  • Patent number: 7806966
    Abstract: Compressed Air from an aircraft/rocket engine's compressed air line to its air-conditioning system, or an Auxiliary Air Compressor out-put is used, for energizing a high-speed gas turbine. The very high-speed convoluting air discharge into a vortex cone causes a first separation of the Air gas components, by stratifying into heavier (Argon), medium (Oxygen) and lighter (Nitrogen) components, where in the heavier and lighter components are non-combustible, inert gases and the medium is a combustible gas. The lighter non-combustible component (Nitrogen) exits from the turbine in one direction for storage in the Inert gas tank. The heavier (Argon) and medium (Oxygen) components together move in the opposite direction for having a second stratifying separation downstream in the vortex tube, to separate non-combustible, heavier (Argon) gas from combustible medium (Oxygen) gas components.

  • Patent number: 6398851
    Abstract: Exhaust gases from an internal combustion engine operating with leaded or unleaded gasoline or diesel or natural gas, are used for energizing a high-speed gas turbine. The convoluting gas discharge causes a first separation stage by stratifying of heavier and lighter exhaust gas components that exit from the turbine in opposite directions, the heavier components having a second stratifying separation in a vortex tube to separate combustible pollutants from non-combustible components. The non-combustible components exit a vortex tube open end to atmosphere. The lighter combustible, pollutants effected in the first separation are bubbled through a sodium hydroxide solution for dissolving the nitric oxide, formaldehyde impurities in this gas stream before being piped to the engine air intake for re-combustion, thereby reducing the engine's exhaust pollution and improving its fuel economy. The combustible, heavier pollutants from the second separation stage are piped to air filter assemblies.

  • Patent number: 4399107
    Abstract: The invention provides a pair of exhaust gas separation stages comprised in a gas separating vortex tube having an exhaust gas operated turbine impeller or rotor with stator wheels. The system combination also includes a mixing chamber for heavier and lighter combustible gas components subsequent to separation, wherein such components are directed to the top surface of a water charge in the mixing chamber, and further includes a pair of chemical separation chamber downstream of the mixing chamber containing specified chemicals wherein the mixing chamber removes substantial parts of formaldehyde and nitrous oxides while the chemical chambers remove acetaldehyde and higher aldehyde components. Finally, the gas mixture from the chemical separation chamber passes through a water scrubber to remove traces of chemicals which may be used to keep traces of chemicals in the chemical chamber from reaching the engine.
