  • Patent number: 8206113
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and apparatus for gradually converting marine wave energy into electricity. The energy reserve provided by wind power holds enough energy for the needs of the entire mankind. The invention provides an efficient means of putting this energy reserve to practical use. Mounted on a rotating power shaft is a pair of form parts, the convex and concave shape, especially the round-pointed open V-shape of which reverses its orientation by 180 degrees, i.e. turns from convex to concave, whenever the power shaft makes a rotation of 180 degrees. The circular motion of water occurring in a wave drives such a turbine effectively while the wave dies out. The pair of convex and concave form parts extends helically around the power shaft, whereby water currents in all directions, which come to contact with the pair of form parts, produce a rotative moment.

  • Patent number: 5380123
    Abstract: A method for building a road bed by providing a plurality of vaulted structures located at a road bed site. A first layer of concrete is applied on the structures for reinforcing the structures. The structures can be comprised of a profiled steel plate or a sheet metal mesh. They may have reinforcement braces comprised of troughs or corrugations provided on an outer surface of the structures which receive the first layer of concrete. The first layer of concrete is allowed to set before a second layer of concrete is applied to the structures and to the first layer to form a concrete casing.
