  • Micro-combustor system for the production of electrical energy
    Patent number: 7781671
    Abstract: A system for the production of electrical energy, comprising: a combustion chamber (14) made of material that is able to withstand high temperatures, an injection device (16) connected to said combustion chamber (14) by means of an injection conduit (15), means (17) for supplying combustion support substance into the combustion chamber (14) and means (18) for the removal of gaseous combustion products, means (26) for the selective emission of radiation onto the outer surface of the combustion chamber (14). The combustion chamber (14) is enclosed in a conversion chamber (20) within which are maintained sub-atmospheric pressure conditions, so that a substantial part of the heat developed by the combustion reaction is converted into electromagnetic radiation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 3, 2003
    Date of Patent: August 24, 2010
    Assignee: C.R.F. Societá Consortile per Azioni

  • Lighting device
    Publication number: 20050174760
    Abstract: A lighting device has a light source, comprising a volume (11) inside which combustion of a fuel-comburent mixture is confined. A photonic crystal structure (16) is positioned inside the volume (11). The photonic crystal structure (16) operates to inhibit or limit emission from said passage of at least a part of infrared radiation and simultaneously allow emission of visible light radiation.
