Title:
METHOD AND APPARATUS USING MICROWAVE ENERGY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004062793
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
The process generates energy from organic material utilizing microwaves. The waste from food item is dried and further heated under temperature control to convert it into a renewable source of energy. Enclosed in a glass chamber (2) it is then exposed to microwave energy. Apparatus comprises a microwave oven (1), a heat exchanger (3) and energy extraction systems (5) and (6). The microwave absorption creates an ionized hot air atmosphere of high-energy Plasma. This new process for hot plasma generates heat, pressure and electromotive energy, which can be converted by a heat exchanger; a microwave ignited internal-combustion engine or a Magneto-Hydrodynamic (MHD) system, to the useful form of mechanical or electrical energy. The process incorporates a method for plasma confinement to harness its energy. Suitable feedback-control (7) makes the process self-sustaining with net gain in the output energy. Energy efficiency of the process measures the nutritional value of food item used.
