Abstract

When a patent search for any matches for the steam generator utilizing hydrogen/oxygen-no air combustion process, revealed no matches found since 1976, the search was further reduced to: steam generator hydrogen oxygen combustion process, with the same result: ‘no matches found.’The inventor, not wanting to give up, and not believing that somebody before him had not thought of something like this already, just entered ‘steam generator’ in the PTO 1976 quick search. With 6,132 matches for ‘steam generator’ coming up, the inventor thought: ‘well that's a lot but out of fairness we must check them all.’The inventor wants to point out at this time that he could find nothing remotely similar to his invention, in part it's due, he feels, to the fact that no one else ever discovered the type of heat engine cycle that bares his name, consequently they would not have had the thermodynamic principles available to them, allowing for the creation of the inventors unique steam generator. It must be remembered now that the invention of the Mk-IX steam generator was developed to facilitate the application of the ‘Requadt Heat Engine Cycle’ to allow for the utilization of hydrogen and oxygen as a fuel source, in the creation of electricity. That could be why; indeed is the reason for; no matches where found under a patent search, Entitled: “Steam Generator Utilizing a Hydrogen/Oxygen Gas-No Air Combustion Process”

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A steam generator utilizing a hydrogen/oxygen gas-no air combustion process comprising: 
 a) A steam chamber into which pressurizied saturated liquid water is introduced by a steam generator feed manifold header through a decreaser, where upon said saturated water under goes an instantaneous phase change into a vapor-liquid state.    b) The liquid-vapor state in ‘a’ above continues through connected steam chambers until it becomes a saturated steam.    c) The saturated steam continues through consequent steam chambers until the saturated steam changes into a super-heated state.    d) The super-heated steam mentioned in ‘c’ above is then compressed back into a pressurized state as mentioned in ‘a’ above, and transported into a super-heat steam collection header, and transported to a turbine/generator.    e) Heat supply for the thermodynamic process described in the above is created when hydrogen gas is combusted with oxygen gas in a no air environment, creating flue gas.    f) The resulting flue gas, as mentioned in ‘e’ above is then transported through a series of ducts and baffles, constantly transferring heat to the above mentioned steam chambers, finally ducted to a thermal dissipation field, whereby the said flue gas condenses and is reused for the make up water for the hydrogen oxygen generators.    g) The electricity for the gas generators as mentioned in ‘h’ above can be powered by electricity from various sources such as solar photovoltaic, solar thermal power, or a step down transformer for the electricity supplied by the electrical generators mentioned in ‘d’ above.    h) The steam generator utilizing a hydrogen/Oxygen-no air combustion process, can be used in a renewable energy thermal power plant configuration, or solar thermal co-generation plant configuration, or engineered to be retrofitted to existing thermal power plants.
