  • Oxygen extraction apparatus and process
    Patent number: 7935176
    Abstract: A facility and process capable of extracting oxygen in extraterrestrial environments from materials available in extraterrestrial environments, for example, on planets, planetoids, etc. The facility extracts oxygen from a mineral-containing solid material and is configured to form a free-falling molten stream of the solid material, evaporate at least a portion of the molten stream and produce a vapor containing gaseous oxygen, create a supersonic stream of the vapor, condense constituents of the supersonic stream to form particulates within the supersonic stream, separate the gaseous oxygen from the particulates, and then collect the gaseous oxygen.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 23, 2008
    Date of Patent: May 3, 2011
    Assignee: Packer Engineering, Inc.
    Inventors: Rodney L. Burton, Peter J. Schubert, Filip Rysanek, Paul Fenoglio, Mike Hutches
