1. An onboard internally recirculating chemical looping combustion system (IRCLCS) system comprising:
a metal oxide reforming loop constructed to circulate and re-circulate metal oxide catalysts by pneumatic transfer and gravity;
a fuel reformer (15) with a fuel inlet and an oxygen inlet, wherein fuel and oxygen burns in the fuel reformer (15) over a metal oxide catalyst bed;
a first KAT seal (6) connecting the fuel reformer (15) to an oxidizer reformer (4) constructed to re-oxidize the metal oxide catalyst;
an oxidizer reformer blower (32) attached to the oxidizer reformer (4) constructed to lift the metal oxide catalyst upward through the oxidizer reformer (4), wherein said metal oxide catalyst is re-oxidized;
a drop-out cyclone vessel (7) connecting the oxidizer reformer (4) to the fuel reformer (15) via:
a second KAT seal (33) located between the cyclone drop-out vessel (7) and the fuel reformer (15) cooperating with the drop-out cyclone vessel (7) and the fuel reformer (15) to control entry of re-oxidized metal oxide catalyst into the fuel reformer (15) completing the metal oxide reforming loop.
