  • Publication number: 20220048649
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system configured to move a solar wing in three dimensions to increase downforce and solar panel efficiency. This is accomplished through a solar wing, a drive mechanism, a rail mechanism, and a support mechanism. These components work in conjunction to provide a lightweight and compact system configured to move and rotate a solar wing to maximize downforce and increase solar panel efficiency.

  • Patent number: 11073247
    Abstract: The present invention provides a system configured to contain and redirect any explosion caused by the combustible gas as a safety precaution. This is accomplished through a cover, a floor plate, and one or a plurality of tanks adapted to retain high pressure combustible gas. The cover and floor plate will create an extremely rigid and temperature-resistant enclosure, while the tanks are positioned inside said enclosure. These components work in conjunction to provide a lightweight and compact system configured to contain an explosion, and alternatively, to redirect the explosion and resultant shrapnel downward and through the floor plate if the explosion cannot be contained.
    Type: Grant

    Inventor: Constantine E. Kafantaris
  • Patent number: 11060667
    Abstract: The present invention provides a rapid gas release system for rapidly regulating and burning compressed, combustible gas as a safety precaution to prevent explosion, while also exhausting any heat produced by the burning. This is accomplished through a combustor, a regulator in fluid connection with the combustor and a tank, a controller, and a cooling chamber. The tank contains the compressed combustible gas, which is released into the combustion chamber and burned, then exhausted to the cooling chamber.

  • Publication number: 20210109612
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composite touch screen display configured to produce an image on a contoured surface without warping. This is accomplished through a display configured to produce an image, a fiber optic panel configured to project the image produced by the display, a touch screen, and a frame configured to retain all of the above components. These components work in conjunction to project the light of the image through a fiber optic panel onto a contoured surface, while maintaining the proportions of the image after projection.
