DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0015] FIG. 1 schematically illustrates the thermo-kinetic reactor 10 with reaction chamber 16. Placed within reaction chamber 16 are nozzle 20 and resonance chamber 18. Resonance chamber 18 has a conic-cylindrical geometry. Iron cylinder 14 is placed within a portion of the reaction chamber 16 and is heated by high frequency alternating magnetic field generated by induction coil 22. Induction coil 22 has an input port 28 and output port 30 for water cooling. Coil 24 is placed in reaction chamber 16. Coil 24 has an input port 44 and output port 46. Outlet port 46 communicates with nozzle 20 through restriction passage 40. High pressure water steam formed in coil 24 will mix with air and fuel in nozzle 20. Nozzle 20 has an air-fuel input port 32. Reaction chamber 16 has an exhaust port 26. The thermo-kinetic reactor 10 is enclosed in a thermal insulation chamber 34.

[0016] FIG. 2 schematically illustrated an embodiment of the micro-packets and ultrasound generator of the present invention with a resonance chamber 18 and nozzle 20 made of an electrically conductive material. Induction coil 22 is wrapped around resonance chamber 18 and nozzle 20. Resonance chamber 18 and nozzle 20 are heated by eddy currents generated therein by the induction coil 22. In this embodiment there is no need for the iron cylinder 14 illustrated in FIG. 1.

[0017] The operation of thermo-kinetic reactor 10 can readily be appreciated by the following description. Induction coil 22 is energized to bring iron cylinder 14 to a high temperature. Cooling water is circulated through induction coil 22. Air and fuel are input at the air and fuel inlet port 32 and directed into nozzle 20. Water is circulated in coil 24 from input port 44 to form high pressure steam. At output port 46 a restriction passage 40 causes high pressure steam to exit from coil 24 to mix with the air and fuel mixture in nozzle 20. The air, fuel, and steam mixture in nozzle 20 flows with supersonic velocity into resonance chamber 18. When the pressure in resonance chamber 18 becomes greater than the incoming pressure from nozzle 20 the air, fuel, and steam mixture flows in an opposite direction colliding with incoming air, fuel and steam mixture traveling in nozzle 20. At this very moment flow from nozzle 20 is interrupted and micro-packet 36 of an air, fuel, and steam mixture forms, and a pressure waves is generated. The air-fuel from micro-packets 36 are ignited by the hot iron cylinder 14 forming micro-explosions 38. The micro-explosions 38 generate electromagnetic, acoustic, and thermal energy. This results in a high negative pressure void or bubble being formed as the micro-explosions 38 expand. Micro-explosion 38 propels with high velocity contained particles which collide with other particles in the reaction zone and with the hot walls of the hot iron cylinder 14 and the walls of the reactor 16. As the micro-explosion 38 continues to expend and pushing on surrounding high pressure gases, the internal pressure of the expending micro-explosion 38 will continue to decrease by lowering the density of the gases caused by the increase in temperature and by the high velocity particles moving outward from the center of the micro-explosion 38. This forms a void or high negative pressure bubble. When the pressure of expending micro-explosion 38 equals the pressure of gases in the reaction chamber 16, then the bubble violently implodes and collapses to generate high pressure, high temperature plasma and a shock wave. A magnetic field is generated by the plasma currents. When the bubble collapses heated particles in the inner boundary surface of the bubble are accelerated towards the center of the collapsing bubble to fill the void where the particles collide to form plasma. At this moment matter contained in plasma been electrically conductive interact with eddy currents resulting in a further increase in temperature and pressure. Light fusible elements trapped inside the bubble are compressed under high pressure and temperature. The magnetic field generated by the plasma currents and the magnetic field generated by eddy currents may confine the plasma. At the end stage of collapsing bubble, fusible elements inside the bubble under high energy collision, high pressure, and temperature will fuse to form a heavier nucleus resulting in release of kinetic energy. The excess kinetic energy is stored in the degrees of freedom of moderator light water causing its temperature to rise. At thermal equilibrium water temperature is increased almost entirely by the thermo-kinetic-nuclear process. The mixture of water steam and combustion product exit the reactor chamber 16 through port 26 at a temperature near 1,000? C.

[0018] The Tomoiu thermo-kinetic process of the present invention was demonstrated with five prototype reactors that have been independently tested and operated with a mixture of: air, water and fuel simultaneously introduced at a reactor inlet port. Reported test data shows that the water-fuel ratio by mass was up to 16.45:1 and there was a continuous output of excess energy of up to 10.029 MJ/hr. The efficiency of the prototype reactors ranged from 125.2% to 180.66%.

[0019] While the present invention has been described with respect to several different embodiments, it will be obvious that various modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of this invention.
