  • Patent number: 9584056
    Abstract: A polyphasic multi-coil generator includes a driveshaft, at least first and second rotors rigidly mounted on the driveshaft so as to simultaneously synchronously rotate with rotation of the driveshaft, and at least one stator sandwiched between the first and second rotors. The stator has an aperture through which the driveshaft is rotatably journalled. A stator array on the stator has an equally circumferentially spaced-apart array of electrically conductive coils mounted to the stator in a first angular orientation about the driveshaft. The rotors and the stator lie in substantially parallel planes. The first and second rotors have, respectively, first and second rotor arrays.

  • Patent number: 9379552
    Abstract: An electric power generation system is provided, including a generator having a plurality of stages engaged by a prime mover; and a plurality of branches for connecting the stages to an electrical load, each of the branches having a switch for connecting or disconnecting the branch to the stages. Power from a prime mover, such as a turbine, is sent by a controller to one or more of the branches as appropriate to handle the power level generated.

  • Publication number: 20100059358
    Abstract: A distiller to be used for water purification, said distiller comprising a condenser, an evaporation pan, means for allowing heated air to enter below said pan and joining an airflow above the pan, and an evaporator for collecting water from the airflow The method for purifying water using this distiller is to draw airflow above the evaporation pan containing contaminated water, passing the airflow across a cooling element, into a heat pipe, through a condenser and through the evaporation pan Purified water is collected from the airflow when it is passed across the cooling element.

  • Publication number: 20060101838
    Abstract: A water condenser includes a fan which draws a primary airflow through an upstream refrigerant evaporator, through an air-to-air heat exchanger and in one embodiment also an air-to-water heat exchanger uses cold water collected as condensate from the evaporator, the airflow to the evaporator being pre-cooled by passing through the air-to-air heat exchanger and the air-to-water heat exchanger prior to entry into the evaporator wherein the airflow is further cooled to below its dew point so as to condense moisture onto the evaporator for gravity collection. The evaporator is cooled by a closed refrigerant circuit.
