Consulting – Answers to Questions
Nov 16th
The purpose of a consultant is to assist in an endeavor. The consultant provides answers, and if not a means to the answers. One person cannot know all the solutions, and therefore a third party consultant can be the crux in making progess or completing a project. I provide consulting services based on my education as an Electrical Engineer, and my personal endeavors and associations. I have worked with George Wiseman assembling common ducted electrolyzer, and have done several informal reasearch projects. One informal research project was done for Vulcan Capital Management, for their subsiduary Vulcan Amps. Vulcan has several coal fired which is a perfect application for Brown’s Gas. The gas produced by a common ducted electrolyzer can completely replace the natural gas or propane used to ignite the coal. Doing so can substantially reduce the natural resource requirements of the facility, while also achieving the benifits of using a hydrogen fuel rather than a carbon fuel.
One of the demonstrations I did for the facility’s staff was to burn coal with the 1200 Series electrolyzer designed by George Wiseman. The coal was consumed with a realitively while looking smoke being produced. I assume that this was a relatively efficient burn, at a relatively high tempature. The most notable observation was the heat produced, the white ash, the red coals, and the rate at which the coal was being consumed.
If I had access to a professional, laboratory grate gas chromatograph I would like to compare the smoke emissions of coal being burned by Brown’s Gas, versus coal being burned by propane or natural gas, versus coal burning via self ignition. No doubt the data would be different for each, what would the difference be? Whom has the money to pay for the tests? I can provide assistance, directions, and general consoluting on how the tests can be conducted. I would like to participate in such testing, and I would like to participate in the publication of the results in an applicable journal.
I would like to consult for various situations. I would like to do alot of research, but I would also like to consult for business.
Internal and External Combustion Enhancement
Aug 16th
I still contemplate the potential integration of three main components in a Power Facility. First it depends on the facility, of which internal versus external combustion requires different consideration:Internal Combustion – Electronic Fuel InjectectionTo install a Hydrogen Based Fuel Enhancement System, all thats required is custom tuning of the fuel maps, maintenance consideration of above level hydrogen and oxygen concentrations within engine components, the installation of an electrolytic cell, and all associated wiring and static restraints.External CombustionExternal combustion systems, such as boilers, can achieve the same results with use of high PSI air compressors. Essentially what is required is the substantial increase in oxygen content available to the carbon fuel combustion process. That would establish a lean condition where the extra oxygen would facilitate the extremely rapid oxidation of the carbon fuel, successfully releasing energy more efficiently. To accommodate the increase in combustion temperature water and Brown’s Gas are added. The water turns to steam as it absorbs excess heat energy, the Brown’s Gas combusts into water contributing additional energy to the process, and the resulting water, from the Brown’s Gas combustion, absorbs more excess heat energy as it turn from liquid to steam.What Brown’s Gas Does as a Fuel Enhancer?Brown’s Gas facilitates the complete combustion of carbon monoxide (CO) into carbon dioxide (CO2). This combustion releases energy thus contributes positively to overall efficiency. In internal combustion engines, Brown’s Gas combusts into water, which absorbs typically wasted heat energy resulting in a conversion of liquid water in steam; the water into steam process results in an expansion force, thus conserving, and utilizing, otherwise discarded heat. It is theorized that the Brown’s Gas may catalytically reduce the activation energy of carbon fuel combustion propagation; subsequent investigation is required to solidify the concept.So I have introduce two components/ technologies: water injection, and Brown’s Gas injection. The third is fuel vaporization. In fuel injected internal combustion engines, the fuel is sprayed as an extremely fine mist. The finer the mist, the more surface area available, hence an increasing rate of vaporization. Since the vapors are the flammable portion of liquid carbon fuels, it is increasingly conservative to ensure the maximum degree of vaporization before injection into the cylinders. This can be achieved in many ways, and there is a lot of wasted heat energy available in the exhaust heat.The combination of three components, water injection, Brown’s Gas injection, and fuel vaporization results in the ability to have substantially lean air fuel mixtures. All effects are accounted for; the temperature is mitigated by both the water and the Brown’s Gas, there is a direct effect on the quantity of pollution produced, and a substantial reduction on the net quantity of carbon fuel required for normal engine operation.In the modern world every drop of energy must be extract to specifically minimize waste. Efficiency is the idea that will propel the future of the energy industry
