  • Patent number: 11566610
    Abstract: A machine and process to compress ambient air using natural swell of ocean waves to store energy. The devise is a bi-directional air pump operated by ocean wave power of water buoyancy as well as earth gravity in a pressure vessel using a piston. The machine uses a large surface area as float connected by a rod to a small area as piston, housed in a pressure vessel to multiply compression of air. The compression of air is directly proportional to the respective surface areas of float to the piston attached with a rod inside the pressure vessel. An array of similar machines can be employed to multiply potential energy output.

  • Publication number: 20070130929
    Abstract: A machine and a process to produce compressed air by sea waves, using the weight of the floating platform with its fixture using its up and down movement to compress air in both directions to absorb the maximum energy of that wave in a direct drive bidirectional pump with a single piston wherein the kinetic energy and wave bouncy force is used to compress ambient air as stored energy. This unique arrangement doubles air volume for compression in both directions in any single wave curve, doubles the energy production in both upper and lower chambers of the pump and multiplies the “psi” based on the float thrust area against the size of the piston in the pump. The preferred embodiment can be used as a stand alone unit as well as in array formation for the desired output 24/7.

  • Publication number: 20040052640
    Abstract: A new modification in conventional wind mills wherein the wings are tilted between 95 degree to 159 degrees and their wings are modified, having thicker supporting shafts at the base and gradual thinner shafts towards their tips at their outermost circumference These wings are made with flexible material in metal or plastics to flex the wings with the wind gusts and reduce their sweep area and angle of attack in sync with wind speed.

  • Publication number: 20040042899
    Abstract: The technology of all weather wind turbine is disclosed by applying it to a savonius design wind turbine although it can be applied to all kinds of windmills based on rotational mechanism in general and specifically in the field of wind turbines. In this current embodiment the art is used to a savonius design rotor. A Savonius rotor assembly includes two blades. Each of the blades has an outer edge and an inner edge with the outer edges of the blades lying on a circle which define the diameter of the rotor. Each of the blades has a linear portion adjacent to the inner edge and a first curved portion which is substantially an arc of a circle tangent to the linear portion and tangent to the circle defining the rotor diameter. A second curved portion is substantially coincident to the circle defining the rotor diameter. In some applications multiple blades or multiple units are mounted in layers for more torque.
