Patent number: 11217805Abstract: This invention relates to a point of use Hydrogen production unit for use with a Hydrogen fuel cell. The unit uses energy compression to produce a high energy pulse which reacts with the plasma of a gas filled flashlamp to produce a very high pulse of power which is discharged into the water via the surface of the flashlamp to activate the photocatalyst's surface and water interface to produce Hydrogen gas in a water tank or vessel having a gas filled flashlamp or a side emitting fiber optic array. The Hydrogen gas is fed to a storage container and thence to a fuel cell whom it is converted into power to drive vehicles, ships, airplanes, underwater vehicles, boats, etc.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2021Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Inventor: Richard W.

Patent number: 10745304Abstract: Internally activated energy distribution guides for use in clear to turbid liquids or air have been developed. An external energy source is transferred to a matrix or single fiber of a side emitting fiber or guide to internally activate a promoter or catalyst on the exterior of the fiber or guide to thereby dissociate target molecules passing by or along the fiber's or guide's surface by a Precise Energy Separation (“PES”) method. A number of different designs can be used, for example, in a mesh, louver system, or box. The method maximizes the interaction between the target molecules and the surface of the side emitting—internally activated distribution network. In a preferred embodiment, u-shaped fiber optics containing catalyst are positioned within tube through which the turbid liquid or air is passed, so that maximum cleavage of targeted bonds is obtained.Type: GrantFiled: January 21, 2018Date of Patent: August 18, 2020Inventor: Richard W.

Patent number: 10519051Abstract: A system has been developed to treat ballast water by selectively dissociating target molecules into component products compositionally distinct from the target molecule, wherein the bonds of the target molecule do not reform because the components are no longer reactive with each other. Dissociation is affected by treating the target molecule with light at a frequency and intensity, alone or in combination with a catalyst in an amount effective to selectively break bonds within the target molecule. Dissociation does not result in re-association into the target molecule by the reverse process, and does not produce component products which have a change in oxidation number or state incorporated oxygen or other additives because the process does not proceed via a typical reduction-oxidation mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2018Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Inventors: Richard W. Fahs, II, Matthew D. W. Fahs

Patent number: 5038715Abstract: An enclosed aquaculture system for growing fish comprises several successively interconnected container stages for holding growing fish. Each of the container stages has a size larger than the container stage preceding it, continuous interconnections between the container stages and a gate within the continuous interconnections controll the movement of the fish as the fish swim between the container stages. Fish of substantially the same size are maintained in each container stage as they are growing to prevent predatory destruction of smaller fish by larger fish and stress free transfer fo fish is provided as they swim form one container stage to another. In addition, methods for the continuous growing of fish in such an enclosed aquaculture system are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1989Date of Patent: August 13, 1991Inventor: Richard W.
