ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a method of transport of vaporized matter by laser beam, and the equipment to practice the method. The vaporized material is introduced into the laser beam at the point of generation of the beam, and conveyor junctions are provided, such as prisms, having passageways therethrough, the prisms deflecting the beam and the passageways therethrough being the center of the beam for passage of vapors with the beam. The walls of the beam will retain the vapor and, as the vapor particles and molecules are deflected from the hotter areas of the laser beam wall, which are maintained hot through the entire length at a temperature appropriate to maintain a vaporous state, toward areas of less heat and less resistance, the vapor will move toward the open end, or destination; upon reaching its destination, the vapors will pass through the mirror customarily employed to reflect the beam, which will be provided with a passageway therethrough to permit the flow of vaporized matter therethrough into a condenser which will transform the vapor into liquid. The same mechanism may be employed to separate particulate matter entrapped in the vapor which will be precipitated out through the wall of the beam at distances relative to the particle mass, when the beam is more or less parallel with the earth surface. Spaced collection chambers may be utilized to collect and maintain separation of such particulate matter.
