Description
FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE

The present disclosure relates to a thermal expansion battery, like for mechanical electrical generation. More specifically, the present disclosure is directed to a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction for a thermal expansion battery, like for mechanical electrical generation. This turbine/generator combination can be used for many end uses, including, but not limited to, automotive propulsion or as a standalone electrical generation or for auxiliary equipment.


BACKGROUND

Generally speaking, in electricity generation, a generator is a device that converts motive power (mechanical energy) into electrical power for use in an external circuit. Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines, wind turbines and even hand cranks. The first electromagnetic generator, the Faraday disk, was invented in 1831 by British scientist Michael Faraday. Generators provide nearly all the power for electric power grids. The reverse conversion of electrical energy into mechanical energy is done by an electric motor, and motors and generators have many similarities. Many motors can be mechanically driven to generate electricity; frequently they make acceptable manual generators.


A power station, also referred to as a power plant or powerhouse and sometimes generating station or generating plant, is an industrial facility for the generation of electric power. Most power stations contain one or more generators, a rotating machine that converts mechanical power into three-phase electric power. The relative motion between a magnetic field and a conductor creates an electrical current. The energy source harnessed to turn the generator varies widely. Most power stations in the world burn fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas to generate electricity. Cleaner sources include nuclear power, and an increasing use of renewables such as solar, wind, wave and hydroelectric.


A steam turbine is a device that extracts thermal energy from pressurized steam and uses it to do mechanical work on a rotating output shaft. The steam turbine is a form of heat engine that derives much of its improvement in thermodynamic efficiency from the use of multiple stages in the expansion of the steam, which results in a closer approach to the ideal reversible expansion process. Because the turbine generates rotary motion, it is particularly suited to be used to drive an electrical generator. A steam turbine connected to an electric generator is called a turbo generator.


Electrical power stations use large steam turbines driving electric generators to produce most of the world's electricity. The advent of large steam turbines made central-station electricity generation practical, since reciprocating steam engines of large rating became very bulky and operated at slow speeds. Most central stations are fossil fuel power plants and nuclear power plants; some installations use geothermal steam or use concentrated solar power (CSP) to create the steam. Steam turbines can also be used directly to drive large centrifugal pumps, such as feedwater pumps at a thermal power plant.


The turbines used for electric power generation are most often directly coupled to their generators. As the generators must rotate at constant synchronous speeds according to the frequency of the electric power system, the most common speeds are 3,000 RPM for 50 Hz systems, and 3,600 RPM for 60 Hz systems. Since nuclear reactors have lower temperature limits than fossil-fired plants, with lower steam quality, the turbine generator sets may be arranged to operate at half these speeds, but with four-pole generators, to reduce erosion of turbine blades.


As is commonly known, the use of fossil fuels and nuclear energy to fuel the power plants and/or turbines is reliant upon a limited power source that is non-recyclable. As such, there is clearly a need to provide a power source that is recyclable and/or not reliant upon a limited power source.


The instant disclosure may be designed to address at least certain aspects of the problems or needs discussed above by providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction.


SUMMARY

The present disclosure may solve the aforementioned limitations of the currently available fuel and power sources by providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction. Accordingly, in one aspect, the present disclosure embraces a method for providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction. The method for providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction generally includes the steps of creating hydrogen chloride fuel in a sealed furnace vessel; and looping the hydrogen chloride fuel leaving the sealed furnace vessel. During the step of creating the hydrogen chloride fuel in the sealed vessel, at start up, the sealed furnace vessel may be vacuumed out and hydrogen and chlorine may be injected into a burner and ignited resulting in the hydrogen chloride fuel in an exhaust stream of the sealed furnace vessel. The step of looping the hydrogen chloride fuel leaving the sealed furnace vessel may be in the exhaust stream of the sealed furnace vessel. This step of looping the hydrogen chloride fuel may generally include: super heating the hydrogen chloride fuel through a super heater coil in direct line of an injection nozzle in the exhaust stream; routing the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel through the injection nozzle; subjecting the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel to light while the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel is in the injection nozzle and in a combustion chamber, whereby bonds of the hydrogen and the chlorine are momentarily separated; combusting the hydrogen and the chlorine while momentarily separated in the combustion chamber, wherein momentarily separated bonds of the hydrogen and the chlorine provide spontaneous combustion of the hydrogen and the chlorine in the combustion chamber; and cooling the hydrogen and the chlorine thereby forming new bonds between the hydrogen and the chlorine for recreating the hydrogen chloride fuel.


One feature of the disclosed method for providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction may be that the hydrogen chloride fuel is not condensed when looped.


In select embodiments of the disclosed method for providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction, the combustion chamber may include a secondary ignition source. The secondary ignition source may be configured to ensure the spontaneous combustion of the hydrogen and the chlorine while momentarily separated in the combustion chamber.


In other select embodiments of the disclosed method for providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction, the light that the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel is subjected to may include, but is not limited to, full spectrum white light, sunlight with high UV spectrum content, selected full spectrum UV bands, the like, and/or combinations thereof. Wherein the light momentarily separating the bonds of the hydrogen and the chlorine may be due to a phenomenon of chlorine in the presents of hydrogen. When the hydrogen and the chlorine are subjected to the full spectrum white light, the sunlight with high UV spectrum content, the selected full spectrum UV bands, the like, and/or the combinations thereof, this phenomenon of chlorine may happen and a release of energy from the chlorine atom may bombard all the hydrogen atoms in its proximity and causes the combination to spontaneously combust. In select embodiments, the light that the superheated hydrogen chloride is subjected to may be created by a UV laser light.


Another feature of the disclosed method for providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction may be that as the combustion takes place and the bonds of the hydrogen and the chlorine are broken, an exothermic explosion and release of energy from both the hydrogen and the chlorine may occur. Whereby the chlorine may also be the oxidant.


Another feature of the disclosed method for providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction may be that during the cooling of the hydrogen and the chlorine, atom masses of the hydrogen and the chlorine may regroup, and electromagnetic fields recover. Wherein, chlorine's relationship with hydrogen may have a second phenomenon that chlorine holds the atom masses of the hydrogen within its gravitational field and facilitates the rapid and mostly complete reorganization of a combusted hydrogen atom fusion core. As a result, the continuous use of the hydrogen chloride fuel over and over is possible where the hydrogen chlorine fuel is combusted, and the exhaust returns to the hydrogen chloride fuel.


Another feature of the disclosed method for providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction may be that a flame propagation of the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel and its energy output is equal to that of gasoline, JP5 jet fuel, fuel oil/diesel, the like, and/or combinations thereof. Whereby, the hydrogen chloride fuel is configured to be used as an economizer core for actual steam production.


Another feature of the disclosed method for providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction may be that batch production could be long term, including, but not limited to, being configured for weeks at a time of operation.


In select embodiments, the method for providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction may be designed and configured for a turbine/generator combination. As examples, and clearly not limited thereto, the turbine/generator combination can be used for automotive propulsion or as a standalone electrical generation or for auxiliary equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Referring now to FIGS. 1-6, in describing the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, specific terminology is employed for the sake of clarity. The present disclosure, however, is not intended to be limited to the specific terminology so selected, and it is to be understood that each specific element includes all technical equivalents that operate in a similar manner to accomplish similar functions. Embodiments of the claims may, however, be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed to be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. The examples set forth herein are non-limiting examples and are merely examples among other possible examples.


Referring now specifically to FIG. 1, the present disclosure may solve the aforementioned limitations of the currently available fuel and power sources by method 100 for providing hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction 10. Method 100 for providing hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction 10 may generally include the steps of: step 102 of creating hydrogen chloride fuel 12 in sealed furnace vessel 14; and step 104 of looping hydrogen chloride fuel 12 leaving sealed furnace vesse 14. During step 102 of creating hydrogen chloride fuel 12 in sealed vessel 14, at start up, sealed furnace vessel 14 may be vacuumed out and hydrogen 16 and chlorine 18 may be injected into a burner and ignited resulting in hydrogen chloride fuel 12 in an exhaust stream of sealed furnace vessel 14. Step 104 of looping hydrogen chloride fuel 12 leaving sealed furnace vessel 14 may be in the exhaust stream of sealed furnace vessel 14. Step 104 of looping hydrogen chloride fuel 12 may generally include: step 106 of super heating hydrogen chloride fuel 12 through super heater coil 24 in direct line of injection nozzle 26 in the exhaust stream; step 108 of routing the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel 12 through injection nozzle 26; step 110 of subjecting the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel 12 to light 28 while the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel 12 is in injection nozzle 26 and in combustion chamber 40, whereby bonds of the hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18 are momentarily separated; step 112 of combusting the hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18 while momentarily separated in combustion chamber 40, wherein momentarily separated bonds of the hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18 provide spontaneous combustion of the hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18 in the combustion chamber 40; and step 116 of cooling the combusted hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18 thereby forming new bonds between the hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18 for recreating the hydrogen chloride fuel 12.


Still referring to FIG. 1, one feature of method 100 for providing hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction 10 may be that hydrogen chloride fuel 12 is not condensed when looped in step 104. This is generally shown with step 118 in FIG. 1 of wherein the hydrogen chloride fuel in not condensed when looped.


In select embodiments of method 100 for providing hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction 10, combustion chamber 40 may include secondary ignition source 30. Secondary ignition source 30 may be configured to ensure the spontaneous combustion of the hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18 while momentarily separated in combustion chamber 40. Secondary ignition source 30 may be any desired ignition source, including, but not limited to any ignitors or piezoelectric igniters or arch igniters or high voltage arch igniters. As shown in FIG. 1, this secondary ignition source 30 may thus be provided for step 114 of ensuring the spontaneous combustion of the hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18 while momentarily separated in combustion chamber 40 via secondary ignition source 30.


In other select embodiments of method 100 for providing hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction 10, light 28 that superheated hydrogen chloride fuel 12 is subjected to may include, but is not limited to, full spectrum white light 32, sunlight with high UV spectrum content 34, selected full spectrum UV bands 36, the like, and/or combinations thereof. Wherein, light 28 may be configured to momentarily separating the bonds of the hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18, which may be due to a phenomenon of chlorine 18 in the presents of hydrogen 16. When the hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18 are subjected to the full spectrum white light 32, the sunlight with high UV spectrum content 34, the selected full spectrum UV bands 36, the like, and/or the combinations thereof, this phenomenon of chlorine 18 may happen and a release of energy from the chlorine atom may bombard all the hydrogen atoms in its proximity and cause the combination to spontaneously combust. In select embodiments, light 28 that the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel 12 is subjected to may be created by UV laser light 38.


Another feature of method 100 for providing hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction 10 may be that as the combustion takes place and the bonds of the hydrogen and the chlorine are broken, an exothermic explosion and release of energy from both the hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18 may occur. Whereby, the chlorine 18 may also be the oxidant.


Another feature of method 100 for providing hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction 10 may be that during step 116 of cooling of the hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18, atom masses of the hydrogen 16 and the chlorine 18 may regroup, and electromagnetic fields recover. Wherein, chlorine's relationship with hydrogen may have a second phenomenon that chlorine holds the atom masses of the hydrogen 16 within its gravitational field and facilitates the rapid and mostly complete reorganization of a combusted hydrogen atom fusion core. As a result, the continuous use of the hydrogen chloride fuel 12 over and over is possible where hydrogen chlorine fuel 12 is combusted and the exhaust returns to the hydrogen chloride fuel 12.


Another feature of method 100 for providing hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction 10 may be that a flame propagation of the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel 12 and its energy output is equal to that of gasoline, JP5 jet fuel, fuel oil/diesel, the like, and/or combinations thereof. Whereby, hydrogen chloride fuel 12 may be configured to be used as an economizer core for actual steam production.

As shown in FIG. 2, in select embodiments, and clearly not limited thereto, thermal expansion battery 200 with mechanical electrical generation may generally include, but is not limited to: primary hydrogen and chlorine start up injection 202 for injecting hydrogen 16 and chlorine 18 into sealed furnace vessel 14 for creating hydrogen chloride fuel 12; sealed furnace vessel 14 including turbine 204 in fluid communication with primary hydrogen and chlorine start up injection 202, where turbine 204 may be, but is not limited to, a continuous set RPM turbine that is configured to throttle only to maintain generator output under load; exhaust condenser cooler 206 configured for the cooling (step 116); injection nozzle 26 for injecting the hydrogen chloride fuel 12 into turbine 204; combustion chamber 40 inside of turbine 204; UV light laser 38 for step 110 of subjecting the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel 12 to light 28 while the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel 12 is in the turbine injection nozzle 26 and in the combustion chamber 40 inside of turbine 204; cooled liquid fuel reservoir 208 for storing hydrogen chloride fuel 12; fuel pump 210 configured for circulating and looping hydrogen chloride fuel 12; secondary ignition source 30 in combustion chamber 40 of turbine 204 being piezoelectric or arch igniter 212; control valve 214 configured for shutoff; fuel superheater 24 configured for superheating hydrogen chloride fuel 12 prior to be injected into combustion chamber 40 of turbine 204; exterior cooling system 218 configured to aid in cooling; generator 220 in communication with turbine 204; thermal expansion battery 200 with compound battery bank 222; the like; and/or combinations thereof.

Other configurations and auxiliary equipment could be driving off superheated high-pressure stream. This configuration may use the high-pressure plasma as the propulsion medium for turbine propulsion as it is bled off the top of the fusion vessel. Hydrogen chloride plasma may function at lower temperature than hydrogen only, 3000° f to 4000° f in the reactor and can be contained and used in this configuration. Fuel enters the lower section of the vessel into the vortexing baffle chambers with UV laser and piezoelectric igniter, and as the HCL combustion takes place, it may be subjected to a high voltage arch bringing the combustion to the plasma state. This may result in both the hydrogen and chlorine atoms to rupture their core, which could result in at least a 1/64 surface rupture of the atom, thereby, resulting in a core breach and fusion core explosion.

Applicant notes that FIGS. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6A, 6B and 6C are in block form for the purpose of illustration of the process and basic types of propulsion applications and are not for the purpose of any actual design. Different types of auxiliary machinery may be incorporated into the systems described and not all functioning parts are pictured or described. Any use or machinery or turbines is up to the purposed applications and its engineering for the purposes of the user. All applications will require the vessel and systems to be vacuumed down for a system start up for the injection of hydrogen and chlorine gas or liquid. Shut down can be handled by controlling igniter, fuel pump and injector.


In another aspect, the instant disclosure embraces method 100 for providing hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction 10 in any of the various embodiments and/or combination of embodiments shown and/or described herein.


Applicant notes that, although hydrogen fluoride could produce similar results as hydrogen chloride, it has been determined that there is low value in the use of hydrogen fluoride due to contamination issues. Although it has the same potential as hydrogen chloride the corrosion rate of the containment vessel is too rapid with hydrogen fluoride. This makes hydrogen fluoride uncontainable for long term use.


In sum, the present disclosure is directed toward method 100 of providing hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction 10 that can be used for various energy applications that utilized the hydrogen chloride fuel 12, including, but not limited to: thermal expansion battery 200 with a mechanical turbine system; gas jet turbine propulsion system 300; 600 and 1200 psi boiler propulsion electrical generation plant 400; fusion energy based steam plant based electrical generation plant 500; loop fuel low temperature fusion energy reactor; auxiliary, tandem, or standalone superheater 600; the like; and/or any various combinations thereof.


Example

In the industrial production of hydrogen chloride, it is made in a special sealed furnace. At start up the furnace vessel is vacuumed out and hydrogen and chlorine are injected into the burner and ignited resulting in the effluent hydrogen chloride. Raw hydrogen chloride above approximately 700° f is still highly explosive. If this mixture was to meet atmosphere/oxygen it will explode.


At this point in the production, the HCL is cooled in a condenser to lower the temperature to a safe level that deairiated H2O can be injected (or left at full strength) to stabilize the HCL for use in most industrial processes that use HCL.


The instant disclosure is the recognition and process for looping the hydrogen chloride fuel around at the exhaust stage leaving the furnace (not condensed), where the hydrogen chloride fuel is passed through a super heater coil in direct line of the injection nozzle in the exhaust stream and super heating the hydrogen chloride and then routing it to the injection nozzle for combustion. Prior to leaving the injection nozzle and after in the combustion chamber it is bombarded with full spectrum UV laser which will momentarily separate the hydrogen and chlorine bonds and along with a secondary ignition source will insure the spontaneous combustion of the hydrogen and chlorine.


This is due to a phenomenon of chlorine in the presents of hydrogen, they have no effect on each other in the dark, but when they are subjected to full spectrum white light or sunlight with high UV spectrum content or selected full spectrum UV bands only, the phenomenon of chlorine happens and a release of energy from the chlorine atom bombards all the hydrogen atoms in its proximity and causes the combination to spontaneously combust. A second ignition source will insure combustion.


Applicant notes that during this hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction process, chlorine is the oxidant. Generally, the three oxidative gases are oxygen chlorine and fluorine. However, typically, oxygen is used as the oxidant in all forms of combustion we use today in the use of energy. That is why the process is referred to as oxidation as chlorine and fluorine are viewed obscure to the process. As this combustion takes place and the hydrogen and chlorine bonds are broken, resulting in an exothermic explosion and release of energy from both the hydrogen and the chlorine. As the atoms begin to cool down, they form new bonds. As the atom's mass regroups and electromagnetic fields recover, chlorine's relationship with hydrogen has a second phenomenon that chlorine holds the mass of hydrogen within its gravitational field and facilitates the rapid and mostly complete reorganization of the combusted hydrogen atom fusion core. As a result, the continuous use of the hydrogen and chlorine over and over is achieved. To summarize, the hydrogen chloride fuel is used, and the exhaust returns to fuel.


The flame propagation of super-heated HCL and its energy output may be equal to that of gasoline, JP5 jet fuel or fuel oil/diesel. Hydrogen chloride furnaces for the production of industrial purpose hydrogen chloride may be built and fitted with boiler plant heat scavenging heat exchangers. Due to energy output of the process, they can be used as an economizer core for actual steam production, such as a Perry jet boiler method when the production plant is large enough that plant operation will benefit from the scavenged energy. Also, that batch production would be long term such as weeks at a time of operation.


Most applications may use pressure turbine or jet propulsion turbine using output shaft speed and horsepower to turn electrical generators or auxiliary machinery. In addition, full scale tube and tank 600 or 1200 psi boiler, may be used for the purpose of electrical generation or propulsion.


All applications may be sealed loop. They do not use atmosphere in the combustion process and therefore do not exhaust into the atmosphere. Breakdown of the metal of the containment vessel may cause vessel breach and/or fuel contamination, but the hydrogen chloride fuel can be reclaimed and recycled. A secondary containment vessel may be needed to house the combustion vessel in the case of a breach with sensors, and a nitrogen blanket could be used to help quell any ignition. The containment vessel/machine can be recycled into the normal scrap metal recycling chain.


Diabon graphite process or equivalent carbon/graphite processes can be used as a liner inside the vessel to help elevate acid breakdown of the vessel made of Licuflon steel or equivalent.
