Abstract:
The instant invention presents combustion of hydrogen with oxygen producing environmentally friendly combustion products, wherein management of energy and of combustion is improved. The instant invention presents improved thermodynamics, thereby improving combustion power and efficiency. The instant invention utilizes steam from combustion to: 1) maintain power output of combustion, 2) provide method(s) of energy transfer, 3) provide method(s) of energy recycle, 4) provide power, and 5) cool the combustion chamber. Steam is used as a potential energy source, both from kinetic and available heat energy, as well as conversion to H 2 and O 2 .
Abstract:
The instant invention relates to improved methods, systems, processes and apparatus (means) for the combustion of hydrogen (H2) with oxygen (O2), wherein the H2 and O2 are obtained from at least one storage tank or obtained by electrolysis of water (H2O). The instant invention is based upon the chemistry of H2O incorporating H2 as the fuel and O2 as the oxidizer. The instant invention relates to combustion, wherein the thermodynamics of the Otto Cycle are improved providing improved combustion efficiency and power output, thereby producing the Haase Cycle. The instant invention relates to means of liquefaction unit for the storage of said H2 and/or of said O2 in applications which are at an altitude above the surface of the earth (space applications). Finally, the instant invention relates to applications of producing mechanical or electrical energy, as well as improved H2 and/or O2 storage in space applications.
