ABSTRACT:
A steam generator is located within a tank. At one end of the tank there is a flange. Mounted on the outside of the flange there is a magnetron that is cooled by a fan surrounding the magnetron. A heat tube extends from the magnetron into the tank. Within the heat tube there is a block of silicon carbide which has a passageway through it. The magnetron fires microwave energy down the passageway heating the block of silicon carbide and the heat tube. Water tubes about the inside surface of the tank spray a mist of water on the heat tube to produce steam which is removed by a steam line through ports at the opposite end of the tank from the magnetron.The steam may be used for many purposes but in a vehicle it may be injected into the cylinders of a four stroke internal combustion engine through the openings for the spark plugs. Make up water is collected from the dehumidifier. Water is recovered from the crankcase by a float system, and returned to the storage container.
