  • Publication number: 20110056198
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the capture of wasted heat energy from an internal combustion engine for conversion of water from a liquid state into a gaseous state, the resulting pressure of which being used to drive a steam-driven air compressor, before being directed to a radiator-type condenser for conversion of water from a gaseous state back into a liquid state for reuse. The compressed air from the said steam-driven air compressor is directed to the cylinder head(s) upon the engine the heat is derived from, via an automatic regulator, where air is directed into multiple cylinders of the said internal combustion engine to assist in the propulsion of the pistons within the said cylinders and to assist in the efficiency of ignition of fuel molecules, both attributes of which are in the interest of greater efficiency in fuel consumption of the vehicle the apparatus is situated in.

  • Publication number: 20100308598
    Abstract: A device that converts gravitational energy into electricity using the weight of a vehicle with a hydraulic turbine transmission that dissipates the acceleration into the generator while the vehicle drops at a fixed, constant speed, represented by Newton's 2nd Law of Motion; the resulting electrical power generated being used for utility use on the surrounding municipal power grid and the structure, a multiple story parking garage, it operates in. The turbine and generator are combined into one unit; the blades, which variate in pitch according to speed and torque are affixed to the field rotor of the generator, which acts as a flywheel and rotates around the armature rotor, which is rotated in the opposite direction by the fluid pump shaft, generating the electrical power. Hydraulic pressure comes from a fluid pump that is turned by cables with one end attached to a platform, the other end attached to slightly heavier counterweights.
