Abstract: A mobile phone having an integrated solar powered charging system includes a housing with a solar panel, a regulating circuit, and a cord. The solar panel is connected to the regulating circuit with an electrically conductive element. An electrical current generated by the solar panel is transferred through a conductor to the regulating circuit. When the battery cover is installed onto the mobile phone, the regulating circuit contacts and charges the mobile phone battery. The solar powered charging system can be incorporated into an adjustable charging dock for a tablet or a mobile phone having a housing with an integrally formed solar panel connected to a regulating circuit that is electrically connected to the mounting surface of the charging dock. A mobile device is connected to the mounting surface of the charging dock to receive a charge.

Abstract: A solar powered attic fan having a solar panel in electrical communication with a fan vent having a housing. The attic fan system operates on a Variable Direct Current (VDC) that is powered by solar power. The housing is adapted to support a motor having fan blades attached thereto. The housing is connected to the underside of a roof vent. A flange is located around the perimeter of the housing. The flange has a surface that receives an attaching element. A fastener can be received by an opening in the flange to secure the housing to the underside of a roof vent. The flange can be a layer extending from the perimeter of the housing to create a seal between the housing and an opening of a roof vent. The flange has a plurality of hinged mounting tabs having an opening adapted to receive a fastener.

Abstract: In solar heating apparatus a low-pressure system comprises a solar panel, a reservoir spaced apart from the solar panel, and plumbing connecting the solar panel and the reservoir. The solar panel, reservoir and plumbing form a loop for circulating a first fluid therethrough. The fluid is heated in the reservoir. A high-pressure system comprises a storage tank for storing a second fluid and plumbing for conducting the second fluid into heat-exchange relation to the first fluid as heated, whereby the second fluid is also heated. A pair of pumps is mounted for circulating the first and second fluids within the low-pressure and high-pressure systems, respectively. A motor drives one of the pumps, and a drive shaft connects the pumps, whereby both of the pumps are operated simultaneously by the motor.

Abstract: A heat collector and radiator for allowing the absorption of lower atmosphere radiation by the maximizing of the surface area capable of absorbing the diffuse radiation. A plurality of closely spaced tubular elements are disposed in parallelism with relatively narrow web portions interconnecting the adjacent tubular elements and in tangential relationship therewith. The structure is unitarily formed from a polymer material admixed with carbon black or like additive. A header means at each opposite end of the tubular elements/web portions communicates therewith. The structure is selective in the respect that it has an emissivity lower than absorptivity, and is less effected by the incident angle.
