Title: Energy conversion system

Abstract: A system for the transmission and conversion of the potential energy of hydrocarbon fuels to available heat, power and light. The system is particularly adapted for use with natural gas, artificial gases or any of the LPG fuels such as propane, butane, etc. According to the system of the invention, the fuel gas is mixed with air preferably in the amount providing the stoichiometric ratio to oxygen and is stored under pressure and ultimately transmitted to burner elements which are hermetically sealed except for the inlet and discharge ports, such as tubes, power sources, such as captive and free piston devices and gas turbines and light sources. The system includes special forms of equipment for mixing and pressurizing the gas and air in the correct ratio and special forms of equipment for establishing and controlling the combustion processes.
