Abstract

To apply the properties of water, once vaporized, combust at a temperature above 1,500 degrees Fahrenheit, the exhaust heat from a combustion chamber and from the super-heated steam heading for cooling at a conventional power plant is to be utilized to vaporize water for combustion in the combustion chamber heated above the required temperature in order to super-heat the steam for power generation thereby reduce conventional fuel consumption commensurate with the amount of heat generated by the water-converted fuel and to utilize water to be vaporized for condensation of the left-over from the combusted fossil fuel mixed with CaCO3 so as to neutralize acidity in the waste, to prevent pollutants from air-borning and to convert the residue-air to usable gas. The exhaust heat at a nuclear power plant can likewise be tapped for additional power generation.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . Utilization of exhaust heat sent out (a) to the chimney and (b) to the cooling tower of a power plant using conventional fuel for conversion of water to fuel in a high temperature combustion chamber either as the principal fuel or to augment conventional fuel such as coal.  
     
     
         2 . Utilization of exhaut heat for conversion of water to fuel in a high temperature combustion chamber which is maintained at the optimum temperature to combust the converted-water-fuel, which is estimated around 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.  
     
     
         3 . As a part of utilizing the exhaust heat for conversion of water to fuel in a high temperature combustion chamber, use of water to condense for neutralization of pollutants from the exhaust of a combustion chamber utilizing conventional fuel, specifically coal.  
     
     
         4 . Utilization of exhaust heat from a nuclear power plant for conversion of water to fuel in a high temperature combustion chamber of an additional power plant.  
     
     
         5 . Utilization of exhaust heat for conversion of water to fuel in a high temperature combustion chamber to produce gas either to generate additional power by combusting the gas in combination with converted-water-fuel or as the principal fuel in the additional combustion chamber of a power plant or for public utilities.  
     
     
         6 . Utilization of exhaust heat for conversion of water to fuel in a high temperature combustion chamber to produce gas and to neutralize the acid in the exhaust from the combustion chamber by combusting CaCO3 with conventional fuel.
