Patent number: 10001025Abstract: A generator uses a working fluid in a single-cycle Rankine engine for up to three purposes: generation of electricity; generation of hot water from heat exchanger; and generation of chill by the evaporation of liquefied working fluid. The working fluid, which may be carbon dioxide, goes through a single Rankine cycle for both heat engine and heat pump. Instead of using a pump to liquefy the working fluid, the working fluid experiences cryogenic liquefaction method under controlled pressure. The Hui turbine is used for electricity generation. Heat source for the combined heat pump and heat engine could come from concentrated solar power or from burning a fossil fuel.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2015Date of Patent: June 19, 2018Assignee: MONARCH POWER CORPInventor: Joseph Y. Hui

Publication number: 20160252279Abstract: An apparatus focuses solar power to provide clean energy, water, heat, and chill. Using ammonium carbonate salt for four purposes: first generating electricity using carbon dioxide as working fluid for a heat engine; second generating hot water from heat exchanges; third generating chill by evaporation of liquefied ammonia; and fourth generating purified water by forward osmosis with ammonium carbonate salt as draw solution.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2015Publication date: September 1, 2016Applicant: MONARCH POWER CORPInventor: Joseph Y.

Publication number: 20150207458Abstract: A building integrated photovoltaic and heat (BIPVAH) solar panel system whereby solar panels are layered into a laminate with a top photovoltaic composite layer, a middle heat exchanging fiber composite frame, and a bottom fiber composite layer. These three layers in turn form a composite structure for a strong and lightweight structure for the purposes of electricity and heat generation. The panels are strong and lightweight so as to provide a solution for shading structures such as awning, and a flower like solar tracking system that can close at night and under adverse climate conditions, etc.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 16, 2015Publication date: July 23, 2015Applicant: MONARCH POWER CORPInventors: Joseph Y. Hui, Ronan Reynolds

Patent number: 9035482Abstract: An apparatus of a gas turbine for the purpose of converting the pressure and temperature energy of a gas into rotational kinetic energy of a turbine; through an axial injection of such gas into the center of flat disks to perform work as the gas moves outward in one or more spirals cut out of these flat disks; such that the gas experiences a gradual release of pressure along the length of the spirals as the gas presses down on the width and length of the spiral; with the spiral being of many turns such that the radius of the spiral is a prescribed increasing function of turns of the radius; and the spiral has a long length in the order of a meter, a moderate width in the order of a centimeter, and a shallow depth being a small fraction of a millimeter.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2014Date of Patent: May 19, 2015Assignee: MONARCH POWER CORP.Inventors: Joseph Y Hui, James M. Hussey, III

Patent number: 8701800Abstract: A solar electric vehicle (SEV) with large foldable surface area that can be oriented towards the sun for peak generation of electricity. The surfaces of the SEV are mounted on a flexible chassis for elevation tracking, while the drive train provides azimuth tracking. The SEV also integrates the conversion of power from various sources, to various storage or power consumption devices.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2011Date of Patent: April 22, 2014Assignee: Monarch Power CorpInventors: Joseph Y.
