  • Publication number: 20120025543
    Abstract: A linear hydraulic and generator coupling apparatus for transferring and manipulating power. The apparatus has an electrical system, a hydraulic system and a gear system. In operation, the electrical system directs the hydraulic system to force the rack of the gear system into horizontal motion. The gear system transfers the linear kinetic energy into angular momentum, and from there into electrical energy via selectively engaging alternating gears. The gear system preferably has two sets of gears that are engaged with the electrical system by selectively sliding the gears into position.

  • Publication number: 20110215588
    Abstract: The present invention consists of a generator or alternator coupled with a hydraulic cylinder/motor network. The coupling is achieved by a gear, rack and pinion system. Once the hydraulic cylinder/motor network is initiated by a battery, the output-shaft moves a rack in a linear motion while in contact with the pinion, which is mounted to the shaft of the generator/alternator, thus causing rotation of the generator/alternator shaft. As the generator/alternator shaft rotates, an electrical current is produced that can be used to supply a charge back to the battery and/or other articles which need a supply of electricity to operate, commercial or residential.

  • Publication number: 20110138803
    Abstract: A system of transferring energy and a method of use thereof, wherein the system and method utilize an energy source, a motor and a plurality of hydraulic networks of varying lengths to transfer energy to an energy output device, and wherein the energy transferred to the energy output device is selectively transferred to an external load, and wherein electromechanical interference is obviated. The system further provides for differing sizes of input hydraulic and output hydraulic networks to facilitate conformance to size constraints.

  • Publication number: 20090250941
    Abstract: Today, the world is faced with an energy crisis. There are needs for improved ways to conserve energy, increase efficiency of present systems and create a new way of controlling energy. One way to combat this problem is to create a system which utilizes any form of kinetic energy (ex. water current and wind) and transfer its energy through a plurality of hydraulic networks to increase energy efficiency. A more desirable solution is to utilize an electrical motor coupled with a plurality of hydraulic networks and an electrical charging system. This system can be configured to sustain continuous independent (residential) or commercial power for various applications as well as all power equipment, cars, etc. This motor/hydraulic/charge coupling not only provides the most cost-effective means of power, but helps saves the environment as well.

  • Publication number: 20090249781
    Abstract: Today, the world is faced with many problems such as the Greenhouse Effect, global warming, ozone layer depletion and increased pollution. One direct cause of these problems has been linked to the emission from internal combustion engines. One way to combat these problems is to create a system which utilizes a small internal combustion engine or electrical motor coupled with a hydraulic network. The hydraulic network will exponentially increase output energy without raising the emission levels. In the case where an electrical motor is being used, there is a complete void of pollutants. This motor/hydraulic coupling not only helps save the environment, but provides a cost-effective means of power.
