  • Patent number: 10879043
    Abstract: The present invention regards a device intrinsically designed to resonate, suitable for RF power transfer, particularly usable for the production of plasma and electrically connectable downstream of a radio frequency power supply with fixed or variable frequency, comprising at least one inductive element (Lp), which can be powered, during use, by such at least one power supply; at least one capacitive element (Cp) electrically connected at the terminals of such at least one inductive element (Lp); such at least one device having a resonance angular frequency equal to: ?o=1/?LpCp. The capacitive element (Cp) and the inductive element (Lp) have values such that, at resonance state, they provide an equivalent impedance, measured at the terminals of such device, substantially of resistive type and much greater than the value of the parasitic impedance upstream of such terminals of such device, such that the effect of such parasitic impedance is, during use, substantially negligible.

  • Patent number: 9976536
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an air turbine capable of without change in its rotational velocity direction, efficiently absorbing the energy associated with a pressure difference between two spaces (A) and (B) of successively changing sign, as in the case of sea wave energy systems. The turbine comprises two sets of blades (I) and (II), each of which is similar to the blade system of a conventional turbine of radial-, mixed- or axial-flow type. The turbine also comprises a system of ducts that connect spaces (A) and (B) through any of the two blade sets (I) and (II). The turbine may be equipped with a fast-acting valve that stops the flow through one or both blade sets (I) and (II).
