| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 4013061 | Ignition system for chemical heaters A self-contained heating device useful for a variety of heating applications is disclosed. In a preferred form of the invention a hermetically-sealed cartridge containing a chemical mixture which produces heat, but substantially no gas, upon ignition is d... | 03/22/1977 |
| 4009575 | Multi-use absorption/regeneration power cycle A method, and apparatus for implementing the method, for simultaneously generating electrical power and producing refrigeration, utlizing an absorption/regeneration power cycle, and performing useful work with the heat rejected from the cycle. In the cycl... | 03/01/1977 |
| 4001152 | Flammable thermoplastic cement A hot melt adhesive formulation comprising a thermoplastic in intimate admixture with a fuel. The hot melt adhesive formulation is molded into a convenient shape such as a rod, and upon ignition with an open flame, the fuel of the adhesive formulation und... | 01/04/1977 |
| 3994675 | Chemical storage of radiant energy A system for the chemical storage of radiant energy in which either: A. 1,8-diaryl-1a,2,7,7a-tetrahydro-1,2,7-metheno-1H-cyclopropa[b]naphthalenes (1) are converted on heating to 1,2-diaryl-2a,8b-dihydrocyclobuta[a]naphthalenes (2) or 8,9-diaryl-benz... | 11/30/1976 |
| 3975913 | Gas generator and enhanced energy conversion systems A gas generator is disclosed which will simply and reliably effect a gas producing reaction between a gaseous and a liquid reactant. The generator can operate at elevated temperatures and has heat exchange means incorporated. The gas generator is applied ... | 08/24/1976 |
| 3973552 | Method of storing and releasing thermal energy A cyclic method of storing and recovering thermal energy utilizing a particulate bed of a decomposable heat storage material selected from the group consisting of the hydroxides of magnesium, calcium, and barium. The bed of heat storage material is confin... | 08/10/1976 |
| 3972183 | Gas dissociation thermal power system A gas dissociation solar thermal power system in which SO3 in a solar furnace is heated by a sun ray reflector. The SO3 dissociates into SO2 + O2 + absorption of heat. The SO2 + O2 gas is d... | 08/03/1976 |
| 3967676 | Transport of heat as chemical energy At a heat source, such as a nuclear reactor, phosgene is reacted to form a mixture of carbon monoxide and chlorine. This mixture of gases is cooled by heat exchange with incoming cold phosgene and is pumped through a first pipeline at ambient temperature ... | 07/06/1976 |
| 3958625 | Transport of heat as chemical energy At a heat source, such as a nuclear reactor, methane and carbon dioxide are reacted (at about 800°-900°C) to form a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. This mixture of gases is cooled by heat exchange with incoming cold CH4 and CO2 | 05/25/1976 |
