Patent number: 10989178Abstract: A method of electricity production using water thermal energy includes compressing an enclosed working fluid at a first vertical position relative to a surface of a body of water to cause the fluid to move to a second vertical position relative to the surface and subsequently move to the first position in a closed loop, an external environment at the second position having a greater temperature than an external environment at the first position such that the fluid transitions between a liquid phase at the first position and a vapor phase at the second position, the compressing using power from a battery, and expanding the fluid at the second position to generate electricity to charge the battery. The first and second positions may be two depths of the body of water or a height of an atmosphere above the body of water and a depth of the body of water.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2019Date of Patent: April 27, 2021Assignee: Seatrec, Inc.Inventors: Jack A.

Patent number: 8689556Abstract: An energy producing device, for example a submersible vehicle for descending or ascending to different depths within water or ocean, is disclosed. The vehicle comprises a temperature-responsive material to which a hydraulic fluid is associated. A pressurized storage compartment stores the fluid as soon as the temperature-responsive material changes density. The storage compartment is connected with a hydraulic motor, and a valve allows fluid passage from the storage compartment to the hydraulic motor. An energy storage component, e.g. a battery, is connected with the hydraulic motor and is charged by the hydraulic motor when the hydraulic fluid passes through the hydraulic motor. Upon passage in the hydraulic motor, the fluid is stored in a further storage compartment and is then sent back to the area of the temperature-responsive material.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2011Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignee: California Institute of TechnologyInventors: Jack A. Jones, Yi Chao, Thomas I. Valdez

Publication number: 20130028729Abstract: A power generation system with a plurality of mechanical devices is described. Each mechanical device has energy-capturing blades and a hydraulic pump. A power generation arrangement remote of the mechanical devices is also disclosed. Each mechanical device can include a device output conduit configured to output a pressurized output flow and a device input conduit for receiving a low pressure flow. The power generation arrangement can comprise a plurality of hydraulic generators, such that each mechanical device can be connected to the plurality of hydraulic generators. A method for power generating is further disclosed, where a pressurized output flow can be delivered in parallel from the mechanical devices to the plurality of hydraulic generators. Some of the hydraulic generators can be switched off when the power transmitted from the blades is low.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2012Publication date: January 31, 2013Inventor: Jack A. JONES

Publication number: 20120091942Abstract: A submerged charging station having a rechargeable energy producing device is disclosed. The device comprises a submerged thermally based electric generator that comprises a temperature-responsive material that utilizes differences in depths in order to generate energy. The submerged thermally based electric generator changes depths along a tether that is attached to a buoy and an anchor. The submerged thermally based electric generator provides energy to a battery, which can be part of the charging station, or to an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) that travels to different charging stations to be recharged.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2011Publication date: April 19, 2012Inventors: Jack A.

Patent number: 8157499Abstract: The instant invention is a containerized freight system that is comprised in combination of a specialized container, a lift mechanism and a transportation unit or vehicle mounted lifting and transporting system of individual specialized cargo containers. The system allows delivery of specialized cargo container virtually anywhere for loading, unloading, storage and retrieval by the transportation unit. The lifting unit is unique in that leg members engage the bottom channel of the specialized container it will raise and lower the unit while keeping the container and its contents in a vertical plane preventing the shifting of the contents within the container. The system also includes a specially equipped trailer that has a bed that lowers to ground level to facilitate loading and unloading of containers. This trailer is capable of hauling at least one container.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2008Date of Patent: April 17, 2012Inventor: Jack Jones
