  • Power generating hydroconveyor
    Patent number: 9518557
    Abstract: Hydroconveyors are described which utilize magnetic levitation or magnetic suspension to support a collection of conveyor elements. The hydroconveyors are located above or partially within a flowstream such as a river. Additional versions of the hydroconveyors are described which include velocity increasing waterways located upstream of an end of the hydroconveyor. The various hydroconveyors can be used in conjunction with electrical generators to provide electrical power.
    Type: Grant

  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ANALYZING ECONOMIC PHENOMENA
    Publication number: 20160328723
    Abstract: Various methods and systems for analyzing economic systems are described. A representative method determines a change in wealth of an economic system by identifying certain transactions in the economic system at different times, assessing a transaction rate, identifying a value of economy of ownership entities, and applying a particular formula to determine the change in wealth of the system.
