  • Non-oxidizing hydrocarbon fuel reformer and a method of performing the same
    Publication number: 20050013772
    Abstract: A system and a method is provided for a hydrocarbon fuel reformer. The system and method include a technique for separating hydrocarbon fuels into smaller particles and/or droplets. Separating the hydrocarbon fuels into smaller particles and/or droplets allows for the hydrogen and carbons to be separated. The hydrocarbons are broken down into smaller particles and then dissociated into gaseous hydrogen and particulate carbon. Once dissociated, the mixture can be separated to produce hydrogen and carbon in elemental state for use as fuels.
