Patents by Inventor Thomas Earl Clark

Thomas Earl Clark 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).

  • Patent number: 11022152
    Abstract: The present application is directed to a system for converting linear motion to rotary motion. The system includes at least first and second cylinders. The first and second cylinders are in fluid communication with each other. The system also includes a first piston. The first piston is slidably disposed in the first cylinder. The system further includes a second piston. The second piston is slidably disposed in the second cylinder. The first and second cylinders contain an incompressible fluid. The first piston is in operative connection with the second piston such that movement of the first piston in a first direction causes movement of the second piston in a second direction, wherein the second direction is opposite the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20100219708
    Abstract: An energy module utilizing permanent magnets arranged on a moveable inner shaft (33) which interact with an arrangement of permanent magnets on a rotating outer shaft (32) thereby producing torque. By moving the inner shaft (33) in and out of the rotating outer shaft (32) magnets, a continuous rotation is achieved which is similar in function to an electric motor while mainly using the power of permanent magnets. A magnetic energy advantage is created since the power to move the moveable inner shaft (33) is less than the power output of the torque generated on the rotating outer shaft (32).
