Abstract
A magnetic field thermal generator has one or more heat elements comprised of rotating pipes placed so they travel across the magnetic field generated by the magnetic field chamber, with said magnetic field being generated by either permanent magnets or electromagnets. The relative motion of the heat element to the magnetic flux from the magnetic field magnets results in heat generation. When placed in series, the thermal generator may be used to dry items and/or to generate hydrogen.
Claims20
An induced magnetic field thermal generator apparatus comprising;
- a hollow cylinder with magnetic field generating components placed around its concentric longitudinal axis;
- one or more orbital pipes located inside said hollow magnetic cylinder, so that each said orbital pipe is capable of rotating along said hollow cylinder's concentric longitudinal axis, with each said orbital pipe having at least one metal portion directly exposable to the magnetic field generated by said hollow cylinder magnetic field generating components, wherein one or more of said orbital pipes is freely rotatable about its concentric axis of rotation, wherein said axis of rotation is parallel to and offset from the longitudinal axis of said magnetic cylinder, and located inside the inner surface of said hollow magnetic cylinder so that any rotation of each said orbital pipe is due solely to the effect of the magnetic field induced on said orbital pipe by said magnetic cylinder rotation;
- a skeleton holding one or more said orbital pipes;
- and
- a mechanism for rotating said magnetic cylinder around said magnetic cylinder's longitudinal axis.

A product dehydrator system comprising;
- a series of conduits connecting one or more chambers;
- one or more said chambers containing gas heating means;
- one or more said chambers containing gas moving means;
- one or more said chambers containing product drying means, wherein said product drying means are comprised of a drying tumbler assembly comprised of solid wall insulated housing having within it a rotating tumbler made from a mesh material and having porous walls, said rotating tumbler having one or more angled blades having a scoop shape that avoids right angles at any point, each blade having a curved blended base with no sharp angles at the juncture of said blade to said rotating tumbler, forming a constant radius curve shaped base on both sides of said blade base so that each said blade lifts and drops portions of the product within to create a product cascade past an airflow stream going horizontally from an entry opening located on the side of said housing to an exit opening located on the opposite side in said tumbler assembly's solid walls, both said openings being connected to portions of the series of conduits, said solid walls also having one or more venting openings at its top, for venting of portions of said airflow out of the series of conduits and into the atmosphere;
- said gas heating means are provided by the operation of a magnetic field thermal generator comprising:
- a hollow cylinder with magnetic field generating components placed around its concentric longitudinal axis;
- one or more orbital pipes located inside said hollow magnetic cylinder, so that each said orbital pipe is capable of rotating along said hollow cylinder's concentric longitudinal axis, with each said orbital pipe having at least one metal portion directly exposable to the magnetic field generated by said hollow cylinder magnetic field generating components, wherein one or more of said orbital pipes is freely rotatable about its concentric axis of rotation, wherein said axis of rotation is parallel to and offset from the longitudinal axis of said magnetic cylinder, and located inside the inner surface of said hollow magnetic cylinder so that any rotation of each said orbital pipe is due solely to the effect of the magnetic field induced on said orbital pipe by said magnetic cylinder rotation;
- a skeleton holding one or more said orbital pipes;
- and
- a mechanism for rotating said magnetic cylinder around said magnetic cylinder's longitudinal axis;
- and
- said gas moving means are comprised of a fan.
