I thought it was pretty obvious that when he said 'non-combustible gases' he meant Nitrogen (Air). It wouldn't be reasonable or cost effective to use any other gas because you would have to buy tanks of it.
A lot of the simple points that Stan made clearly seem to be misunderstood or ignored by most of the people studying his work so I guess this is no exception.
These patents are initial approach of Meyer to understand a new way for obtain more thermal energy.
The explaination of combustion is wrong because the engine is in fact an mechanical atomic reactor..
When reaction is started you obtain as result an change of state of molecules that you sent inside thanks to the compression.
You start the combustion mixing the fuel (CxxHxx molecule) with air (oxygen/nitrogen) obtaining COx and NOx as exaust gas.
The main problem is that the energy produced from compression does not have enough power for dissociated the nitrogen molecules, as result you have inert gas into the exaust gas.
You need to understand that combustions reactions have different levels:
1) humans for live need just air in molecular state
2) engine suck air and split just oxygen molecules into atoms
3) air as fuel tech split all air into atoms
We are born in petrol era and we know that your car for run need gasoline or diesel.
At today an endothermic engine use the oxygen, present in air, just as the oxydant of fuel, this explaination is correct in part because the process of combustion isn't understand completely..
Returning to Stan Meyer.. probably during some tests has found that air have enough power and the initial researchs using exaust gas (nitrogen and water vapour) with watergas are changed ionizing the air and mixing with watergas.
But Stan Meyer don't has clear the reaction because sometimes works and sometimes not.
From that reason Stan have the idea to wfc injector, an all in one device. Good intuition but with more electrical and mechanical problems.
After we know all that Stan is died and this technology is was lost..
In this year 2013 an italian team has found the right way for transform air into fuel because this is the year of energy revolution for the benefit for all peoples.
