Patent ID: 8614392

Claim:
A combustion power system device comprising: a housing comprising a first flow path volume and a second flow path volume wherein each of said flow path volumes comprises, (a) a pre-heating volume comprising a pre-heating heat exchange structure, (b) a combustion volume comprising combustion means comprising a finned element plated with a catalytic material, (c) a post-combustion heat exchange volume comprising a post-combustion heat exchange structure, wherein the post-combustion heat exchange structure and the pre-heating heat exchange structure are comprised of at least one shared thermally conductive elongate structure having a portion thereof disposed in the first flow path volume and a portion thereof disposed in the second flow path volume that is configured to transfer post-combustion thermal energy from one of the post-combustion heat exchange structures to one of the pre-heating heat exchange volumes, (d) at least one thermoelectric generator means and, air pressurization means configured to direct an air/fuel mixture through the first flow path volume in a first direction and to direct an air/fuel mixture through the second flow path volume in a second direction opposing the first direction.
