Publication number: 20180282157Abstract: Devices are provided for generating a plasma field for dissociating water into elemental hydrogen and water. The elemental hydrogen may be used directly to produce power, or may be stored for use as an energy source or as a commodity. The devices of the present invention can provide on site, point of use sources for producing elemental hydrogen. In addition, the devices can produce a net positive energy output.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2018Publication date: October 4, 2018Inventors: Edward L. Coyle, John W. Evans

Patent number: 7028810Abstract: A work vehicle includes a frame and an axle assembly coupled to the frame. The axle assembly includes a first axle shaft and a first axle housing, with the first axle shaft disposed substantially within the first axle housing; a first wheel coupled to the first axle assembly; an axle lubricating fluid disposed within the first axle housing; and a first axle cooling device disposed within the first axle housing, in contact with at least a portion of the lubricating fluid, and including a first coil. Also disclosed is a method of cooling an axle assembly of a work vehicle. The method includes steps of removing heat from the lubricating fluid by placing the lubricating fluid in contact with the outer surface of a coil, and removing the heat from the inner surface of the coil by circulating the cooling fluid through the passage.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2004Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: CNH America LLCInventors: Edward L.

Patent number: 4452560Abstract: A quick coupler assembly for attaching a material handling bucket or the like to the free ends of lift arms extending from a loader. The quick coupler assembly includes an elongated cross member having hitch brackets on its opposite ends. Each hitch bracket includes an end which is received within a socket coupling member on the rear wall of the bucket near the top edge thereof. The opposite end of the hitch bracket is configured for engagement within a lower coupling member on the bucket rear wall. The coupler assembly further includes an attaching lever which is rotatably secured to the backside of the cross member substantially at its mid-portion. The lower end of the attaching lever is movable into engagement within a coupling member on the rear wall of the bucket. The upper end of the attaching lever includes a slidable or rotatable locking bracket assembly which is selectively moved into locking engagement with a locking member on the bucket rear wall.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1982Date of Patent: June 5, 1984Assignee: J.

Patent number: 3995541Abstract: Baffles are provided in transportation hoppers to solve the problem of upper bulk lading exerting pressure and causing damage to lower bulk lading in the hopper by reducing load density of the lading. The baffles are preferably inclined with respect to the horizontal. More than one layer of baffles may be provided. Supports for the baffles are preferably fixed to the sides and/or roof of the transportation hopper. The baffles may be provided with openings to facilitate circulation of conditioned air through the hopper. The baffles may be provided with larger openings which facilitate loading the hopper. The baffles also may be provided with doors which facilitate loading the hopper by means of a loading chute. The baffles may be used in a wide variety of transportation hoppers. In a preferred embodiment the transportation hopper is a railway hopper car.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1973Date of Patent: December 7, 1976Assignee: ACF Industries, IncorporatedInventors: Edward L.
