OUR SUBSTITUTE FOR WATER
HEATING AND STEAM
GENERATION DEVICES
WORLDWIDE PATENT PENDING
JOHN DORSETT
Current Boiler Environment
US Industrial sector annually consumes 24.7
quadrillion Btu of water
‘Water heaters’ do not produce a continual supply of
hot water, they heat one batch at a time
Boilers are able to provide continuous hot
water/steam
Conventionally, boilers are powered by fossils fuels
or electricity derived by burning fossil fuels
Or: nuclear power/renewable resources
Introduction
Our Product
Operation
Science
Conventional Water Heaters
Storage Water Heater
Keeps water tank hot regardless of consumption
Tank-less Water Heater
Heat water on demand using a faster method
No standby losses
The savings of tank-less heaters are lost in installation costs,
and maintenance costs, so it lacks widespread use
Introduction
Our Product
Operation
Science
Conventional Steam Generation
Current steam generators require large amounts of
space
Steam Boilers are usually installed off-site
For safety reasons (gas leakage/explosion)
Loss of energy in transport of steam
Too noisy to have on-site
Introduction
Our Product

Science
Current Need
Reduce reliance on foreign fuel supplies
Reduce environmental impact
Cost savings
Increased efficiency
Introduction
Our Product
Operation
Science
Our Product
Can remove impurities from liquids while heating
Alternative application of product: Cleaning water
During steam generation only
Much safer because it does not utilize gas power
Can be located on-site, therefore reducing transport of steam
Flexibility in input voltage
Reduced carbon footprint
Green product, environmentally friendly
Affordable
N0 special installation

Introduction
Our Product
Operation
Science
Operation: Transfer Unit
Our Product operates on the principles of molecular
friction and nucleation
The transfer unit efficiently heats the water
Positioned in the vessel’s interior
Houses the two or more ‘activators’ (customizable)
Transfer Unit housing allows water to enter and contact the
‘activators’
Equipped is a drain valve which empties
accumulated impurities during steam generation
Introduction
Our Product
Operation
Science
Operation: Activators
Manufactured from conductive material
In contact with both a power source and the liquid
which is to be heated
Activators may only be energized when there is
enough liquid present in the vessel
Input voltage will vary depending on number of
activators installed
Sensors regulate the electricity flow to activators and
monitor other parameters of operation
Introduction

Science
Operation: Activators
One activator is always grounded, the remaining are
connected to the power source
Example of activators : voltage ratio
Activators
Voltage
2
120 AC
3
220 AC
4
440 AC
5
680 AC
Activators are only powered if they are needed
For example, if 2 suffices, only 2 of 5 will receive power

The liquid sensor detects enough water in the vessel
The control unit energizes the activators
The current flows to the activators
Energy is transferred from activators to the liquid
Activators in contact with liquid superheat it
Impurities from the liquid may be removed
Continuous hot water or steam output released
