Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
19 words
A vapor generator for combustion improvement comprising, a vessel of water, means for maintaining the level of said water,
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
19 words
A vapor generator for combustion improvement comprising, a vessel of water, means for maintaining the level of said water,
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
89 words
oily chemical solution for forming a layer on said water, pump means for drawing water from the bottom of said vessel to the top of vessel under pressure, jet spray means for receiving said pumped water and spraying jets into the oily chemical solution covered water whereby bubbles of water, air and trace amounts of chemicals are released into the atmosphere of said vessel, means for conducting said vapor filled air to the intake of a burner firing a combustion chamber to aid in the combustion of fossil fuels.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
89 words
oily chemical solution for forming a layer on said water, pump means for drawing water from the bottom of said vessel to the top of vessel under pressure, jet spray means for receiving said pumped water and spraying jets into the oily chemical solution covered water whereby bubbles of water, air and trace amounts of chemicals are released into the atmosphere of said vessel, means for conducting said vapor filled air to the intake of a burner firing a combustion chamber to aid in the combustion of fossil fuels.
