1. A method for providing a hydrogen chloride loop fuel reaction comprising:
creating hydrogen chloride fuel in a sealed furnace vessel, wherein at start up, the sealed furnace vessel is vacuumed out and hydrogen and chlorine are injected into a burner and ignited resulting in the hydrogen chloride fuel in an exhaust stream of the sealed furnace vessel;
looping the hydrogen chloride fuel leaving the sealed furnace vessel in the exhaust stream of the sealed furnace vessel including:
super heating the hydrogen chloride fuel through a super heater coil in direct line of an injection nozzle in the exhaust stream from the sealed furnace vessel;
routing the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel through the injection nozzle;
subjecting the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel to light while the superheated hydrogen chloride fuel is in the injection nozzle and in a combustion chamber, whereby the hydrogen and the chlorine from the hydrogen chloride fuel are separated; and
combusting and cooling the hydrogen and the chlorine while separated in the combustion chamber, wherein the hydrogen and the chlorine separated from the hydrogen chloride fuel provide combustion in the combustion chamber.
