Sweating-boosted air cooled heat-pipe condensers employing a nanowick micro fin structure to form a sweating boosted heat dissipation system, wherein the nanowicks may be layered.

On-demand sweating-boosted air cooled heat-pipe condensers

An on the fly fuel reformer device to produce variations in the autoignition and burning rate properties of a fuel by appropriate processing of some or all of a single fuel supply in its liquid form. The system includes a non-thermal plasma generator and/or a UV radiation source in contact with a fuel line so as to contact a multi-phase fuel in the line and dynamically modify the fuel to exhibit desired autoignition characteristics and burn rate such that the engine can operate with increased efficiency and lower emissions.

The current disclosure relates to a suppressor circuit configuration for extending the stable region of operation of a DC driven micro plasma discharge at atmospheric and higher pressures. The current disclosure also provides various systems for suppressing a self-pulsing regime of a direct current driven micro plasma discharge comprising, at least, a power supply, a ballast resistor, a plasma discharge, and an inductor.
