WAX AND WATER WOOD WICK BURNER

BRULEUR " WAX AND WATER WOOD WICK BURNER "

English Abstract

This invention "Wax and Water Wood Wick Burner" is a device which produces energy. This invention differs from a standard candle as it uses water and charred wood wicks fuel rods to burn. The combination of materials and the orientation allow the invention to burn small amounts wax, with hydrogen from the water, to burn more efficiently, in a controlled manner and with less pollution than a standard candle.

French Abstract

L'invention, Wax and Water Wood Wick Burner, est un dispositif qui produit de l'énergie. L'invention est différente d'une chandelle ordinaire en ce qu'elle emploie de l'eau et des tiges faites de charbon de bois à brûler. La combinaison des matériaux et l'orientation permettent à l'invention de brûler une petite quantité de cire, grâce à l'hydrogène de l'eau, pour brûler plus efficacement, d'une manière contrôlée et moins polluante qu'une chandelle ordinaire.

CLAIMS
THE EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION IN WHICH AN EXCLUSIVE PROPERTY OR PRIVILEGE
IS CLAIMED ARE
DEFINED AS FOLLOWS:
1) A Wax and Water Wood Wick Burner is an energy device; comprising of a
container in any size, shape
and type of material that can retain water; a floating wax; piece in any size,
shape and type of wax a
single to an infinite number of water saturated wooden wick fuel rods made
from any type of wood in
any size for its length and width and in any shape or form; the wood wick fuel
rods are charred on one
end and inserted through the wax piece either evenly or unevenly spaced, only
the charred end portion
protruding thru the top surface of the wax piece; the remainder of the wood
wick fuel rod or rods
protrude down thru the wax piece and into the container and water, not
touching the bottom.
2) The device recited in claim 1 wherein the said floating wax piece is
replaced with a non-floating wax
piece that would come in contact with the inside perimeter and cover the top
inside of the container
and has vent and fill holes going through the non-floating wax piece used to
create pressure and for
adding water to the container.

TITLE OF THE INVENTION
"Wax and Water Wood Wick Burner"
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention pertains to energy production in terms of producing heat and
light using Wood Water and
Wax in an open container.
BRIEF SUMMARY OF INVENTION
The general idea of this invention/device is to produce heat and light in such
a way, where,
unlike a standard candle, which burns inefficiently and with little control;
This invention provides heat
and light where the flame intensity and duration of burn can be controlled
while still burning.
Additionally the by-products of combustion are reduced, compared to a candle,
by the introduction and
combustion of small amounts of additional hydrogen from the water. Further,
the use of wood, as a
wick and the charred tip/reaction zone, help facilitate the more efficient
combustion of the wax, and
hydrogen from water at the combustion area/zone

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
0001 This device, "Wax and Water Wood Wick Burner" is comprised of 1) Wood
Wick Fuel rods; one
or more birch wood sticks, 1/16" (one sixteenth inch) or greater thickness, of
any shape. 2) Wax piece;
paraffin or other type of wax. 3) Container; any shape, size of non-flammable
material. 4) Water.
0002 When the above materials and substances are configured in a certain way,
as in this invention,
"Wax and Water wood Wick Burner", one is able to produce a device that burns
for long periods of time
with a loud crackling sound, burning small amounts of wax as well as burning
some hydrogen from the
water; which produce relatively low pollution compared to a standard candle.
0003 The configuration is as follows: The wood wick fuel rods, are cut to
length depending on the
container depth. The fuel rods are then burnt on one end creating a charred
tip, and allowed to soak for
15 to 30 minutes in water. The end which is burnt becomes the top of the fuel
rod.
0004 The wax is formed into a flat, approximately 1/2" (one half) inch thick,
circular, square, oval or
any shape. Holes are created in the wax to just accommodate the wood wick fuel
rod or rods so as to
lightly hold the rod or rods in place in the wax. The fuel rods should be
placed as close as possible to the
center of the wax piece. Where the top of the fuel rods and wax interface,
this is called the reaction
area/zone.

0005 The wax piece with the inserted wood wick fuel rods are than placed in,
and allowed to float on
the surface of the water added in the container. The container should be
filled to within 3/4" (three
quarters inch) from the top of container with water.
0006 A small amount of wax is then dripped on top of the wood wick fuel rods,
burnt side. The
charred wood wick fuel rod or rods are than lighted with a lighter till they
are set aflame.
0007 What occurs to the device when configured in way is that the wood wicks
the water up to the
combustion area/zone and in combination with the wax and the charred tips of
the wood allows the
device to burn small amounts of wax and hydrogen from the water at the charred
tips of the wooden
fuel rods. The wood and charred wood tip, water, wax and the heat from the
flame allows the wax and
charred tip to pull hydrogen from the wet wood wick fuel rod allowing the
device to burn continuously
and for long periods with a loud crackling sound, similar to wood burning in a
camp fire.
0008 Additionally a small weight may be added or removed from the wax piece to
change, increase or
decrease respectively, the burn rate. Additionally, by removing or adding
melted wax one can change
the burn rate, i.e. adding wax reduces the burn rate, removing small amounts
of melted wax increases
the burn rate.
0009 Alternatively, See Drawing; Fig. 3, the wax piece may fill the top of the
container, connecting to
the insides of the container; however two airways must be established thru the
wax to allow the
pressure on the inside of the container to be at atmospheric or greater, to
change the burn rate and for
adding water.
