  • Publication number: 20130139507
    Abstract: A system for converting thermal energy from combusting fuel and air into work under an isochoric process. A reciprocating heat engine creates a cycle delay after combustion to enable sufficient time for thermal compression to occur within the working gas and within a constant volume to maximize thermal compression. A secondary engine also includes a cycle delay to maximize thermal compression of a working gas by recovering waste heat from the exhaust of the primary heat engine and converting a percentage of that heat energy into work. System cooling is accomplished under a thermodynamic cycle with heat from a liquid medium, such as water, passing through the internal combustion engine block or heat exchanger being conserved and applied to useful auxiliaries, such as residential hot water heating, baseboard heating, radiant floor heating.

  • Patent number: 7872363
    Abstract: A system for harvesting energy from wave oscillation includes an energy harvesting vessel and, possibly, a transport vessel. The energy harvesting vessel can have multiple hulls disposed in parallel with wave channels there between for receiving incoming waves. Multiple bobber devices can be disposed in series within each wave channel to absorb energy from incoming waves. Reciprocating movement of buoyant float heads of the bobber devices can be converted to electrical energy by a hydraulic engine and a generator. The electrical energy can power an electrolyzer to separate supplied water into hydrogen and oxygen. Once harvested, the hydrogen and oxygen can be transferred between storage tanks on the energy harvesting vessel and the transport vessel for transport and usage. A horizontal movement sea anchor can resist undesired horizontal movement, and a vertical movement sea anchor can resist undesired vertical movement.
