  • Patent number: 4284900
    Abstract: An energy conversion system utilizing gravity flow of water from a high elevation to sea level utilizing gravity to provide large pressure gradients in pipe lines as large quantities of water move from a high elevation at low pressure to low elevations at high pressure and then move under controlled conditions to low atmosphere pressure to operate electrical generators to generate large amounts of electrical current which can be effectively used for electrolysis separation of large volumes of hydrogen gas and oxygen from water and for other purposes.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4214628
    Abstract: A system for injecting fluid into underground formations for various purposes including the secondary and tertiary recovery of oil or other hydrocarbons from underground formations, storage of fresh water in underground formations, recharging depleted or insufficient fresh water underground strata from rainfall run off or other sources of fresh water to provide fresh water supply during low rainfall periods or the like, disposal of brine or saline solutions into underground formations where such solutions will be purified by filtering through porous media and disposal of contaminated fluids resulting from industrial, chemical processes, and the like.

  • Patent number: 4160924
    Abstract: A permanent magnet armature is reciprocated between electromagnetic coil assemblies in a motor chamber that is evacuated and maintained at a cryogenic temperature by circulation of a cryogenic cooling medium through pressure sealed, coil enclosing spaces of the coil assemblies. Shock absorbers absorb the thrust applied by the armature to the coil assemblies at the ends of its stroke. The armature drives pumps for transmitting motive energy externally of an insulated enclosure within which the power plant is housed.

  • Patent number: 4102394
    Abstract: A control unit for oil wells for maximizing the efficiency of a producing oil well field, including the use of a variable speed AC motor powering each oil well pump jack, which enables the operator to control the strokes per minute on the pump unit and adjust the speed of the upstroke relative to the downstroke of the unit which is accomplished by the variable speed motor also having a variable cycle. This enables the operator to adjust the speed of the pump jack to pump all the oil that the formation will yield and also slowdown the downstroke so that excessive pounding against fluid columns and the resulting shock and vibration of the rod, tubing, pump and pump jack can be substantially eliminated.

  • Patent number: 3949249
    Abstract: A magnetic motor wherein a piston mounted magnet is reciprocated through a predetermined stroke in timed relation to polarity reversal of a pair of electro-magnetic assemblies at opposite axial ends of the piston cylinder. Polarity reversal and the intensity of the magnetic field is varied as a function of piston movement through a distributor to control the output of the motor. Hysteresis and flux leakage is reduced by an arrangement of permanent magnets and magnetic spheroids associated with one of the electro-magnetic assemblies.
