  • Patent number: 11760212
    Abstract: Systems and methods of generating, storing and/or distributing electric power are disclosed. The system may include two or more direct current supercapacitor subsystems, a direct current motor/alternating current generator combination, an electric power distribution network, and supercapacitor recharging elements. One supercapacitor subsystem may power an alternating current generator while the other supercapacitor subsystem charges using a portion of the generated power. Excess power may service other electric loads. The roles of the supercapacitor subsystems may be switched periodically between charging and powering, repeatedly.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5904882
    Abstract: A portable humidifier is provided including a container having a predetermined amount of water situated therein. Also included is a plate with at least one inlet vent and at least one outlet vent formed therein. The plate is removably situated over the container. The humidifier further includes a fan positioned adjacent the inlet vent for effecting the flow of air through the inlet vent, in communication with the water and subsequently through the outlet vent.
