introduced through the various branch pipes
12, 13, 14, and these various points of intro-
duction of the steam are designed to be at
points of highest temperature. A chemical
5 reaction takes place causing the disassocia-
tion of the elements of the steam or moisture
into hydrogen and oxygen with a subse-
quent recomposition of these gases wholly
or in part with a gas-forming combustible
1 o material burning in the gas generating
chamber 3. Free hydrogen, methane or
marsh gas, carbon monoxid, and possibly.
carbon dioxid,. will be some or all of the
resulting gases.
15 In order to reduce any carbon dioxid that
may be formed within the gas generating
chamber 3, a supplemental introduction of
gas-forming combustible material is made
through the inlet pipe 15 by using the blow-
20 ing means 17 in combination- with the gas
controlled hopper 16 having therein carbo-
naceous material. This carbonaceous mate-
rial being introduced at a point of high
temperature within the gas generating
25 chamber 3, unites with the carbon dioxid
gas, if any there be, reducing same to carbon
monoxid. The air introduced through the
blowing means 17 combines with other car-
bonaceous material introduced thereby, the.
30 adjustment being such that the carbonaceous
material- is in excess.
The gas-forming combustible material in-.troduced either through f he main inlet pipe
7 or' the supplemental 'nlet pipe 15, may
consist of liquid hydrocarbon and air in- 35
stead of carbonaceous material and air.
The ash formed by the combustion, and any
excess of solid material introduced into the
producer, pass down through the .passage 4
into the water seal 6 from whence they may 40
be externally removed without stopping the
main operation of the producer and without
opening up communication from within the
same to atmosphere
It is claimed and desired to secure by 45
Letters Patent,-
In the art of producing gas, introducing
into the free space of a chamber an up-
wardly directed blast of gas forming com-
bustible material, igniting said blast, intro- 50
ducing into the same free space of said
chamber a second upwardly directed blast
of gas forming combustible material,
changing the direction of the flow of said
combined blast, introducing moisture into 55
said blast.at the place of change and taking
off from the changed flow the gas produced.
In testimony whereof, I affix niy signature
