Patent number: 11965509Abstract: An internal gear pump or motor includes inner and outer rotors that mesh together. An internal electric motor or generator may include a stator supported by a support element that passes through bearings of the outer rotor and the inner rotor may act as a rotor of the electric motor or generator. With or without the stator, the support element may support bearings of the inner rotor. The support element may be, for example, an eccentric shaft. Fluids may be supplied via the support element, if present, for cooling, lubrication or to flush a working fluid out of portions of the pump or motor, such as bearings. Flushing may also occur via channels in the housing with or without the presence of the support element. Axial faces of one of a pair of adjacent elements, for example the inner rotor and the outer rotor, may include portions for improved axial sealing and wearing in of the other of the pair. Fluid may enter and exit chambers between the inner and outer rotors by radial ports.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Genesis Advanced Technology Inc.Inventors: James Brent Klassen, Alexander Korolev

Publication number: 20240003290Abstract: An energy transfer machine includes a piston and cylinder. The piston can have a rocking motion as it enters and exits the cylinder, for example due to one being on a rotor and the other on a stator. The piston and cylinder form a primary chamber, and as they move relative to each other can form a seal separating the primary chamber into first and second sub-chambers which then unseals before the piston exits the cylinder. The first sub-chamber may reach a maximum geometric compression ratio, for example for the purpose of compression ignition, before the unsealing of the sub-chambers.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: James Brent Klassen, Javier Peter Fernandez-Han

Publication number: 20230392593Abstract: A positive displacement gear pump or gear hydraulic motor having at least a first rotor with first rotor teeth and a second rotor with second rotor teeth, the first rotor teeth meshing with the second rotor teeth. First rotor chambers are defined between first rotor teeth and second rotor chambers are defined between the second rotor teeth. As the rotors mesh, the first rotor chambers, second rotor chambers or both become enclosed or substantially enclosed to form what are referred to here as secondary chambers. Pressure variations in a secondary chamber are relieved by internal flow channels in the first rotor, second rotor or both, creating a fluid connection between the first rotor chambers and the second rotor chambers. The first rotor may be an internal gear rotor or both rotors may be external gear rotors.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 21, 2023Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: James Brent Klassen, Alexander Korolev, Ira Jason Soltis, Timothy Davis Burson, Javier Peter Fernandez-Han

Patent number: 11835231Abstract: A combustor for burning waste material includes a horizontally extended combustion chamber through which a mixture of waste material and air is introduced under pressure tangentially for establishing a vortical movement of the waste material, and is ignited during its vortical movement. A second discharge port extends for discharging from the chamber non-combustible waste material, to a separator which separates the discharged gases and solid material. A secondary air manifold supplies air through controlled dampers at portals positioned at intervals along the length of the chamber. An adjustable baffle is mounted internally on the flue adjacent its open end for deflecting outwardly toward the side wall any combustible material not yet destroyed. A recuperator is mounted externally to the chamber on the exhaust flue, supplying heated air used with primary air flow. Additionally, control means are provided for the use of sensors to monitor the chamber conditions.Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2018Date of Patent: December 5, 2023Inventor: James Brent VanNatta

Patent number: 11391366Abstract: A torque transfer device has a ring gear and inner and outer planet gear sets, which may not be orbiting but rotating in fixed positions relative to a housing. One of the gear sets may comprise compound gears. There may also be a sun gear connected to a planet gear set. The sun gear may be an input and the ring gear an output for a reducing gear system to act as a torque amplifier. The gears may be tapered and there may also be an axial force applied to one of the gear sets to tighten the meshing between the tapered gears. One of the gear sets, for example a gear set to which an axial force is applied, may be floating.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 2018Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: GENESIS ROBOTICS AND MOTION TECHNOLOGIES CANADA, ULCInventor: James Brent Klassen

Publication number: 20220221148Abstract: A combustor for burning waste material includes a horizontally extended combustion chamber through which a mixture of waste material and air is introduced under pressure tangentially for establishing a vortical movement of the waste material toward one of the end walls. The waste material is ignited during its vortical movement. A second discharge port extends for discharging from the chamber non-combustible material entrained in the outer region of the vortex. The discharged material is conveyed through a conduit to a separator which separates the discharged gases and solid material. A secondary air manifold supplies air through controlled and automated dampers at portals positioned at intervals along the length of the chamber. An adjustable baffle is mounted on the flue adjacent its open end for deflecting outwardly toward the side wall solid material which moves from adjacent the one end wall toward the open end of the flue.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2018Publication date: July 14, 2022Inventor: James Brent VanNatta

Publication number: 20220154804Abstract: A planetary gearbox with two rows of planets between an inner race and a coaxial outer race. An input gear may also mesh with the inner planets or the outer planets. To avoid unmeshing of the gears due to twisting from the applied torque, a camming effect may be used in which applied torque generates a radial preload. The gears that mesh with the input gear may do so at portions of the gears that also mesh with a corresponding one of the inner or outer race. The planets may be geared with axial portions with different helix angle. The inner race or outer race may be formed of two components geared with different helix angle to mesh with the different axial portions of the planets. By using these different components, assembly is eased as the components can be slid onto the planets axially.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 27, 2020Publication date: May 19, 2022Inventors: James Brent KLASSEN, Richard BOS

A spring comprising a conical disk and a ring spring around the conical disk, the ring spring being movable up and down relative to the conical disk to adjust the spring force of the spring. A threaded engagement between the ring spring and the conical disk so that rotation of the conical disk moves the ring spring up or down relative to the conical disk. A damper ring around the perimeter of the conical disk to resist the expansion of the circumference of the conical disk. An eccentric ring or cam to adjust the position of the apex of the conical disk relative to an insole by rotating the eccentric ring or cam.
