Patent ID: 7452513

Claim:
A triple helical flow vortex reactor with a reaction chamber having a fuel inlet end, a gas outlet end at opposing axial ends of the reaction chamber, and an inner wall, comprising, (a) a means for creating a fluid flow first vortex of combusted gases such that said combusted gases spiral away from said fuel inlet end towards said gas outlet end; (b) a first circumferential flow apparatus fluidly connected to the reaction chamber at the gas outlet end for creating a circumferential fluid flow second vortex at the periphery of the reaction chamber such that said second vortex spirals away from said apparatus towards the fuel inlet end in a direction reverse to the fluid flow first vortex; and, (c) a second circumferential flow apparatus at the fuel inlet end having a fluid connection for creating a circumferential fluid flow third vortex at the periphery of the reaction chamber such that said vortex spirals in a forward direction with the outward flow of combusted gases and creates a mixing region adjacent to the fuel inlet end.
