Title: Innovations of Louis A. Rosocha
Introduction
Louis A. Rosocha is a notable inventor based in Los Alamos, New Mexico. He has made significant contributions to the field of fuel injection technology, holding a total of five patents. His work focuses on enhancing combustion processes through innovative methods.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is the "Fuel injector utilizing non-thermal plasma activation." This invention features a non-thermal plasma-assisted combustion fuel injector that employs an inner and outer electrode to create an electric field from a high voltage power supply. A dielectric material is strategically placed between the two electrodes to prevent arcing and promote the formation of a non-thermal plasma. The fuel injector converts liquid fuel into a dispersed mist, vapor, or aerosolized fuel, which is injected into the non-thermal plasma, generating energetic electrons and other highly reactive chemical species.
Another significant patent is the "Field-enhanced electrodes for additive-injection non-thermal plasma (NTP) processor." This invention comprises a field-enhanced electrode package designed for use in a non-thermal plasma processor. The package includes a high voltage electrode and a field-enhancing electrode, with a dielectric material layer positioned between them. The field-enhancing electrode features at least one raised section that includes injection holes, allowing plasma discharge streamers to occur primarily within an injected additive gas.
