  • Publication number: 20230344370
    Abstract: The present invention offers methods for generating electromagnetic force-fields. The methods utilize a vortex of rapidly rotating discrete matter that may self-generate electromagnetic field and magnetic compression in the Z-axis of the vortex to create an induced electromagnetic force-field in the eye region of the vortex. The induced electromagnetic force-field acts substantially orthogonally outward from ?-plane of the vortex and substantially parallel to the Z-axis of the vortex, and may be harnessed as useful force for engines, motors, rockets, turbines, and/or other applications where power, pressure, propulsion, energy, and/or force are needed. Certain embodiments may also achieve nuclear fusion within the vortex that may be utilized to help power the methods of the present invention and/or be utilized for additional applications where energy is needed.

  • Publication number: 20160170003
    Abstract: The present invention is a solar light aligning apparatus that uses optics and optical physics to align sun light. The solar light aligning apparatus can determine the tilt of any planar surface such that the planar surface is perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the sun. The apparatus can be used as a guide to adjust the tilt angle of solar energy collection apparatus such as solar photovoltaic or solar thermal energy collectors. The solar light aligning apparatus can determine the optimal tilt angle for high efficiency solar energy collection on a daily basis, for any latitude, seasonal movement of the sun, east-west orientation of solar energy collector, and pitch of the surface upon which solar energy collectors are mounted.

  • Publication number: 20150300691
    Abstract: The present invention offers improved absorber plates for solar energy collectors, improved cover glazings for solar energy collectors, improved concentrating solar energy collectors, and solar energy collection methods that use one or more of the improved solar energy collectors for useful residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The improved absorber plate solar energy collectors utilize a porous metal to improve solar radiant absorption collection and utilization, the improved concentrating solar energy collectors are Fresnel lens faced ducts of various geometries that enable efficient axial length solar energy collection, and the improved cover glazings utilize transparent front and back faces with other improvements to enable increased solar radiant energy collection per unit front face cover area of solar collector.
