In the preferred embodiment, the bottle comprises of an exterior body having a curved wall, which includes two built-in chambers. The secondary chamber is formed as a depression in said exterior body and forms cavity recess within the exterior body. Both primary chamber and the secondary chamber are cylindrical in shape. The cover is releasable coupled to the top portion of exterior body and enables the user(s) to pour the liquid and solid beverages into the primary chamber and the secondary chamber. The bottle further includes two lids. The first lid and the second lid are designed and placed at offset center of the primary chamber and the secondary chamber respectively.

Abstract: A lubrication system for a fluid turbine is provided. The system includes a supply subsystem for providing oil via an oil tank or a hydraulic accumulator to a gearbox of the fluid turbine for lubrication during at least one of idling or loss of electric grid. The system also includes a control subsystem for controlling the flow in the lubrication system.

Abstract: An apparatus is provided that includes a heat pipe and a heat sink that includes a foam (e.g., a metal foam, a carbon foam, and/or a graphite foam) and is configured to exchange thermal energy with the heat pipe. For example, the heat pipe can include a thermal energy receiving portion and a thermal energy rejecting portion. The heat sink can be configured to receive thermal energy from a busbar and the thermal energy receiving portion can be configured to receive thermal energy from said heat sink. Alternatively, the thermal energy receiving portion can be configured to receive thermal energy from a busbar, and the heat sink can be configured to receive thermal energy from the thermal energy rejecting portion.
