Title: Improved Process for the Manufacture of Hydrogen from Metals or Low Metal Oxides and Water.
Inventor: BERGIUS FRIEDRICH
IPC: C01B3/10
Filed: 1911-10-23
Granted: 1913-07-31
Abstract: 19,002. Bergius, F. Oct. 23, 1911, [Convention date]. Hydrogen is generated by the action of liquid water, heated beyond its ordinary boiling-point, upon a metal, such as iron, or a low metal oxide, such as ferrous oxide. Electrolytically conducting substances, for example neutral salts, salts, acids, &c., such as common salt, iron chloride, and hydrochloric acid, may be dissolved in the water; also, in addition, there may be present in contact with the water, metal, or low metal oxide, an electro-positive metal, for example copper, nickel, or platinum. In an example, iron shavings or iron protoxide are heated in a closed iron vessel to 300‹ C., and, when the pressure has reached 150 atmospheres, a valve in the lid of the vessel is opened, and the hydrogen is allowed to escape at such a speed that the pressure does not sink. In a modification, a little common salt is dissolved in the water and a piece of copper plate is introduced into the vessel before it is closed. In this case the pressure only reaches 120 atmospheres before the hydrogen is drawn off, and a temperature of 250‹ C. is employed.

Granted: 1914-06-08
Abstract: 13,250. Moscicki, I. June 7. Gases, treating with electric discharge. - Gas is subjected to a high-tension alternating-current discharge between inner and outer circular electrodes 12, 13, Fig. 3, of which the inner ono is axially adjustable; the discharge starts at each alternation at the edge 13 and is extended in a small fraction of a period to the edge of the reaction chamber 1 by the flow of the gases and the rotation of the discharge by an electromagnet 10. Cooling-water is led to and from the outside of the furnace by pipes 7, 8, steam escaping by a pipe 9. The inner electrode may be conical, as shown, to allow variation of the ignition distance, and may be provided with a cooling - device. The electro - magnet 10 has pole-pieces 14, 15 having central cavities which modify the magnetic field near the ignition point so as to spread the discharge more readily. The pole-pieces may be dispensed with. The outer electrode may consist of a water-cooled detachable ring. In a modification shown in Fig. 5, the electrodes 12, 13 are large compared with the ignition distance, and the gas flows into the reaction chamber 1 from above.. In other modifications, either of the electrodes is provided with uniformly-distributed grooves or recesses to allow passage of more air without increasing the size of the electrodes. The inner electrode may also be arranged eccentrically. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 13,965/06.

Abstract: 17,769. Ricardo, H. R., and Hethering- ton, H. A. Aug. 2. Multiple-delivery piston pumps.-A single pump supplies the main fuel charge to the nozzle O<1> in the terminal admission port A<1> of an internalcombustion engine and a supplementary fuel charge to a pocket communicating with the combustion chamber. The supplementary charge fuel may be lighter than that for the main charge. On the out-stroke of the pump piston L, fuel is drawn through the valve Q<1> into the pipe M<1>, and also through the corresponding valve &c. of the nozzle for the pocket, until the air-ports K<1> are uncovered. On the in-stroke, after the ports K<1> are closed, fuel is forced out of the pipe M<1> through the valve P<1> and nozzle O<1> until the piston L covers the port K<3>, the air in the pump being then compressed until its pressure is sufficient to force the supplementary fuel into the pocket. According to the Provisional Specification, there may be a separate pump for each fuel.
