Abstract: Power-saver apparatus modifying the physics of the closed-loop vapor-circuit compression-refrigeration cycle by scavenging the kinetic energy of the hot compressed liquid-vapor with at least one micro-turbine driven permanent-magnet power-generator inserted into said loop between the compressor and the condenser of said circuit, whereas said cycle repeats indefinitely in closed-loop vapor-pipe-line of one or more refrigeration stages, each having at least one of the following devices in the following sequence: a) electric-motor-driven-compressor, b) micro-turbine-power-generator, c) condenser-radiator, d) throttle and e) evaporator-radiator, whereas said generator is sealed in said pipe-line and generates low-voltage direct-current, which is converted to high-voltage alternating-current, which, using an inverter, is utilized to offset the power consumption of said refrigerator by feeding the generated power back to the grid, which powers said compressor, and wherein the refrigerated space comprising the said

Abstract: A light weight vehicle sun screen is provided having a mounting system adaptable to curved windows of varying curvature. A pair of articulated mounting brackets are connected to substantially flat mounting plates thereby allowing the mounting plates to pivot until they are substantially aligned with the glass surface. The mounting plates can be secured to the glass directly or to the frame adjacent the glass via reticulated fasteners or the equivalent. The screen is biased toward a retracted position by a biasing assembly mounted substantially within a roller. A biasing spring straddles the shaft and is mounted to the frame with built-in windup so as to bias the screen toward the retracted position. The spring force can be overcome by drawing the screen down and securing the screen to a suitable retaining device.
