  • Patent number: 8188613
    Abstract: An integrated turbine generator/motor (10) which consists of a housing (20) having a cylindrical body (22) and an eyebolt retaining plate (24) attached to the top surface of the cylindrical body (22). A ring gear (26) is rotatably disposed adjacent to the eyebolt retaining plate (24) and a plurality of turbine blades (28) are joined to turbine blade brackets (30) that are attached onto a peripheral edge of the ring gear (26). A plurality of pinion gears (32) rotatably interface with the ring gear (26) and a plurality of planetary gears (50) are connected beneath and are rotated by the pinion gears (32). When the generator/motor (10) functions as a generator (58) it includes a driven shaft (60) with a sun gear (62) attached, with the generator disposed within the housing. The sun gear (62) is rotated by the planetary gears (50) which create electrical energy from the generator by rotation of the ring gear (62).

  • Patent number: 7687959
    Abstract: A brushless a-c motor (BACM) (10) consisting of a non-conductive stator (12) and a rotor (44). The rotor (44) has an outer surface (50), a right surface (34) and a left intermediate surface (16) from where extends a protrusion (20) having a cavity (26) into which is inserted a motor support rod (38). The stator (12) includes a multiplicity of longitudinally extending wiring notches (36) and on the left intermediate surface (16) and the right surface (34) are wire attachment structures (18). Around and between the structures (18) and the notches (36) is wound a multiplicity of insulated wires (32) that terminate at an a-c power source (180). The rotor (44) has an inner surface (48) that has longitudinally attached a multiplicity of magnets (56) and is attached to a bearing (80) that is attached to the central protrusion (20). To operate the BACM (10), one end of a circular belt (98) is placed around the rotor (44) and the opposite end is inserted over a work piece.

  • Patent number: 7467449
    Abstract: A CNC drilling and milling machine comprised of a movable drill motor platform (20) with a laser reference point finder (30) in the form of a laser (34) that is attached to the machine adjacent a spindle (22). The reference point is aligned on the workpiece (26) with an identical reference located in a CNC computer (38). A workpiece holder (20) has two opposed bars (42) attached to a T-groove base of the drilling and milling machine, with each bar having a longitudinal notch (44) for holding the edges of a workpiece (26). A plate compression support and debris collecting member (62) collects debris and provides support for the workpiece (26). The entire platform is moved to drill or mill at predetermined computer selected positions, having the initial reference point (32) located with the calibrated laser beam.
