    摘要: A constant pressure, Brayton cycle gas turbine method and apparatus including a combustion chamber and a turbine and using a hot-cool operating cycle comprising a hot phase alternating with cool phase. Gas is continuously fed to the combustion chamber and from the combustion chamber to the turbine. During the hot phase all of the gas fed to the turbine is hot. The gas temperature during the hot phase is higher than the turbine could withstand in a continuous burn mode. However, the time period of the hot phase is less than the time it would take for the turbine blades to "soak" to the high temperature of the hot gas. This provides a high combustion temperature and high efficiency at all times, eliminating the part-load efficiency loss of the prior art, and also eliminating the need for high temperature materials as well as the prior art compressor requirements for large amounts of air. The gas turbine can be of the closed cycle or open cycle type. Applications include, for example, automobiles, air craft, railroad engines, central station power and golf carts.

    摘要: An internal combustion engine 10 wherein only some compression is carried out in the engine 10 and including a tank 30 of compressed air, a pressure regulator 34, a fuel injector 28, and means 40 and 50 for connecting the foot pedal 38 to the pressure regulator 34 and the fuel injector 28, for controlling air and fuel feed to the combustion chambers 22 in response to throttle demand during high power demand conditions. The engine 10 compresses its own air for cruise conditions but uses stored compressed air (charged from a wayside source) for higher power demand. The engine can use spark or heat ignition, provides full expansion, can be two or four stroke and of the diesel or gasoline type. Compressed air can be generated more efficiently using central station power with a vast savings in the amount of oil consumed. Oxygen enriched (60-80% O.sub.2) compressed air can be used without high temperature problems because of the only partial compression and the high (cooling) expansion ratio and higher rpm.

    摘要: A corona generator method and apparatus preferably for generating ozone, employing a plurality of corona generating cells each comprising a pair of parallel speced-apart electrodes having a fired-on coating of porcelain enamel. The electrodes are connected to an AC voltage source of sufficient voltage to generate a corona discharge, and an oxygen-containing gas is passed between the electrodes to generate ozone. A high concentration ozone is produced as well as a large quantity of ozone, without water cooling, and at voltages of approximately 6,000 volts. An equation setting forth, for the first time, the interrelationships between the various parameters in a corona generator is derived by Applicant. According to the invention, the corona power is maximized by maximizing the expression .epsilon./Td, where epsilon is the dielectric constant of the porcelain enamel coating and Td is the dielectric thickness.
