Abstract: A battery pack apparatus comprising a first cell bank and a laminated cooling plate. The first cell bank includes a first tray and at least one battery cell coupled to the tray. The laminated cooling plate being in contact with the first cell bank and including a plurality of face sheets and a plurality of internal sheets. The face sheets forming a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet. The plurality of internal sheets forming a plurality of fluid passages connecting the fluid inlet to the fluid outlet. The internal sheets further formed to include fluid pathways defining the fluid passages wherein none of the fluid pathways individually defining an uninterrupted flow path.

Abstract: A new use for and improvements to a device for generating electricity from a stationary source. The device is comprised of a special Improved Durability Engine; a generator; a special valve seat; a means of rotation eliminator; a series of process improvements; and a group of significant material improvements to several critical components wherein the improvements provide improved durability to a natural gas fueled engine. The configuration includes design features, process controls, dimensional controls and material enhancements that provide superior durability and equipment life for the conversion machines to transfer natural gas or the like to electrical power and thermal energy. The critical elements work together to support head life of 16,000+ hours.
