  • Patent number: 4845376
    Abstract: A self contained hydroelectric generator which includes two fluid tanks mutually connected to a turbine generator. A volume of fluid is transferred between the tanks by either an elevator or a weight positioned within the first fluid tank. The elevator or weight is raised and lowered by inflating and deflating low density gas balloons connected thereto. As the elevator or weight is lifted by the inflated balloons, fluid is transferred from the first tank into the second tank. As the fluid moves from one tank to the other through the turbine generator, the turbines impellers rotate to cause the generator's armature to rotate within a magnetic field to produce electricity.

  • Patent number: 4284899
    Abstract: A power supply generator system including a fuel cell, an impulse turbine, an electrolyzer and a regulator battery which serve to supply each other and a consumer with energy. The fuel cell combines hydrogen and oxygen to produce electricity and water. The fuel cell is located at a distance above the impulse turbine and the water from the fuel cell falls to activate the turbine which produces energy. The water then flows to the electrolyzer to be separated into hydrogen and oxygen for fuel cell use.

  • Patent number: 4112466
    Abstract: A television screen comprising an electroluminescent sheet sandwiched with electroconductive sheets. Electrical pulse signals responsive to a horizontal sweep input are applied to the sides of two of the electroconductive sheets, and pulse signals responsive to a vertical sweep input are applied to the top and bottom of two of the electroconductive sheets. The pulses are modulated with the video input. The signals propagating across the sheets produce a dot at the intersection point, which moves in accordance with the pattern of the sweep signals to produce a video picture.
