Abstract: PCT No. PCT/US93/10280 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 26, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 26, 1994 PCT Filed Oct. 27, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/10427 PCT Pub. Date May 11, 1994A vapor-air steam engine is described which operates at high pressure and utilizes a working fluid consisting of a mixture of compressed uncombusted air components, fuel combustion products and steam. In the new cycle described, working fluid is provided at constant pressure and temperatures. Combustion air is supplied adiabatically by one or more stages of compression. Fuel is injected at pressure as needed. At least about 40% to all of compressed air is burned. Inert liquid is injected at high pressure to produce steam and thus provide an inert high specific heat diluent vapor required for internal cooling of an internal combustion turbine or other type system. The use of extensive liquid injection inhibits the formation of pollutants, increases the efficiency and horsepower of an engine, and reduces specific fuel consumption. The new cycle may also be operated open or closed; in the latter case, the liquid may be recouped via condensation for regenerative reuse. When salt water is injected into the system potable water is recovered from the steam exiting the power turbine and sterile sea salt is recovered from the combustion chamber.

Abstract: The plasma spray method produces a material deposit on a substrate to form either a protective coating of a near net shape body, or produces a powder of a given material. The material is supplied to a plasma discharge in the form of a suspension comprising small solid particles of that material dispersed into a liquid or semi-liquid carrier substance. The suspension is brought into the plasma discharge by an atomizing probe using a pressurized gas to shear the suspension and thus atomize it into a stream of fine droplets. The plasma discharge vaporizes the carrier substance and agglomerate the small solid particles into partially or totally melted drops which are accelerated to hit the substrate and form thereon the coating or near net shape body. Alternatively, the molten drops can be solidified in-flight and collected into a vessel to produce a powder of that material.

Abstract: The material (5) is stretched between a clamp (1) and a suspended mass (6) through a gap between AC electrodes (3), and vibrated at its eigenfrequency by a 5-8 kV triangular pulse of length e.g. 260 mu s. Its real image is projected by an exposure device (2) through a beam channel (11) on to a photocell (13). The shadow of the vibrating filament excites an AC signal at exactly the same frequency. This signal passes through a digitiser and band-pass filter and undergoes e.g. a Fourier transform to yield the eigenfrequency and hence the linear density.
