Bruce G. Baker 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).

  • Electron stimulation via photon emitting radiation
    Patent number: 6474315
    Abstract: The device of the present invention includes a radiation generator capable of emitting photons to a target area, a power supply and a fuel transporter fluidly connected to the target area. Fuel is introduced into the target area via the fuel transporter to inlet nipple. In the target area, preferably a reservoir, the fuel passes over the radiation generator, which may be a non-pressurized ultraviolet element. Alternate embodiments of the radiation generator may include a laser. The invention also includes a process for ionizing a target, such as fuel for combustion, by irradiating the fuel with photons at an effective distance and an effective wavelength not less than about 1×1011 Hz.

  • Ionization combustion energizer
    Patent number: 5829419
    Abstract: The ionization combustion energizer is a process and apparatus to add energy to hydrocarbon based fuels, oxidants and diluents without inducing any exothermic reactions during the process. The energized fuel when combusted will provide a more complete reaction, resulting in more work output per unit measure of fuel, and dramatic reductions of toxic airborne emissions related to hydrocarbon combustion. This same process may be utilized to affect any aqueous or non-aqueous solutions in the same manner. This process also eradicates any micro-organisms present in the affected solutions.
