Latest Patents
One of Martin's latest patents is a process for the production of lignin fuel, ethyl alcohol, and cellulose. This invention involves a series of treatments, both physical and chemical, to plant biomass, resulting in the production of ethanol, lignin, and a high-protein animal feed supplement. In plants with a high silica content, a fourth product, silica/caustic oxide (silicates solution, waterglass), is obtained. The process utilizes both 5-Carbon and 6-Carbon sugars, which are fermented to ethanol using a closed-loop fermentation system that employs genetically engineered thermophilic bacteria developed by Agrol, Ltd. The lignin and absolute ethanol are then mixed to produce a high-energy fuel. Another significant invention by Martin is a firearm bolt lock mechanism. This invention features a releasable bolt lock for two-position safety firearms, which can be actuated separately from the safety lever. It allows for the unloading of the rifle while the safety is in the 'safe' or 'on' position.
