Abstract: The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to an indexed hydraulic roller lifter for use in internal combustion engines.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hydrogen-powered genset that can be operated without any gaseous exhaust and does not require any external air or water. In particular, the closed loop utilizes a system that is fueled with hydrogen and supplied with oxygen from an electrolyzer. The system re-circulates the exhaust gas to the air intake while extracting the water from it for use in the electrolyzer.

Abstract: The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to an intake manifold for use in internal combustion engines which pairs cylinders together so as to allow the sharing of air and fuel to improve efficiency and power.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of operating an internal combustion engine simultaneously with ammonia and another fuel. The other fuel may be hydrogen, ethanol, propane, natural gas, liquefied petroleum gas, or the like. In a preferred embodiment, the other fuel is hydrogen and the engine has zero carbon emissions. A control system is programmable to adjust the proportion of ammonia and the other, catalyst fuel as selected by the operator.

Abstract: A modified armature winding for a stator of an electrical generator having a pigtail shape to promote cooling of the stator. At least one turn of the windings is extended outside the circumferential periphery of the stator, preferably forming a loop. An electrical short is created near the circumferential periphery of the stator between the winding segments to prevent current from flowing through the pigtail winding segment.

Abstract: An engine block with a plurality of relatively large piston bores is provided. The engine block is adapted for use of relatively large bore pistons, and preferably duel connecting rod pistons. Configured in this manner the engine block has a relatively large displacement and is especially suited for use with low btu fuels, and more particularly hydrogen.

Abstract: A segmented crankshaft design with interchangeable parts is shown. The new crankshaft design allows for rapid customization. The system comprises specifically designed segments that are indexed to fit together to form a complete crankshaft.

Abstract: The engine block for an internal combustion engine is fabricated from laminated pieces of material instead of cast iron or cast aluminum. This provides extreme flexibility of the design of individual engines. Each lamination piece can be designed to complex three dimensional structures and/or passages. The lamination material itself can be changed to improve strength, thermal conductivity, reduce cost, or any other parameter of interest to those skilled in the art.

Abstract: A piston and connecting rod is provided. The piston comprises a piston and a plurality of connecting rods. A very large displacement engine is built using one piston with the plurality of connecting rods, wherein the one piston has the combined diameter of two pistons in a smaller bore engine. The connecting rods are spaced to operatively connect with a standard crankshaft style, where each connecting rod of the two smaller, standard pistons would connect to the crankshaft.

Abstract: A distributed generator system is provided having an alignment hub to assist in the alignment and securement of an engine and a generator of the system. The system comprises a distributed generator system having an engine and a single bearing generator, and an alignment hub for defining an alignment position between the engine and the generator and maintaining the alignment within a predetermined tolerance.

Abstract: A renewable electrical power generation system is provided having energy storage and a power generation system to convert the stored energy to electrical power to ensure the end user with a continuous source of electrical power. The system comprises a renewable energy to electrical power unit plus a system to convert electricity to fuel (hydrogen and/or ammonia) with the required associated fuel storage and a fuel to electricity unit (engine and generator and/or fuel cell). This system has a monitor and control system that ensures proper operation such that the end user receives electrical power in the most efficient way.
