Robert Radke has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Systems and methods for providing cooling in compressed air storage power supply systems
    Publication number: 20060059936
    Abstract: A system and method for cooling electrical machines (e.g., generators), sub-systems (e.g., power electronics), and components (e.g., bearings) in an electrical generation system such as a compressed air storage (CAS) energy system or a thermal and compressed air storage (TACAS) energy system is provided. Cooling is derived from the thermal expansion of a compressed gas, which may be the same gas used to drive a turbine-generator of CAS or TACAS energy system.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 17, 2004
    Publication date: March 23, 2006
    Inventors: Robert Radke, Scott Logan, David Perkins, Joseph Pinkerton
