Hydrothermal Biomass-Fueled Engines

[Frederick J Sparber]

Hi All,

I'm new on this list,so I hope it works.

Retired from Sandia Labs, Several patents and
many years of working with Thermochemical and
Hydrothermal Biomass Conversion to support
agriculture (especially fixed power units used for irrigation and power
generation, and dairy-
feedlot manure disposal.

About any form of biomass material,leaves, grass clippings,straw, corn
stover, dairy and
feedlot manures,can be mixed with water and heated to 550-705 F (1500 to
3200 psi) in a 5/16" diameter tube used as a heat exchanger in the exhaust
of an I.C. engine or gas turbine.

The water breaks the organic material down to
a combustible mix of H2,CH4,C2H4,CO,CO2 and oxgenated liquids and
particulate solids.

EFI looks like the best approach for getting
this steam-fuel mix into the combustion chambers of the engines.

Any thoughts on a EFI layout?
