Have you heard of the 1950 furnace conversion to water line? two service men in Texas about 1950 , had converted used oil furnace in motor pool to run on waste oil. Now, that's nothing new, but they added SS tubing so as the fire pot coil was heated first by oil flame. The fire pot was lined with fire brick insulation. The water line turned into steam, which turned into super heated steam at 1500 degrees. At proper temperature, the oil line is shut off. The furnace nozzle continues to flame using converted hydrogen + oxygen torch. Furnace stays running. There is a shock wave produced from going from 90lbs pressure to AMBIENT - exiting nozzle. Dissociation of steam molecules to useful fuel. This normally takes about 3000-4000 degrees. They called in 2 technicians to help figure that out. The servicemen filed for US Patent . US Patent office issued paper Patent that only allowed 50% increase in furnace efficiency. ( They don't allow over unity!) I read their complete application that stated fuel shut off. If water line shut off, the furnace cools off and has to be restarted on fuel oil. There was a T fitting with valves . The lower electric motor had 2 shafts for 2 90lb. oil pumps. A much smaller unit was built and taken to Washington , in Senator's underground garage. It was demonstrated in trunk of car. Unit looked like a fire brick chimney with circular pores holes in lower disc, like a propane stove. (The Jackson Water Burner) Put that in your pipe and smoke it!
