Apparatus and system for producing high pressure gas, such as high pressure coal gas from coal, air and water. Pulverized coal is introduced into a rising stream of steam in a central reaction column of a retort to constitute a fluidized or entrained bed. The coal reacts with the steam to form a gas consisting of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, methane and higher hydrocarbons. The retort is constructed so that product gas and air may be burned in an annular chamber surrounding the central reaction column to produce hot flue gas. The hot flue gas is used to drive a turbine which in turn, drives a compressor which introduces compressed air into the annular chamber. Steam tubes may be disposed in the annular space so that the steam introduced to the central reaction chamber may be super-heated by the hot flue gas. The high pressure in the annular chamber enables the pressure within the central reaction column to be relatively high without causing the hot wall surrounding the reaction column to rupture.

A jet aircraft is provided of the vertical or short take off and land (VSTOL) type which is a stable and controllable in all flight attitudes. The aircraft exhibits a high engine thrust/weight ratio which enables it to achieve shorter take-off, shorter landing distances and faster climbs as compared with prior art aircraft of the same general type. The aircraft includes two jet engines mounted side-by-side in its nose which assist in achieving smooth variation in cross-sectional area so that the area rule is not violated, and this enables efficient flight speeds in the sonic vicinity to be achieved. The exhaust of each engine of the aircraft is controlled by a thrust deflector and associated air foil array, the thrust deflector being deflected downwardly at an angle of substantially 75. degree. to the horizontal aircraft center line during take-off so that the aircraft may take off and land vertically in a nose-high attitude with the engine inlets at the nose of the aircraft displaced up and away from the ground so as to prevent any ingestion through the inlets of forward moving air.

Hydrogen is produced from water by the addition of heat to a series of chemical reactions which comprise the reaction of cadmium with water, and the subsequent recovery of the cadmium for re-use. The equipment used to produce the hydrogen requires only the input of water and heat to produce an output of hydrogen and oxygen gas.

The present invention comprises a system and methods for the conversion of time-recorded seismic data, or images made from them after conversion of time to depth, into data structures that can be imported into and used in a three-dimensional geographic information system. The system and methods are robust with respect to the forms in which the seismic data is input into the invention. The system is general in that it is applicable to cross-sectional data other than those derived in seismic surveys and requires very non-restrictive definitions of cross-sectional planes, their orientations and datums with respect to the volumes they intersect.
