the wings of the gas stream vortex mixing system generating a vortex.

  • Mower support apparatus and system
    Patent number: 5303532
    Abstract: A mowing system capable of being pulled behind a tractor or other prime mover utilizes a support apparatus for supporting a grass cutter adapted to cut grass as the cutter is rotated and moved forwardly into cutting relationship with grass. The support apparatus includes a wheeled frame for supporting the cutter for rotation and including a guard disposed on the forward side of the cutter. A pair of arm members are pivotally connected between the rear of the tractor and the wheeled frame to accommodate pivotal movement of the wheeled frame between an operative position at which the cutter is positioned for cutting grass disposed generally to one side of the tractor and a deflected position.
