A burner capable of burning crude or other heavy oil. A combustion chamber is surrounded by a wall of thermal insulation. An air-fuel injector pipe extends through the wall and opens into the combustion chamber. An oil supply pipe extends along the interior of the air fuel injector pipe to an inner open end that is proximate the inner end of the air-fuel injector pipe. A venturi insert is fixed within the air-fuel injector pipe and has an orifice positioned outward of the open inner end of the oil supply pipe. A combustion air supply including a blower and a recuperator transfers heat from outgoing combusted exhaust gases to incoming combustion-supporting air being blown through the recuperator and the air fuel injector pipe into the combustion chamber.

A dynamic pressure exchanger configured for a combustion process includes an inlet plate and a rotor assembly mounted for rotation relative to the inlet plate about a central axis of the dynamic pressure exchanger. The inlet plate is formed to include an inlet port configured to direct air into the rotor assembly. The rotor assembly includes an inner rotor and an outer rotor arranged around the inner rotor.

A tool includes a barrel, a guiding wire, and an electrically conductive member. The barrel is made of electrically conductive material. The guiding wire is disposed in the barrel. The barrel and the guiding wire are directly or indirectly connected to two opposite electrodes of a power source. The electrically conductive member is connected to an outer periphery of the guiding wire and is electrically connected to the guiding wire. The electrically conductive member is disposed between the barrel and the guiding wire and is spaced from the barrel. When the power source is activated, an electric arc is generated between the electrically conductive member and the barrel.

A cooking burner includes a spreader defining a first side wall defining an outer profile having first and second extension sections opposed about a first axis. The spreader further defines first and second arced sections, each extending outwardly along a second axis perpendicular to the first axis from and between parallel straight segments of the first and second extension sections, respectively. The spreader further defines a second side wall disposed inwardly of and concentric with the first and second arced sections and a plurality of fuel outlets extending through both the first side wall and the second side wall. A circular inner cap is assembled with an upper portion of the circular inner profile, an annular outer cap is assembled with respective upper portions of the first and second arced sections, and first and second extension caps assembled with respective upper portions of the first and second extension sections.
