Patents by Inventor Mark Timmerman

Mark Timmerman has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7477505
    Abstract: A capacitor bank for an electrical power generator comprises: a positive assembly having a positive electrical terminal; a negative assembly having a negative electrical terminal; at least one capacitor sandwiched between and electrically coupled to the positive and negative assemblies; and electrical interconnects coupled to each of the terminals and for coupling to a load or to another capacitor bank. The positive and negative assemblies of the capacitor bank are each stackable on the positive and negative assemblies of another capacitor bank. When two capacitor banks are stacked with their positive assemblies facing each other, the interconnects couple the capacitor banks in series, and when two capacitor banks are stacked with a positive assembly facing a negative assembly, the interconnects couple the capacitor banks in parallel.

  • Publication number: 20070087241
    Abstract: A fuel cell power pack comprises a base module, a ballast module, a fuel supply module, a generator module and an enclosure consisting in part of panels, that is shaped to fit within the battery bay of an electric vehicle. The base and ballast modules are configured to provide ballast for the electric vehicle, to hold the fuel supply module, and to form part of the power pack enclosure. The fuel supply module comprises a fuel storage cylinder and a length-minimized fuel supply assembly to provide a maximized fuel supply to the generator module. The generator module comprises a fuel cell stack and balance of plant components operable to generate electricity. An explosion dissipation structure is provided on at least one enclosure panel.
