Patents by Inventor Norbert Böhmer

Norbert Böhmer has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20140159380
    Abstract: The invention relates to an energy converting device for energy systems (2) for convening mechanical energy into hydraulic energy and then into electric energy, said device using a control fluid (3) as the energy transporting medium. The control fluid is subjected to a variably changing pressure by at least one first converting device (5) that converts the mechanical energy into hydraulic energy. The energy converting device comprises at least one second subsequent convening device (7) that converts the hydraulic energy into electric energy. The invention is characterized in that the second convening device (7) is divided into a first control circuit (9) and a second control circuit (11), the two of which can be supplied with the control fluid (3) of variable pressure at the circuit input side (13) by the first convening device (7) and the two of which have predominantly different pressure levels.

  • Patent number: 8614522
    Abstract: An energy converting device, particularly for converting mechanical energy to hydraulic energy and from it into electrical energy, uses as an energy transport medium, a control fluid guided in two different control circuits. The control circuits have an operative connection to each other by a coupling device (32). One control circuit (28) serves for feeding in energy, particularly in the form of mechanical energy. The other control circuit serves for discharging energy in the form of converted energy, particularly electrical energy.
