ABSTRACT:
A liquid fuel power plant (100) including an open-ended combustion chamber (102) and a first mechanism (114) for delivering a combustible fuel to the open-ended combustion chamber (102). A second mechanism (124) is included for igniting the fuel in the open-ended combustion chamber (102) and a concentric cylinder-shaped mechanism (130) is provided for extending the length of the combustion chamber (102) for decomposing the fuel to provide an exhaust gas comprised of fundamental elements. Finally, a third mechanism (202) is provided for using the exhaust gas to perform useful work. The air inlet line (122) delivers compressed air which is preheated in an air inlet passageway (194) and thereafter mixed with the combustible fuel in the open-ended combustion chamber (102). The residue of the combusted air-fuel mixture is thereafter forced by the compressed air into the concentric cylinder-shaped extension (130) which forms the reaction region (180) of the combustion chamber (102). The reaction region (180) becomes sufficiently hot to ensure complete decomposition of the hydrocarbon fuel. The hot pressurized exhaust gas, which is very low polluting, is directed by an exhaust tube (178) to a load (202) such as a turbine.
