  • Patent number: 8067850
    Abstract: This invention involves a method of creating a hydroelectric turbine system that is capable of producing electricity while sustaining a majority of the fluid flow or hydraulic pressure within the pipe line or pipe network driving the system. The system's objective is to shave as little pressure as possible from an enclosed pipe system that requires pressure to operate and function properly. More particularly, this invention relates to a hydroelectric turbine generator system wherein the system is specially designed and configured with an unique impeller and fluted turbine housing that enable a generator device to produce a particular amount of electric current and voltage, while yet minimizing flow restriction and pressure loss to the fluid pressure driving the system.

  • Publication number: 20100033015
    Abstract: A unitized electrical generating and storage system is herein described that combines up to three sources, hydroelectric, solar and wind, of that can produce electric power. This invention encompasses an enclosed housing structure that securely and efficiently integrates multiple power generating technologies and electrical storage capacity into a single platform assembly or unit that is easy to install and implement. It can be applied to a variety of applications and locations where conventional utility power or a single renewable energy source can not be reasonably incorporated. This invention is designed to address the electrical needs of remote sites or locations where other power supply facilities or means are non-existent or difficult to impossible to implement and creates more aesthetic power generating equipment to sites along highways, roads, parks, golf courses, rivers, lakes and reservoirs.

  • Patent number: 7050887
    Abstract: A passive wireless sensor and control transmitter subsystem is provided for operating irrigation or other hydraulic system. The system includes a master module unit hardwired to and in communication with an existing hydraulic system controller, and a field module unit that is hardwired to and in communication with field electromechanical control devices such as valves, solenoids and servo motors, and field sensors indicating, for example, atmospheric conditions. The master module unit and field module unit communicate with digital wireless communication and can act as a simple wireless bridge providing pass through data connectivity. The master module and field module units are capable of digitizing input signals from the devices to which they are hardwired and transmitting them to the opposite module; they are further capable of recreating the digitized signals received back into the analog form to reproduce the original input signal and communicating it to the device to which it is hardwired.
