  • Publication number: 20240109077
    Abstract: A carbon capture system using an efficient method of capturing carbon dioxide is disclosed herein. The carbon capture system described is scalable in shape and size and can be adjusted to achieve different volumes of airflow. This method is efficient due to the maximum surface area to volume ratio achievable in a carbon capture system with the distribution of equally or randomly spaced spray nozzles configured to inject electrically charged carbon capture fluid throughout the interior of the system. The fluid interacts and then combines with air and as a result, large amounts of carbon dioxide are captured within the system. The finer the particulate of carbon capture fluid, the larger the volume ratio which results in an efficient carbon capture system.

  • Patent number: 11788650
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a bi-directional conduit system including a core configured to traverse a container wall and having independent, substantially parallel lumens and a fitting fluidly connected to each lumen on each side of the wall. In an illustrative example, the conduit system may include at least one valve configured to selectively restrict fluid flow in at least one lumen. The core may be flexible. A coupling assembly may be configured to releasably couple the core to the wall. Apparatus and methods further relate to a system including a base module with a control input and a fluid transport system including an impeller powered by the base module to convey fluid via a conduit in response to the control input, wherein in a stowage mode, the base module is configured to store the conduit and to mechanically support, releasably coupled, the impeller to the base module.

  • Publication number: 20230270095
    Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to an environmental control system including a fluid driver configured to releasably couple to a buoyant module. In an illustrative example, in a deployment mode, the fluid driver may be brought into register with and releasably coupled to the buoyant module. The fluid driver, for example, be supported by the buoyant module in a body of water. A control unit may, for example, selectively provide energy to the fluid driver such that the fluid driver induces fluid to flow from the body of fluid to a reservoir by a conduit. The control unit may be configured to mechanically support the fluid driver in a stowage mode. Various embodiments may advantageously allow a user to selectively deploy a livewell environment control from a stowed mode into a deployed mode.
