International Classification:

F24J 1/00

US Classification:

12626301, 126 91 A, 431 7, 431268, 431170, 431 11, 431258, 422159, 422168, 48197 R

Abstract:

The present invention is a method of delivering vaporized alcohol fuel through a thermally conductive porous nozzle to a catalytic burner with a plasma cavity and a surrounding porous catalytic cavity with fuel vapor and air supplied separately and inter diffusing into each other from different routes to the catalyst to achieve an efficient, steady, and complete combustion of the hydrogen bearing fuels. This heating system with passive auto thermostatic behavior, coupled to thermopiles, heat pipes and fluid heating systems may provide useful heat and electricity to applications of floors, roadways, runways, electronics, refrigerators, machinery, automobiles, structures, and fuel cells.

Abstract:

A device atomizes or vaporizes a liquid for inhalation. A housing has a proximal exit orifice that communicates with an intake orifice. A housing encompasses a reservoir containing a liquid. A wick has a first end in contact with the liquid and a second end that is exposed at an opening in the reservoir. A heater is disposed within housing in an air passage that communicates between the intake orifice and the proximal exit orifice. An actuator responds to a user of the device by placing the heater and the second end of the wick into proximity with the heater to vaporize the liquid.
