Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A method of producing mechanical energy utilizing H 2 0-plasma generated in multiple steps, which comprises: a first step of generating H 2 0 gas using a gasifier, and transforming the H 2 0 gas to a plasma using an electrical discharge, said plasma having a state of energy; a second step of intensifying the state of energy of the plasma of the first step, to a level such that the plasma with the intensified state of energy is ready to generate a plasma jet, by using high voltage to produce a more intensified electrical discharge than that in the first step and by high-frequency induction heating; and a third step of generating an ultra-high temperature plasma jet by exposing the plasma of the second step to periodic modulation of the high voltage for the second electrical discharge, and causing a high-pressure thermal explosion reaction by compression of the ultra-high temperature plasma jet in synchronization with the modulation, and converting the energy resulting from the plasma reaction at the ultra-high temperature in the plasma jet into mechanical energy.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
178 words
