  • Publication number: 20130101356
    Abstract: These Ocean rafts for mining hydrogen consist of a variety of structurally connected modules that form seaworthy powered maneuverable floating ocean platforms for an on-board hydrogen mining and storage facility, as well as an oxygen, distillation, and mineral recovery operation. These operations shall be powered by synergistic clean energy systems consisting of: a photogalvanic solar array; wind turbines; perimeter wave action devices; and mechanisms that derive electrical energy from the variable tension on the anchor lines. There may also be a small on-board nuclear reactor to generate continuous additional electricity. Underwater propellers powered by fuelcells, capable of a full 360 degree rotation and located on the corners of the platform, will enable rotation and navigation of the entire assembly.

  • Publication number: 20110185700
    Abstract: This invention is a series of Jet engine bird diverters designed to attach to the side(s) of the jet engines and the leading edge of the jet engine housing or become an integral part of the leading edge of the jet engine housing. The designs embody aerodynamic structural titanium support systems that extend forward and terminate directly in front of the centerline of the jet engine terminating at a circular titanium forward spoke connecter that receives a sharply angled series of identical bird deflection spokes that trail back and attach to the perimeter of the jet engine intake housing or nacelle. All of the support elements and deflection members shall be aeronautically designed to direct a maximum amount of air into the jet engine.

  • Patent number: 7932619
    Abstract: These Free Renewable Energy Designs capture the Earth's tidal energy forces. These systems of interconnected modules are capable of capturing and releasing massive amounts of sea water through water control gate(s) located on the barges. Type A design modules are permanently suspended between high tide and low tide levels and converts Earth's tidal energy into electricity by means of bidirectional water driven turbines contained within cylindrical housings located adjacent to the watertight control gate(s), and at the internal connections between the individual modules, and by bidirectional air driven turbines on the air pressure relief vents. Type B design modules are dynamically secured against massive columns with foundations, and are capable of moving freely up and down the columns, thus using gravitational kinetic energy and buoyant kinetic energy to mechanically drive electrical generators between tidal changes.
