Abstract: A power generating system and method operating at high pressure and utilizing a working fluid consisting of a mixture of compressed non-flammable air components, fuel combustion products and steam. The working fluid is substantially free of CO and NOx. Fuel and compressed air at an elevated temperature and at a constant pressure are delivered to a combustion chamber, the amount of air being chosen so that at least about 90% of the oxygen in the air is consumed during combustion. The quantity of air and fuel supplied to the combustion chamber may be varied provided a constant fuel to air ratio is maintained. Superheated water is delivered under pressure to the combustion chamber, and is converted substantially instantaneously to steam. The quantity of water delivered is controlled such that the latent heat of vaporization of the water maintains the temperature of the working fluid at a desired level.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for weaving a woven endless tire reinforcing belt on an endless weaving surface in a zig-zag pattern. The apparatus comprises input means for receiving information defining said zig-zag pattern; means for storing said pattern-defining information; central computer control means for reading said stored information and controlling the weaving of said belt as defined by said information; at least one endless weaving surface upon which said belt is woven; said weaving surface being continuously rotatable about an axis; means for continuously rotating said weaving surface about said axis, said rotating means being responsive to said central computer control means; at least one reinforcement guide means for supplying cord reinforcement to said weaving surface; and at least one means for reciprocating said guide means to effect the laying of said cord reinforcement on said weaving surface, said reciprocating means being responsive to said central computer control means.
