Abstract: A linear energy generator includes a field coil array that has one or more coils of wire, contained within a sealed generator housing and wrapped around a tube. A permanent magnet array is positioned within the tube and includes magnets that move relative to the field coil array to generate electricity. A magnetic lubricant is used between the tube and the permanent magnet array. The magnetic lubricant includes a solid phase component that includes ferromagnetic particles and a liquid phase component that coats the ferromagnetic particles to prevent corrosion and to improve lubricity of the solid phase component.

Abstract: Wave energy converter systems include a housing comprising a field coil array and a permanent magnet array within the housing configured to induce an electrical current in the field coil array. One or more peripheral magnet arrays are arranged around the housing and couple magnetically with the permanent magnet array. The peripheral magnet arrays cause the permanent magnet array to move within the housing in response to motion of the one or more peripheral magnet arrays and provide a magnetic shielding effect.

Abstract: An electrolysis cell includes an anode that has a low-density region formed from activated carbon and a high-density region formed from a plurality of graphite cylinders. There is a porous barrier that allows transport of water between the anode and a corrosion resistant cathode.

Abstract: A linear generator includes a permanent magnet array having at least two magnets arranged end-to-end. A set of conductive coils is arranged around the permanent magnet array. A four-phase full wave rectifier is configured to accept alternating current inputs from the set of conductive coils and to produce one or more direct current outputs. A summing circuit is configured to aggregate the one or more direct current outputs from the rectifier to produce a combined, rectified direct current output.

Abstract: A buoy includes a flotation device configured to float at surface of a body of water. A vibrational linear electric generator (VLEG) is configured to generate power from vibrational oscillations caused by waves using compressed repulsive magnetic fields focused by end magnetic field deflecting magnets. A power collection circuit, which includes a first battery, is configured to collect and store energy generated by the VLEG. One or more electronic components are powered by the vibrational linear electric generator.

Abstract: A spring suspension system includes a top spring assembly connected to a top end of a stator and a top end of a cable and a bottom spring assembly connected to a bottom end of the stator and a bottom end of the cable. The top spring assembly includes a central spring connected to the top end of the cable at a bottom end of the central spring and a set of symmetrically arranged springs, each connected to the top end of the stator and to a top end of the central spring, configured to accommodate torsional and rotational components of an input force.

Abstract: A vehicle guidance system is disclosed that is suitable for guiding a vehicle or person along a straight line navigational aspect with signaling and processing typical of hyperbolic navigational systems, for example, in certain farming operations where the farm vehicle utilized must repeatedly be caused to traverse an unmarked field in substantially straight parallel paths that are evenly spaced with respect to one another, such as in fertilizing the field. An electronic navigation system is utilized which includes a transmitter and a receiver positioned upon the navigating vehicle and a pair of repeating transmitter/receivers spaced with respect to one another a known or measured distance and along a line normal to the intended straight line path to be followed by the vehicle. The transmitter causes each repeater to be alternately energized and the resulting signal is detected at the vehicle mounted receiver and the phase difference between each transmitted and received signal is measured.

Abstract: A solid state electronic alarm circuit including means for sensing a predetermined change in a parameter such as the temperature in a freezer or the like from a predetermined safe limit and means for generating an audible alarm in response thereto.

Abstract: Disclosed is an energy conserving thermostatic control for use wih heating and/or air conditioning systems. The control includes solid state circuitry for automatically controlling or regulating the temperature of an area at at least two different selected temperatures at selected times and for selected periods. The control is compatible with conventional heating and/or air conditioning systems and in most instances can be installed therewith without modification or rewiring of the system.
