Benefits of technology
The patent describes a system and method for using a channel to transfer liquid biofuel from a container to another. The system also includes a tubing system for circulating water. The methods and devices described in the patent can help reduce reliance on fossil fuels and nuclear power, and promote a green revolution to address environmental and health issues. The technical effects include a reduction in environmental pollution, improved health and socio-economic well-being of vulnerable populations, and a slow but steady transition towards a sustainable, low-cost, and environmentally friendly lifestyle.
Problems solved by technology
Traditional energy sources such as wood, and fossil fuels such as petroleum, coal and natural gas, are ever costly, polluting and often non-renewable.
Such energy sources contribute to climate change by distressing the natural ecological system through greenhouse gas emissions and mass de-forestation.
This escalating global climate change has devastating effects for both human health (increases in infectious, neglected and water-borne diseases such as cholera, dengue fever, kala-azar, intestinal worms and malaria) and human habitats (changing patterns resulting in increased incidences of extreme weather including floods, drought, cyclones, and erratic rainfall).

Embodiment Construction
[0025]The Green Drip Energy (“GDE”) system (FIG. 1) is a relatively simple, inexpensive system that functions by gravitationally dripping small volumes of a clean burning liquid fuel 29 from an upper container 11 into a lower container 12 which houses a heat-retaining substrate or material 13. Combustion takes place in the lower container 12, producing a continuous flame 14, and heat from the flame 14 and / or the chemical / thermal energy retained in the heat-retaining substrate or material 13 can be harvested and harnessed.
[0026]The upper is a closed container for housing a clean burning liquid fuel 29. The upper container 11 has an inlet orifice 19, located at the top or on the side of the container 11. The inlet orifice 19 has a removable cap / cover to facilitate re-filling of the liquid fuel 29 as necessary. The upper container further includes an outlet orifice 17 located at the bottom of the container 11, through which liquid fuel drips 29 drip from the container 11 by gravitation...

The present invention provides an inexpensive and environmentally friendly system and method for producing energy utilizing a gravitation drip technique. A clean burning liquid fuel is dripped from an upper container into a lower container that houses a heat-absorbing substrate. A combustion reaction is initiated between the fuel and the heat absorbing substrate to produce a continuous flame. Thermal energy from the flame and the combustion process is retained by the heat-absorbing substrate. The thermal energy from the flame and / or heat-absorbing substrate can be harvested to convert water into steam. This steam energy can be harnessed to generate mechanical energy and produce electricity.
