Springer, T G

This patent describes a process of generating gas by raising to incandescence by blasts of air the lower portion of a body of carbonaceous fuel and by burning the resulting products. Refractory material is used to store the heat which is used in superheating steam. The process continues by decomposing the steam by passing it into and through the incandescent fuel and causing the resulting hot gases to pass up through a superincumbent body of coal in a state of distillation to combine with and carry off the rich vapors, oils, or gases being evolved.
