  • Patent number: 9641048
    Abstract: A leverage generator apparatus for generating electricity from energy transferred from a one or more partially rotating levers each operating on one or more triangular weighted swivel devices that are propelled over a center point on the partially rotating lever by one or more piston switches and actuators and each supported by a triangular support structure operating as a fulcrum at a center-point of the one or more partially rotating levers, such that the energy transferred from the leverage generator turns a crankshaft linked to a generator device. A renewable energy vertical leverage generator apparatus generates electricity from energy transferred by one or more pairs of rotating triangular weight car harness structures travelling on a track system operating as a receptacle to capture weighted car devices such that the triangular weight car harness structures rotate three hundred sixty degrees to produce forces sufficient to turn an axel of a generator device.

  • Patent number: 8887752
    Abstract: A fuel staging system comprises a splitter valve arranged to split an input fuel stream into a pilot fuel stream and a main fuel stream, the splitter valve comprising a spool slidable within a bore, the spool and bore together defining first and second control chambers, the fluid pressures in which determine the position occupied by the spool, the system further comprising a control line which, in use, controls fuel delivery through a plurality of main burners, the fluid pressure in the control line being a combination of the fluid pressures in the first and second control chambers.

  • Patent number: 8739544
    Abstract: A staging valve arrangement is described that comprises an arrangement of electrically driven staging valves that are located, in use, in the high temperature core zone of an engine. Each staging valve may comprise a housing having an inlet, a pilot flow outlet and a mains flow outlet, a valve member movable between a closed position in which the mains flow outlet is closed and an open position in which the mains flow outlet is open, a motor operable to drive the valve member for movement, and a cooling arrangement.
