  • Patent number: 8168143
    Abstract: A process and system for producing hydrocarbon compounds or fuels that recycle products of hydrocarbon compound combustion—carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide, or both, and water. The energy for recycling is electricity derived from preferably not fossil based fuels, like from nuclear fuels or from renewable energy. The process comprises electrolysing water, and then using hydrogen to reduce externally supplied carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide, then using so produced carbon monoxide together with any externally supplied carbon monoxide and hydrogen in Fischer-Tropsch reactors, with upstream upgrading to desired specification fuels—for example, gasoline, jet fuel, kerosene, diesel fuel, and others. Energy released in some of these processes is used by other processes. Using adiabatic temperature changes and isothermal pressure changes for gas processing and separation, large amounts of required energy are internally recycled using electric and heat distribution lines.

  • Patent number: 4780801
    Abstract: Uninterruptible power supply apparatus which provides for supplying ac power to equipment even if and when the primary ac power is interrupted is disclosed and comprises an ac to dc converter connected to receive the primary ac power. The output of the ac to dc converter is applied to a dc power source. The resultant output of the ac to dc converter and the dc power source is provided as a dc input to a dc to ac inverter. The dc to ac inverter comprises an output transformer having a center-tapped primary. A first switching device is connected between a first end of the center-tapped primary and the negative terminal of the dc input to provide power pulses to one-half of the center-tapped primary. A second switching device is connected between a second end of the center-tapped primary and the negative terminal of the dc input to provide power pulses to the remaining half of the center-tapped primary.

  • Patent number: 4685042
    Abstract: An inverter circuit for a power train has a rectifier for rectifying a three phase AC input and a filter comprising an inductor and capacitor to produce a filtered DC signal for application to the inverter. A high to low voltage transducer receives the filtered DC signal to produce a low voltage output representation thereof. A leading phase shifter shifts the low voltage signal in phase. A sample and hold amplifier receives shifted signal, and a pulse generator generates timing pulses applied to the sample and volt amplifier, whereby the sample and hold amplifier produces an output signal amplitude corresponding to the amplitude of the shifted signal during periods indicated by the pulse generator output. A triangle wave generator provides a triangle wave output to a pulse width modulator, which also receives the output from the sample and hold amplifier to produce an output pulse indicative of the signal level of the filtered DC output.
