  • Publication number: 20150035279
    Abstract: The Wave Energy Conversion System is a fresh or salt water wave induced land based system to convert wave action into circular power for compressed air, water pump, hydraulic oil pump and/or by attaching same to one or more high voltage generators. The system is capable of extracting tremendous power from minimal water movement, transferring same into a rotation system, with multiple high speed storage controlled regulatory loading systems utilizing the intense power. Having a greater reliability and longer range of stored and smooth power time, it does not rely on direct sun or wind but the longer lasting term effects of same on water. The system has the flexibility to be protected from periodic damaging waves, quick disconnects in the eventuality of hurricanes, ease of maintenance/repairs, for when assembled in a series or battery of cylinder systems, will be capable of producing rotation power rivaling any solar power system to date.

  • Patent number: 6280119
    Abstract: The invention contemplates a working implement, for use with an excavating type machine, which semi-automatically brings a pipe section to a specified grade, slope, and line for emplacement in a line of pipe sections to be laid on the specified grade slope and line. The implement is rigidly mounted to the excavation machine whereby the position of the implement can be maintained within narrow tolerances while the pipe section is linearly inserted into a previously laid pipe section, and can be retained at the specified grade, slope, and line while fill material is emplaced and consolidated about and under the pipe, with sufficient density that the pipe can be released without the pipe moving outside normal tolerances of the specified grade, slope and line.
