  • Patent number: 12292024
    Abstract: A system for capturing energy from waves in a body of water comprising: an artificial beach configured to remove water flowing backwards on the artificial beach; a plurality of guide walls each comprising wave actuators configured to convert wave energy to create compressed air; a top guide extending to cover a portion of the artificial beach and configured to create pressure; an air/water reservoir configured to receive high/pressure water flowing from a normally closed check valve in the top guide when the top guide stops the momentum of the waves; a vertical pipe with a bubbler stone configured to create air bubbles to raise water head and a supply of potential energy within a top water reservoir; and a plurality pipes each comprising a turbine generator configured to receive water leaving the top water reservoir to operate the turbine.

  • Publication number: 20240125296
    Abstract: This invention was created as an answer to extracting energy from wave power. Although many attempts were made over the centuries to accomplish this task effectively, none are close to the desired efficiency of other renewable energy sources. Much energy and time has gone into this design to make it able to cope with hurricanes and severe storms, and is described near the end of the detailed description portion. Because some parts of the device deal with new concepts, it's usually best to take one section at a time and get used to it, before moving onto the next part of the description. I believe I have finally created a method that will solve the problem of extracting substantial amounts of energy present in this resource.

  • Publication number: 20180216871
    Abstract: A condensate overflow handling apparatus having a condensate drain reservoir housing positioned at a first elevation. The reservoir housing has an inlet that is adapted to be fluidly connected to at least one drain pan of an air cooling appliance positioned at a second elevation above the reservoir housing. A fluid level sensor is mounted to the reservoir housing for sensing a fluid level within the reservoir housing which activates a pump to pump fluid from the reservoir housing through an exit conduit into a discharge assembly. The discharge assembly comprises at least one discharge hose and a stepped expansion fitting mounted to the at least one discharge hose.
