Abstract:
1. A steam generator for generating steam from water drops provided by a water proportioning device, said steam generator comprising; a housing containing a system of stainless steel plates; said system of stainless steel plates comprising two or more said stainless steel plates, said plates forming continuous perimeter shapes of different sizes placed one inside the another so as to form one or more open top water-holding cavities, wherein each said cavity inner and outer walls are electrically insulated from one another and formed by one or another stainless steel plate; the plates being separated by an insulating material that prevents a contact between the plates, said system of stainless steel plates being configured for receiving 120 volts or 240 volts energy by means of two electric poles connected to an energy source, each said electric pole being connected to an alternating corresponding stainless steel plate via a cable; each said plate located so that when water drops falling from the water proportioning device accumulate within said cavity so as to close the electrical circuit of alternating powered stainless steel plates, steam is generated and goes out from the steam generator housing through at least one steam outlet; a water proportioning device placed inside said steam generator housing; and one or more drains openings through said housing.
