Abstract: The present invention provides a vapor powered apparatus for generating electric power. Embodiments of the present invention include a storage tank containing a working fluid having a boiling point less than 160° F., a heating source that vaporizes at least a portion of the working fluid to provide a working pressure of the vaporized working fluid, and a pressure motor that converts the working pressure of the vaporized working fluid into mechanical motion. The vaporized working fluid exiting the pressure motor is captured, condensed and returned to the storage tank. Preferably, at least some of the components of the apparatus are hermetically sealed by an outer casing.

Abstract: There is provided a lighting fixture adapted to be installed on a ceiling having a predetermined plane. A light emitting diode light source is supported by the lighting fixture. At least a portion of the lighting fixture protrudes below the plane of the ceiling supported by the lighting fixture. A heat sink is attached to the back side of the LED light source. The heat sink includes a thermal chimney directing heat away from the LED light source.

Abstract: A motorcycle fan unit or a horn and fan combination unit includes a decorative cover having a primary surface. An optional first bracket is attached to the cover, and an optional horn is attached to the first bracket. A second bracket is attached to the cover, and a fan is attached to the second bracket. The horn and fan are located behind the cover so as to be hidden from view when the cover is viewed from an angle being approximately perpendicular to the primary surface, or when the motorcycle is viewed from its lateral side. The fan may be located behind the horn in an overlapping fashion. Also, the fan may be designed to move air along a path approximately perpendicular to the primary surface of the cover and also move air along a path approximately parallel to the primary surface of the cover.

Abstract: An oil cooler for a motorcycle includes a heat exchanger residing within a primary drive between an engine pulley and a clutch pulley. A fan within the primary drive pushes or pulls air through the heat exchanger. The fan may be electrically or mechanically operated and mounted to one of a base plate or a cover plate of the primary drive. Alternatively, the fan may be formed as a mechanical portion of one of the primary drive components. Vectoring blades may assist in directing an air flow within the primary drive to the heat exchanger, and vents may be formed in the cover plate for air intake and/or exhaust.

Abstract: There is provided an LED light fixture including a housing adapted to be mounted a predetermined height above a surface. The housing includes at least one LED emitter situated so as to emit light toward the surface below the housing. A first lens plate is provided and is removably attached to the housing. The first lens plate has a first opening therein and a first lens having a first angle of light dispersion is received in the opening. The opening of the first lens plate is aligned with the LED emitter so that the first lens controls the footprint of the pattern of light from the LED emitter which impinges upon the surface.

Abstract: A fluid cooler for a fluid, such as oil, associated with an engine of a motorcycle or other vehicle, includes a housing, which may be tubular. In one embodiment, the housing includes a first vent for air intake located in a first end cap of the housing, and a second vent for air exhaust located in a second end cap. The second vent may have a cross sectional area approximately equal to a cross sectional area of the first vent. Within the housing, a fluid passageway contains a flow path of the fluid associated with the engine. A fan moves air past the fluid passageway. By the design of the cooler and its mounting orientation on the vehicle, in a preferred embodiment, substantially no air passes by the fluid passageway when the fan is not operating regardless of whether the vehicle is moving.

Abstract: A fluid cooler for cooling a fluid, such as oil, associated with an engine of a vehicle, such as a motorcycle, includes a housing for mounting to a portion of the vehicle. In one embodiment, the housing is tubular in shape. First and second vents for air flow are formed in the housing. In one embodiment, the first vent is for air intake and is located in a first end cap of the housing, while the second vent is for air exhaust, is located in a second end cap and has a cross sectional area approximately equal to a cross sectional area of the first vent. Within the housing, a fluid passageway exists for containing a flow path of the fluid associated with the engine. A fan moves air past the fluid passageway. By the design of the cooler and its mounting orientation on the vehicle, in a preferred embodiment, substantially no air passes through the housing when the fan is not operating regardless of whether the vehicle is moving.
