Abstract: In various embodiments, a system and method are provided for storing a liquid mixed refrigerant (MR) separated and stored as Low boiling point (LBP) and high boiling point (HBP) components. These storage components are later used in conjunction with heating and/or cooling sources in effecting the operation of a Rankine cycle to generate electric or mechanical power on a dispatch or when needed basis. The MR is reconstituted by combining the LBP and HBP. In a cycle, the LBP and HBP are later separated from the MR utilizing sporadically available energy sources (for example, solar, wind, hydro, etc.) or consistently available sources (for example geothermal).

Abstract: An ALBERT Process (Accumulation of Latent BTU's & Electricity for Retention & Transfer) is described in various forms, and systems are described for performing the process. In various embodiments, a system and method are provided for storing a liquid mixed refrigerant (MR) separated and stored as Low boiling point (LBP) and high boiling point (HBP) components. These storage components are later used in conjunction with heating and/or cooling sources in effecting the operation of a Rankine cycle to generate electric or mechanical power on a dispatch or when needed basis. The MR is reconstituted by combining the LBP and HBP. In a cycle, the LBP and HBP are later separated from the MR utilizing sporadically available energy sources (for example, solar, wind, hydro, etc.) or consistently available sources (for example geothermal).

Abstract: A swing device and method of swinging a swing, by the person in the swing, including an arrangement adapted to transmit a downward arm force, from the person swinging to a forward and backward swinging motion. The device includes at least two hanging handles, length adjustable and guided which at its end has a means to grip by handle. Pulling on either handle at alternate times will deliver force to a force translation apparatus, which will redirect the energy from the handles into forces on the upper portion of the swing chains to pull the swing forward and backwards.
