ABSTRACT:
A gas generator is provided in the form of a closed housing having a predetermined amount of iron filings disposed therein and including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. A steam generator is also provided for heating water into steam and the steam generator includes an outlet communicated with the inlet of the gas generator housing. The steam and gas generators are operatively associated with a furnace with the steam generator being operatively associated with the combustion gas outlet of the furnace and the gas generator housing disposed within the combustion chamber of the furnace. The gas generator housing is shielded against direct exposure to the air and fuel mixture burning in the furnace and the furnace includes not only air and primary fuel inlets for the admission of air and fuel into the combustion chamber and mixing in the latter, but the combustion chamber additionally includes a supplemental fuel inlet to which the outlet of the gas generator housing is communicated. By producing steam within the steam generator and ducting the steam from the steam generator through the gas generator in a manner to pass the heated steam through the iron filings within the gas generator in intimate contact therewith the gas generator functions as a catalytic converter to convert at least a major portion of the steam passing through the gas generator housing into its oxygen and hydrogen components. The oxygen and hydrogen gases are then ducted to the combustion chamber supplemental fuel inlet whereby the hydrogen and oxygen gases are burned in the combustion chamber as a supplemental fuel.
