Publication number: 20190040849Abstract: The present invention features a solar-thermal power generator. The generator makes use of solar energy to heat a component of the generator which leads to the heating of air or fluid within the generator. The rise of the heated air of fluid is channeled towards turbines which turn to produce electrical power.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 4, 2017Publication date: February 7, 2019Applicant: GRAVITY WELLS TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventor: KENT BUTLER

Patent number: 9765493Abstract: The present invention features a flood damage prevention apparatus having a modular equilateral triangular prism enclosure with an interlocking system used to interlock and position additional modules of the apparatus during flood damage prevention deployment. The interlock system enables additional modules of the flood damage prevention apparatus to be locked in position. Each module may be protected from flood debris damage by way of a protective covering over each enclosure. The apparatus may be filled with fluid via a seal tight opening located on the surface of the enclosure which in turn may be closed using a seal tight apparatus.Type: GrantFiled: October 5, 2015Date of Patent: September 19, 2017Assignee: GRAVITY WELLS TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventor: Kent Butler

Patent number: 7255133Abstract: A fluid pressure system (S) includes a flexible diaphragm bladder (172) located inside a pressure tank (164) installed within a fluid system such as well (168). In preferred aspects, the bladder (172) can be inflated by the introduction of air and is located within a flexible confining tube (198) or confining element (298) for preventing over expansion of the bladder (172). The bladder (172) and the confining tube or element (198, 298) are free floating in and without physical connection with the pressure tank (164) in preferred forms. The pressure tank (164) includes a flexible side wall (196) to allow folding or willing of the assembled fluid pressure system (S) in preferred forms. Confining tube (198) in a preferred form is of a cylindrical configuration and arranged concentrically around the bladder (172). Confining element (298) is carried by the bladder (172) and creates a barrier extending along a chord of a cross section of pressure tank (164).Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2006Date of Patent: August 14, 2007Assignee: In-Well Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth A. Meyers, Thomas A. Moon

Patent number: 7093651Abstract: A water pressure system includes a pressure tank installed underground within the well casing of a well. The water pressure system includes a submersible pump connected to the inlet of the pressure tank by a drop pipe. The outlet of the pressure tank is connected to a second drop pipe and in turn to a discharge pipe for distribution of pressurized water to a house or other building. A pressure switch is connected to the pressure tank for controlling the submersible pump. The pressure tank includes an outer sidewall with an inlet end and an outlet end. A flexible diaphragm bladder located within the outer sidewall is connected between the inlet and outlet of the tank. In a first embodiment, a tube extends through the center of the bladder between an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The tube has a plurality of holes therein to allow water to flow into and out of the flexible bladder. Pressurized air fills the space between the bladder and the outer sidewall to pressurize the water in the bladder.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2005Date of Patent: August 22, 2006Assignee: In-Well Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth A. Meyers, James A. Meyers

Patent number: 6684945Abstract: An air filter for a well is installed within a well casing of the well. The air filter forming an airtight seal around the well casing of the well, such that all the air that enters and exits the well must pass through the air filter. The air filter preferably includes a filter housing, at least one removable gasket and a removable filter cartridge installed within an opening extending through the filter housing. The air filter prevents dirt, dust, bacteria, gaseous chemicals, volatile organic compounds, (VOCs), insects and other air born contaminants from entering and possibly contaminating the well. An air filter may also be installed within a vent pipe extending through a well seal attached to the top of a well casing of a well.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2002Date of Patent: February 3, 2004Assignee: In-Well Technologies, Inc.Inventor: Kenneth A.
