NOVELTY - Fuel burner includes heat transmitter (8) having portion located in the vicinity of burner port(s) (2) so that it is heated by the burning of a burner port fuel at the burner port. A fuel cell assembly (6) generates an electrical output when it is heated and supplied with fuel and oxidizer. The heat transmitter is located in the vicinity of the fuel cell assembly, so that when the heat transmitter is heated, the fuel cell assembly is in turn heated by the heat transmitter. A fuel inlet (3) provides the burner ports with fuel upstream of the fuel cell assembly.    USE - Fuel burner for providing both heat and electrical power to external applications including generating heating used for heating a space and generating electrical power or electricity used for powering systems, powering lights, control systems, computers, communication systems, radios, TVs, stereo systems, battery chargers, engines, or clocks; and for appliance, e.g. heat generating appliance, heater for vehicle, patio heater, or greenhouse heater. (All claimed)    ADVANTAGE - The fuel burner provides heat from the burning of the burner port fuel at the burner ports, while the fuel cell assembly can generate an electrical output. It does not recuperate heat but rather only directs heat in two directions, one to the fuel cell assembly and other to external applications requiring heat. It is simple and more economic than existing burners; readily ignited with existing electric ignition systems; uses fuels, e.g. methane, natural gas, and propane; and heats up and cools down rapidly to give convenient operation.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - Fuel burner comprises:    (A) main burner body (1) including burner port(s) (2);    (B) fuel inlet (3) for providing the burner ports with fuel;    (C) heat transmitter (8) having a portion located in the vicinity of the burner port(s) so that it is heated by the burning of the burner port fuel at the burner port when the burner port fuel is ignited;    (D) fuel cell assembly (6) for causing the generation of an electrical output when it is heated and supplied with fuel and oxidizer;    (E) fuel inlet for providing the fuel cell assembly with fuel; and    (F) oxidizer inlet for providing the fuel cell assembly with oxidizer.    A portion of the heat transmitter is located in the vicinity of the fuel cell assembly, so that when the heat transmitter is heated by the burning of the burner port fuel at the burner port when the burner port fuel is ignited, the fuel cell assembly is in turn heated by the heat transmitter. The fuel inlet for providing the burner ports with fuel provides the burner ports with fuel upstream of the fuel cell assembly. The fuel cell assembly is a solid oxide fuel cell assembly, or a micro tubular fuel cell assembly.    DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) - The drawing is a schematic view of the fuel burner.
