1333 results about "Plasma torch" patented technology

An induction plasma torch comprises a tubular torch body, a gas distributor head located at the proximal end of the torch body for supplying at least one gaseous substance into the chamber within the torch body, a higher frequency power supply connected to a first induction coil mounted coaxial to the tubular torch body, a lower frequency solid state power supply connected to a plurality of second induction coils mounted coaxial to the tubular torch body between the first induction coil and the distal end of this torch body. The first induction coil provides the inductive energy necessary to ignite the gaseous substance to form a plasma. The second induction coils provide the working energy necessary to operate the plasma torch. The second induction coils can be connected to the solid state power supply in series and / or in parallel to match the impedance of this solid state power supply.

A heat absorbing radiator and a gas turbine engine or a reciprocating piston engine are used to recapture and reconvert wasted heat energies into electric power and finally into hydrogen-deuterium fuel by having the engine's tailpipes submerged in cold compressed air inside the heat absorbing radiator pipes in reverse air flow to further drive the same engine. In order to capture fusion heat energy a hydrogen bomb is detonated in deep ocean to catch the flames by the water and the hot water energizes compressed air inside heat absorbing radiator pipes. In order to produce fusion energy an electric arc is passed thru / across liquid or gaseous deuterium by an electro-plasma torch and by a sparkplug in an internal combustion engine, or by detonating a dynamite inside liquid deuterium. Diamond is produced by placing carbon inside a hydrogen bomb which is then detonated in deepwater. Deuterium fusion flame is used first in smelting glass into large structural sizes before running an engine.

The process for the synthesis of rhenium powders comprises the injection of ammonium perrhenate powder through a carrier gas in a plasma torch of a plasma reactor operated using a mixture including hydrogen as the plasma gas, yielding metallic rhenium under the following chemical reaction:2 NH4ReO4+4 H2→2 Re+N2↑+8 H2O↑.The reactor is provided with a quench zone for cooling the metallic rhenium so as to yield rhenium nano and micro powders.

A method of operation of a plasma torch and the plasma apparatus to produce a hot gas jet stream directed towards a workpiece to be coated by first injecting a cold high pressure carrier gas containing a powder material into a cold main high pressure gas flow and then directing this combined high pressure gas flow coaxially around a plasma exiting from an operating plasma generator and converging directly into the hot plasma effluent, thereby mixing with the hot plasma effluent to form a gas stream with a net temperature based on the enthalpy of the plasma stream and the temperature and volume of the cold high pressure converging gas, establishing a net temperature of the gas stream at a temperature such that the powdered material will not melt or soften, and projecting the powder particles at high velocity onto a workpiece surface. The improvement resides in mixing a cold high pressure carrier gas with powder material entrained in it, with a cold high pressure gas flow of gas prior to mixing this combined gas flow with the plasma effluent which is utilized to heat the combined gas flow to an elevated temperature limited to not exceeding the softening point or melting point of the powder material. The resulting hot high pressure gas flow is directed through a supersonic nozzle to accelerate this heated gas flow to supersonic velocities, thereby providing sufficient velocity to the particles striking the workpiece to achieve a kinetic energy transformation into elastic deformation of the particles as they impact the onto the workpiece surface and forming a dense, tightly adhering cohesive coating. Preferably the powder material is of metals, alloys, polymers and mixtures thereof or with semiconductors or ceramics and the powder material is preferably of a particle size range exceeding 50 microns. The system also includes a rotating member for coating concave surfaces and internal bores or other such devices which can be better coated using rotation.
