Abstract: An Electrical Energy Storage system to store power generated at times of surplus availability of power in the grid or wind derived generator and stored as energy in a flywheel for use at times of grid or wind generated power shortage. The system is based upon computer control of power being processed by hydraulic components into storage provided by a conventional flywheel being hydraulically driven and harvested by means of converting hydraulic energy into electrical energy. Energy for storage may be derived from the national electric grid, any renewable energy source, or other electrical source. The energy stored in the flywheel may be harvested and returned to the grid or any other electrical sink.

Abstract: An energy storage flywheel whose energy storage capacity has been enhanced by the use of circumferentially applied composite fibers. The use of high density metal wafers being laminated with isolating low density laminations ensures maximum energy storage for a given mass and safely limits instant total energy release or the ejection of failed objects upon the event of a mechanical failure.

Abstract: A high efficiency vehicle propulsion system to propel a vehicle using a hydraulic motor pump functioning as motor connected to the vehicle wheels. Vehicle braking and deceleration energy is recaptured using the same hydraulic motor pump functioning as a pump and stored in an inertia wheel configured as a gyroscope. Energy is stored in and retrieved from the inertia wheel by the use of a hydraulic motor pump functioning as a motor to store energy in the inertia wheel of the gyroscope or as a pump or to retrieve energy from the inertial wheel of the gyroscope. Energy to serve the system is derived from the use of a small engine running infrequently and intermittently. Additional energy is retrieved by the use of an active shock absorption system. Energy management and vehicle propulsion are controlled by a central computer processing signals derived from action of an on-board operator, an on-board program of from a remote source.

Abstract: A concrete crack control joint insertion tool to insert joint forming materials into a concrete mixture or alternatively providing means to create a crack control joint without the use of ancillary material. Crack control joint in fresh concrete is formed beneath a rectangular structure supporting linear actuators that drive a blade alone or carrying joint forming materials into a precise location and depth. Crack control joint formation is repeatable completed in a single motion and with continued precise accuracy of placement.

Abstract: A hydraulically propelled, gyroscopically stabilized muter vehicle that exhibits extremely high fuel efficiency and personnel safety. Fuel efficiency is derived from the application of a large energy wheel functioning to provide energy storage as well as inertial stabilization The energy wheel never needs to be replaced and when its energy level as been depleted can be refilled almost immediately. Additional energy is stored in a conventional hydraulic accumulator. A small engine running intermittently for a short time and st its most efficient speed replaces expended energy. Expended energy is also replaced by regenerative decelerations well as wheel bounce. Safety is enhanced by the inertial stability of the energy wheel functioning as a gyroscope that prevents the vehicle from overturning. A Rate Gyroscope in conjunction with a computer controlled vehicle control system prevent spin out accidents.
