Abstract: The solar power system with high concentration linear reflective solar panels of the linear parabolic type is intended to increase the electrical power output from conventional silicon solar cells, and heat water for steam power.Circular parabolic reflectors have been used for this purpose but there are not as flexible in application as the linear parabolic reflectors (L. P. R.'s).The solar power system may be arranged as an all electric type using continuous lines of silicon solar cells located at the apex or focal zone of the parabola, or may be designed as a dual solar conversion system with both solar photoelectric means and a water heating steam means, as an indirect or secondary power source.The key feature of the system is the geometric configuration of the linear parabolic reflectors (L. P. R.

Abstract: The four quadrant, deep concave, linear solar concentration panel has been evolved to meet the need for a practical, low-cost solar energy conversion system, for individual house power supplementation installations.This specific type of solar concentration panel is not designed for a solar photovoltaic conversion arrangement, but for a water steam and flash boiler pipe arrangement where the generated steam is used to drive a rotary steam engine and 110 VAC alternator with a minimum rating of 10 KW/hr.The advocated solar concentration panel has a panel width to flash boiler pipe diameter of about 18:1, which provides a solar concentration ratio of between 22:1 and 27:1, at this point in time.The concentration panel width to height cross-section ratio is approximately 2.5:1, and the base focal line distance to panel height ratio is 1:2.5.

Abstract: The magnetic torque multiplier consists of two basic components --one large flat wheel containing two opposite and off-set pole series of equally spaced rare earth/cobalt permanent magnets. The top series of permanent magnets--(N), are attractors, while the lower series--(S) are repellers, relative to corresponding magnet segments on the driving rotor.The second component is the driving helical magnetic path rotor which has an "hourglass" or matching contour configuration with identical rare earth/cobalt permanent magnets equally spaced in a peripheral helical pattern around the driving rotor.Both the driving rotor and driven wheel must be made of non-magnetic material, preferably aluminum and arranged as a non-contacting/-zero friction mechanical worm and worm wheel. A useful torque multiplication occurs at the wheel output shaft relative to the driving rotor input shaft, well above the normal torque step-up ratio--between the two components.

Abstract: The combined high density solar panels and vertical wind turbines consist of multiple solar panels with closely spaced solar cells on both sides which are supported by an open framework and vertical posts.The adoption of an elevated, rooftop solar panel array, supported by vertical posts makes the basic structure attractive for the inclusion of multiple vertical wind turbines, as a supplementary power source.This combined natural power conversion arrangement is intended for mounting on the flat roofs of city buildings and other similar flat, limited area sites.Each solar panel is pivoted within the open framework to follow the sun's excursion relative to the earth, and the solar cells on the panel underside receive the solar energy by way of thin edge reflectors secured to both sides of the solar panels, for a high density exposure configuration.A washing spray provision is included for the panel array, to keep the panels clean and operation at optimum efficiencies.

Abstract: The magnetic torque converter consists of two basic components, -A large flat disc/wheel containing multiple equally spaced permanent magnets arrayed so that all poles attract at the disc periphery, - and a,Driving helical rotor fitted with similar permanent attracting magnets which are equally spaced on the outer helical surface. The pitch of the helical rotor is single or equal to the spacing between two adjacent magnets on the disc/wheel.The disc/wheel and helical rotor are made of non-magnetic durable metal and arranged in the same manner as a mechanical worm and worm wheel. The axes of the two rotating components may be at a right angle to each other, or slightly skewed to favor one direction of rotation or the other, depending on the end application of the unit.

Abstract: The rotary closed series cycle engine system is a rotary version of the latest type of series or double-acting reciprocating Stirling cycle engine. Identical rotary units are mounted in a tandem arrangement with each unit providing the displacement function for an adjacent unit, in a series gas flow loop.Thermal transfer is greatly improved by the application of a large number of small transfer tubes in a high external loop with separation between the hot and cold sources.Since the rotary unit has non-contacting vanes, friction is kept to a minimum while the compression ratio is moderately high.Hydrogen gas is the fuel for the system which is obtained from an electrolysis unit with a wind generator, operating on a continuous demand controlled basis.

Abstract: The advanced pressure electrolysis cell-(APEC Project) combines a conventional electrolysis function with the applying of external pressure on the enclosed water/electrolyte for accelerated gas passage through the permeable tubular electrode walls.The key feature of the P/E cell unit is in combining the usual electrolysis electrodes with porous permeable metal to allow controlled gas passage through the electrode tubes under a pressure differential between the electrolyte zone and the gas passage zone.A hydrophobic plastic coating is required over the porous electrode tubes to prevent water seepage, and minimize pore clogging due to the pressurized electrolyte.The electrodes may be made in the form of tubes, discs or plates to allow for the construction of various forms of cell configuration.A low frequency vibratory input is provided for the cell/unit to give a "sieving effect" to the gas molecules, as they permeate through the electrode walls.

Abstract: The helical expansion condenser is essentially a special heat exchange unit specifically designed for closed cycle vapor turbine systems.The helical expansion condenser, or (HEC), consists of multiple continuous turns or coils of elliptical tubing or built-up metal sheets of elliptical cross-section, which are arranged in a uniform helix.The generally flat elliptical cross-section provides for efficient airflow and heat transfer over the entire surface area of the coils. The airflow over the HEC is provided by vehicular air intake with a large central fan forcing air over forward and aft coils uniformly. Multiple heat pipes are the primary cooling device added to the HEC coils, for a total heat transfer coefficient of 40, approximately.Microfinning of the sheet metal ducts accounts for some of the improved cooling effectiveness.

Abstract: The high density, third dimension geometry solar panels consist of closely placing any type of conventional solar cells in an in depth, oblique attitude to the sun's normal rays.In one panel arrangement, highly polished side reflectors are applied to reflect the sun's rays into the underside groups of solar cells so that a minimum of surface area is required for a higher than normal electrical power yield from the high density cells.The most effective geometric shape for these reflected type of solar panels is the triform, or tri-panel, and modifications of the triform cross-section.Another type of high density solar panel is the V form, or Vee cavity form in which the individual solar cells must have reflective surfaces, for mutual reflection and solar energy concentration.

Abstract: The square form of permeable electrode is advocated for use in pressure electrolysis process units for high, uniform hydrogen and oxygen gas yields per unit area of exposed electrode surfaces.The square form electrode assures uniform electrical conductive flow between the narrow electrolyte gaps between each face of the square anodes and cathodes for even gas molecule polarization.Both thin wall porous rectangular metallic sheets, or extruded square porous metal tubes can be used, or fine mesh monel screening of 400 mesh size may be the electrode material.The total exposed electrode surface area must be as large as possible compared to the overall cell unit size and electrolyte volume.

Abstract: The rotary closed parallel cycle engine system consists of multiple rotary units which are mounted together axially for a combined power output.The rotary units follow a modified Stirling cycle with each eccentric rotor and multi-vaned unit independent from adjacent units, so that gas leakage in any one unit does not disable the engine system.Heat transfer is accomplished by a large number of small diameter transfer tubes formed into wide loops on either side of the engine units.Hydrogen is the internal working gas, and hydrogen is also advocated as the engine fuel source.

Abstract: The rotary Stirling cycle engine system consists of multiple rotary units mounted together for a combined power output. Each rotary unit is comprised of an eccentric rotor, multiple vane rotary engine which is independent from adjacent units in a modular arrangement.Heat transfer is accomplished by multiple heat transfer tubing loops located on either side of each rotary unit, with heating and cooling sources in close proximity to the tubing loops.Both internal and external regeneration techniques are utilized to improve overall performance and efficiency.Hydrogen is the internal working gas and any suitable fuel may be used to heat the engine system.
