  • Publication number: 20210354105
    Abstract: An improved device and process for the production of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) having a novel plasma reactor assembly (105) with a gas and water injector (104) that mixes gas (10) and water (103) to produce gas and micro-fine water droplets (106) and injects same into a plasm reactor vessel (125) between electric diodes (128, 129) to yield a nitrous-rich plasma product (107) which is useful in a variety of commercial, agriculture, medical and industrial arenas.

  • Patent number: 11168007
    Abstract: The invention comprises an apparatus, method and system used to treat various liquids, seeds, and soil or other growth media used in cultivating plants by exposure to a plasma discharge. The system comprises a novel electrode structure which utilizes a tapered inner electrode and a porous outer electrode to create a three-dimensional plasma discharge, which is applied to liquid, seeds or growth media through removably attachable sub-assemblies. When used to treat water or seeds, highly-concentrated plasma activated water (PAW) and disease and drought resistant plasma activated seeds (PAS), respectively, are produced, which improve germination rate and efficiency, and eliminate the need for ammonia-based chemical fertilizers.

  • Publication number: 20100180838
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine that includes an engine block assembly, an air intake system coupled to the engine block assembly and an alternative fuel delivery system coupled to the air intake system. The alternative fuel delivery system includes a control module that monitors measurements of operational data of the internal combustion engine from the one or more sensors. In response to the operational data, the control module determines a fuel flow rate of alternative fuel and controls injection of the alternative fuel to provide the determined fuel flow rate of alternative fuel into the air intake system.

  • Publication number: 20100012090
    Abstract: An internal combustion engine includes an engine block assembly, an air intake system coupled to the engine block assembly and a hydrogen delivery system coupled to the air intake system. The hydrogen delivery system includes a control module that monitors an air flow rate through the air intake system. The control module determines a desired volume or mass of hydrogen to be injected into the air intake system in response to the air flow rate to produce a hydrogen to air ratio. As the air flow rate changes, the control module 120 continually updates the desired amount of hydrogen to be injected into the air intake system to produce a predetermined hydrogen to air ratio. The control module controls the hydrogen injector to provide a flow rate of hydrogen fuel to the air intake system to deliver the desired volume or mass of hydrogen.
