Abstract: A thermally driven power generator having a base and a heat source placed within the base. The thermally driven power generator further having a heat collector is adapted to collect the heat from the heat source through a plurality of fins and a heat sink adapted to release heat into the environment. The thermally driven power generator further having a thermal electric power generation module is sandwiched between the heat collector and a heat sink; the thermal electric power generation module is designed to convert heat collected by the heat collector to electrical power. A tray assembly for a thermally driven power generator, the tray assembly having: a transport tray; and a magnetic element integrated with the transport tray, the magnetic element designed to attract a wick keeper of a candle such that the wick is held in place.

Abstract: Co-molded fan vanes on a propeller. The vanes provide a soft, flexible material guard along the leading edge of each vane. This obviates the use of a propeller edge guard without concern for injury.

Abstract: A humidifier comprises a container having an air inlet and an air outlet; a water reservoir in the container; an absorbent mass having extensive upper surface and lower surfaces, the absorbent mass being floatable on the surface of water in the reservoir; a plate disposed on the lower surface of the absorbent mass to limit the degree of immersion of the absorbent mass while it floats in the reservoir; and a blower for drawing air through the air inlet and directing it onto the upper surface of the absorbent mass so that the air can deposit particles thereon, and absorb moisture therefrom, prior to flowing out of the container through the air outlet. The humidifier is highly efficient, quiet in operation and not affected by varying water levels.
