Patent number: 7604454Abstract: An apparatus for generating electricity from fluid currents comprises a continuous loop structure and at least one blade movably mounted relative to the continuous loop structure and extending in a direction radially outward relative to the continuous loop structure, the at least one blade being configured to rotate about an axis of the continuous loop structure. The at least one blade may be configured to interact with fluid currents moving in a direction approximately parallel to the axis of the continuous loop structure to rotate the at least one blade about the axis of the continuous loop structure. At least a portion of the least one blade may intersect a plane of the continuous loop structure that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the continuous loop structure. Rotation of the at least one blade may generate electrical energy.Type: GrantFiled: October 9, 2008Date of Patent: October 20, 2009Assignee: Oceana Energy CompanyInventors: Daniel E. Power, III, Ned R. Hansen, Dody Bachtar, Alan Schilke

Publication number: 20090096216Abstract: A system for generating electricity from fluid currents having one or more trolleys that move along a closed-loop track as a result of the action of fluid currents on one or more blades attached to each trolley. Spacing between trolleys is preferably maintained by a spacing ring to which the trolleys are attached. Optionally, one or more blades made be attached to the spacing ring. The trolleys are supported and guided either by wheels or magnetic levitation. Electrical energy is preferably created by the movement of magnets in an electrical ring attached to the trolleys with respect to a conductor connected to the track.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 9, 2008Publication date: April 16, 2009Inventors: Daniel E. Power, III, Ned R. Hansen, Dody Bachtar, Alan Schilke

Publication number: 20050178283Abstract: A variably curved track-mounted amusement ride having, in a first embodiment, at least one outside curve and at least one inside curve, each lying substantially within a vertical plane and each having an axis of symmetry which is substantially horizontal. The vertical distance occupied by an outside curve is less than that occupied by an inside curve. The track can retain a cart which runs on the track no matter what the orientation of the body of the cart is with respect to the track. Any means that is well known in the art can be used to raise the cart to the beginning of the track. No portion of the track, except optionally the lowest level, lies directly below at least the farthest outside portion of an outside curve. A second embodiment has only outside curves.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 6, 2003Publication date: August 18, 2005Inventors: Stanley Checketts, Ned Hansen, Quin Checketts, Lawrence Allen, Dody Bachtar, Benjamin Clegg, Michael Winger

Patent number: 6857373Abstract: A variably curved track-mounted amusement ride having at least one outside curve and at least one inside curve, each lying substantially within a vertical plane and each having an axis of symmetry which is substantially horizontal. Preferably, the top curve is an outside curve; and preferably inside and outside curves alternate with each other. Also preferably, before the first curve, between each outside curve and each inside curve, and after the last curve is a substantially straight segment which slopes downward. The vertical distance occupied by an outside curve is less than that occupied by an inside curve. The track can retain a cart which runs on the track no matter what the orientation of the body of the cart is with respect to the track. Any means that is well known in the art can be used to raise the cart to the beginning of the track.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2002Date of Patent: February 22, 2005Inventors: Stanley J.
