20090016944 | Hydrogen generator, Carbon dioxide and sulfate captor - This invention provides a means to produce on site Hydrogen to power fuel cells or Hydrogen engines storing the energy in Calcium metal. It continues by using the Calcium hydroxide byproduct of Calcium generated Hydrogen reaction to capture Carbon dioxide from exhaust situations, both moving and stationary as trucks and power plants. This reaction goes to completion with the sedimentation of Calcium carbonate, which may be useful to the cement industry as a component of their products, or it could be used to capture sulfates in stack gas. Either Calcium carbonate or Calcium sulfate may be electrolyzed to recover metallic Calcium, which is not readily available on the market at this time. Solar power, water wheels, resistive gym apparatus, wind power generation of electrical energy as well as unused power from power plants can electrolyze water into Hydrogen and Oxygen. The Hydrogen is passed through and over Calcium carbonate freeing the Calcium as pure metal and releasing as gases water and Carbon dioxide, which, if fed into a greenhouse, will make plants grow rapidly and during daylight, release heavily Oxygenated air from the greenhouse environment. Oxygen can be sold to health, scuba and industrial businesses. These reactions are commercially feasible making Hydrogen propulsion as with a Hydrogen piston engine and fuel cell driving for generating power safer because large amounts of Hydrogen do not have to be carried or on hand during use or down times. Replaceable vessels for both Hydrogen generation and Carbon dioxide capture systems provide viable options for both transportation and stationary Hydrogen consumption applications. | 01-15-2009 |
20090079255 | Harvesting hydrocarbons from coal, shale, peat and landfill seams - A method of extraction of fuels and elements from coal, shale, peat and landfill seams is described which cuts the earth with only a main shaft which could measure half a meter diameter and with auxiliary narrow drillings of, say 10 centimeter diameter, widely spaced from the shaft. The coal, shale or peat seam is heated to the highest temperature of the hydrocarbon fraction desired to be extracted and the evaporated hydrocarbons are carried out of the shaft by Nitrogen gas. To enhance the extraction rate of the evaporated hydrocarbons, tonal input from two or more organ pipes vibrates the seam structure freeing the evaporated hydrocarbons allowing their escape into the shaft. As the extraction continues requiring inclusion of a greater area of the seam structure, narrow drillings are made and Liquid Nitrogen is inserted in the drillings reaching seam levels as Nitrogen gas which seeps into the seam. A gas-impenetrable sleeve prevents the Nitrogen gas from seeping into the soil or substrate between the ground level and the seams. Further expansion of the field moves the Nitrogen sourcing to the outer circle and inserts auxiliary heaters in the narrow drillings between the outer ring and main shaft bringing more of the seam to the desired extraction temperature. Extracted evaporated hydrocarbons are cold cracked allowing the fractionation of hydrocarbons into fuel types as heating oil, kerosene, gasoline, ethers, and fuel gas, methane, argon and rare gas segments. The thermal gradient of the extraction pipe is implemented by sourcing the Nitrogen from Liquid Nitrogen and running the pipes bundled with the extraction pipe condensing its contents by hydrocarbon fractions in vessels and gas drums depending on boiling points of fractions. Water is separated from the gasoline segment and purified by separation and freezing. | 03-26-2009 |
20100006281 | Harvesting hydrocarbons and water from methane hydrate deposits and shale seams - A method of extraction of fuels, organic pollutants, and elements from Methane hydrate deposits, shale seams and the soil is described which freezes the zone and heats the center carrying the fuel, chemicals and water in these deposits and seams from where they are found, be it deep in the sea or on land, and carries them into the condensing unit in inert Nitrogen gas. Required drilling on the surface or sea bottom includes a main shaft and with auxiliary narrow drillings widely spaced from the shaft. The extraction zone, which is first cooled to brittle cold using the evaporation of Liquid Nitrogen and fractured with vibrations, is heated to the highest temperature of the hydrocarbon fraction desired to be extracted. The evaporating hydrocarbons are extracted in a Nitrogen gas carrier, a recognized fire suppressant (NFPA Code 2000). To speed the extraction rate, tonal input from two or more sounding units vibrates the seam structure freeing the evaporated hydrocarbons allowing more rapid escape into the shaft. To prevent air loss in aquifers, ice barriers seal the zone periphery. These hydrocarbons are separated into the hydrocarbons fractions, into fuel fractions as heating oil, kerosene, gasoline, ethers, and fuel gas including methane, Argon/Oxygen and rare gas segments, or, if pollutants, into the separate chemicals by boiling point. The thermal gradient of the extraction pipe is implemented by sourcing the Nitrogen from Liquid Nitrogen and bundling those pipes with the extraction pipe condensing its contents by hydrocarbon fractions into vessels and gas drums depending on boiling points of fractions. Water is separated from the gasoline segment and purified first by separation and then by freezing. The extraction of deep deposits layer the extraction zones as well as work neighboring extraction zones covering many acres. Fuel gases can be liquefied or burned in an on-site electric generating plant. | 01-14-2010 |
20100146993 | Liquid nitrogen enabler - A method and apparatus for using liquid nitrogen to render crises safe, as in circumstances of hostage crises, entering Methamphetamine labs, purging the accumulating toxic or flammable gases, ending the dispersal of substances from aerosols and capturing the material dispersed by condensing it and sealing it in containers for disposal, picking up spills by solidifying them or gelling the material and containing it for disposal—this includes Mercury spills, sealing and repairing broken pipes and dikes and dams, enabling a combustion engine to quit running, strengthening levee structures by freezing the core for the length of the levee or sandbag structure when severe crises occur, rapid cooling lava flows to structure the solid lava formation to something useful in that location, purging the coalmine fire environment of Oxygen to quell the long-term blaze while cooling subterranean structure to below freezing causing water crystals to loosen structure, treating industrial stack gas to capture acidics and use soot, water and Carbon dioxide components, air drop Liquid Nitrogen, freeze ordnance buried underground freeing it from target structure, and countering aircraft collision situations in tall buildings. These methods can apply in wider circumstances and are enabled by either aperture dispersal of Liquid Nitrogen or pre-pipe evaporation for rapid cooling as the Nitrogen gas emerges and is released safely into the atmosphere. | 06-17-2010 |
20100236284 | Preserving liquids in cryogenic processes - A trap system for cryogenic environments, which brings a gas to a body of the same material in liquid form, allows the liquefied material in the gas bearing tube to pass through a submerged trap combining the newly condensed liquid with that in the reserve. With this apparatus, for example, pure cold Nitrogen gas can be condensed and recycled in a system requiring cryogenic liquid Nitrogen to start the process. This trap system can also be applied to other gaseous materials stored cooled beyond the condensing temperatures. The trap system brings the newly condensed material into the vessel of already condensed material. The gas that has not condensed into liquid, in the case of Liquid Nitrogen, will release into the atmosphere. It is expected that all the gas of the other material will liquefy and be part of the stored liquid because it is stored below its liquefaction temperature—here using Liquid Nitrogen chambers surrounding the vessel of the liquefied material. Also included are means to maintain a clean reservoir of cryogenic liquids providing means to remove debris on the surface, floating within the liquid and at the bottom of the reservoir. And yet more, keeping the liquid form of material is protected from the gas state material to prevent more rapid evaporation. | 09-23-2010 |
