  • Publication number: 20140028030
    Abstract: An apparatus comprises a station that multiplies and distributes power and comprises an electric generator, a segment of circular arc and at least one torque gearbox with low power consumption. Each of the at least one torque gearbox includes two dc electric motors, a hydraulic turbine, two hydraulic pumps, a cooling water condenser, a water storage tank, a pulley, and an switchgear frame having circuit breakers, relays, electrical cables, an electronic control, voltage, current and power displays, a bridge rectifier, a control device for engines with direct current and actuation buttons.

  • Publication number: 20100187821
    Abstract: Sustainable process of clean energy generation and distribution, belonging to the field of energy production, comprising a generator system that contains engine, reductor, tension transformer, current rectificator, also named electric-electronic switched power supply, and battery banks, which waive re-feeding, either by means of gas, alcohol, gasoline, diesel, and coal, wind, nuclear, thermoelectric, hydroelectric or any other, since the energy is supplied by the very system.

  • Patent number: 7395858
    Abstract: A process for the selective controlled reduction of the relative water permeability in high permeability, oil-bearing formations, with negligible reduction of the permeability to oil. The process comprises, for sandstone reservoir rocks, a first layer of cationic polymer, followed by a brine spacer slug and a second polymer layer made up of a suspension of anionic polymer and an anionic or non-ionic microgel, optionally this configuration being repeated. As a result the thickness of the polymer layer is considerably increased, which permits the process to be used in high permeability formations. For limestone rocks the first layer is made up of anionic polymer, while the second layer involves a suspension of cationic polymer/cationic or non-ionic microgel. The polymers are all injected as aqueous suspensions in brine or seawater.

  • Patent number: 4399846
    Abstract: A mechanism for the granulometric distribution of solid particles being loaded into a vessel of relatively large dimensions, such as a process reactor, blast furnace, silo, incinerator, dryer, etc., from equipment of small dimensions in relation to the vessel, includes a feed hopper which has an outlet opening that can be variably positioned within the mechanism to introduce the solid particles into a chamber located above the uppermost ends of a plurality of concentric, inclined, preferably conical or pyramidal surfaces. The latter define respective generally downwardly directed free flow paths for the particles to conduct them to a lower location where they enter the upper ends of a corresponding plurality of concentric sets of descending tubes. The discharge ends of the tubes where they feed into the vessel being charged are disposed in a symmetric array.
