  • Patent number: 11952973
    Abstract: The inventor provides a pollution-free electricity generator that harnesses the weight and power of ocean waves to turn a shaft that runs an electricity generator. The inventor anchors the ocean wave drill bit corkscrew apparatus in the surf so that ocean waves roll over half of the drill bit corkscrew apparatus and turns a shaft that powers and electricity generator.

  • Patent number: 11761426
    Abstract: A zero-fossil-fuel-using non-polluting apparatus to (1) use wind power to (2) generate a steady flow of hydroelectricity (3) from increasing the height level of water from a water table or river or lake and (4) storing that water and its potential energy in (5) a water tower, and then (6) releasing that water's potential energy in a (7) steady gravity-driven flow in a downward-flowing pipeline to (8) operate in-pipe electricity generators to establish a reliable non-fluctuating source of hydroelectricity from (9) many in-pipe hydroelectricity generators in pipelines to create electricity when the water tower water is released to the in-pipe hydroelectricity generators which creates (10) a steady non-fluctuating stream of water to turn the turbines of many in-pipe hydroelectric generators to create (11) a steady, non-fluctuating flow of electricity regardless of whether the wind is blowing or the sun is shining.

  • Patent number: 11624511
    Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus which can heat water using a Fresnel lens or magnifying glass to focus and concentrate sunlight on water-filled radiator-like tubes which move water, by the water pressure from a water spigot/bib (without pumping), to: 1. move the heated water through tubes to heat any space inside any building, and 2. provide steam to power a steam-powered electricity generator to provide electricity, and charge a battery, during daylight hours, and then use the charged battery to supply electricity during the night hours, and 3. move water, cooled by the subsurface ground, by water pressure from a water spigot/bib without pumping, into proximity with any air space inside any building to cool the air space, and 4. array a series of magnifying glasses or Fresnel lenses in order to catch the rays of the sun from sunrise to sunset and focus those rays on the car radiator-like tubes full of water in order to heat the water without using fossil fuels, and 5.

  • Patent number: 10316536
    Abstract: Fabrication of about a thirty-story parking structure where commuters will park and then take elevators to the to of the structure where they will embark on a skiff or small boat and travel down a water trough that goes over the tops of roads, freeways and bridges to the other side of normal traffic bottlenecks, to docking spaces about the third floor of downtown buildings where they will dock their skiffs or boats and disembark on the dock, and their vacated skiffs will go onto a conveyor belt that will take the vacated skiffs to the top of another thirty-story building in the downtown area where commuters wanting to return to the original parking structure will embark on the skiffs going down a similar water slide back to the original parking structure from which they had departed earlier, to get their cars and trucks and drive back to their homes.

  • Publication number: 20170356427
    Abstract: This invention provides a residential or building apparatus to: 1. transfer water heated by the sun's heat into proximity with the air space inside any residence or building to warm it, and 2. during spring, summer, fall, and winter, provide the sun's heating for the hot water heater, and 3. generate electricity, and charge a battery, during daylight hours by the use of focused sunlight to heat water to power a steam-powered electricity generator, and 4. move water cooled by the subsurface ground into proximity with the air space inside any residence or building to cool it.

  • Publication number: 20170122343
    Abstract: Two or more siphon pipes positioned in successively-higher containers of water to raise water or other liquids up higher than the maximum 10-meter rise for a single siphon by means of the successively-higher containers each holding a bell-shaped, open-bottom structure which will capture a bubble of air and prevent the air bubble from rising to the top of the water surface, and each of which is about ten meters higher than the previous container, without pumping the water or other liquid with a water pump.

  • Publication number: 20140193201
    Abstract: The invention is David Stauffer's river bottom siphon and hydroelectricity generator for a pollution-free hydroelectric energy generator using a submerged river pipeline and gravity for the delivery of fresh river-water for agriculture and drinking through a fabricated ecosystem to ease the problems of global warming, rising ocean levels, flooding, drought, pollution, depletion of the ozone layer, the blockage of fish migration by dams, and loss of rain forests, grazing land, and agricultural land through a system of large river-bottom pipelines to transfer the abundant supply of fresh water on the bottoms of the Columbia and Mississippi Rivers and, eventually, the Nile, Tigris, Rhine, Yellow, and all other rivers throughout the world to lands in need of fresh water (no really, I'm not joking) invention.
