  • Publication number: 20210277819
    Abstract: The ability of the ignition piston engine is to use the disel technic of igniting the fuel air mixture by compression with out using an injector. The ignition piston engine can burn a leaner air fuel mixture than any other engine there by giving a cleaner exhaust and more economy. The ignition piston engine can burn any type of fuel that flows in air and is combustable by heat; like gasolene, diesel, propane, natural gas, and kerosene in any desired air fuel mix. And it can do it with out using a spark plug.

  • Patent number: 11021408
    Abstract: A nanoparticulate fertilizer is provided. The fertilizer may comprise water soluble nanoparticles having a contact area to total surface area ratio greater than 1:4. The nanoparticles may have an overall positive surface charge in water. The fertilizer may be suitable for application as a seed coat. Also provided is a method of applying a seed coat, and a method of fertilizing a plant.

  • Patent number: 10738586
    Abstract: A method for removing water from a coal seam gas well or shale gas well, the coal seam gas well or shale gas well including an outer casing into which coal seam gas and water flow near the lower region of the coal seam gas well, the method includes delivering pressurized methane into a lower region of the gas well, the pressurized methane acting to lift water from the lower region of the gas well, and cause it to flow upwards towards the surface. A system is also provided for removing water from a coal seam gas well or shale gas well. The method may be retro-fitted to existing CSG wells or shale gas wells.

  • Patent number: 10118866
    Abstract: Nanocrystalline compounds containing essential nutrients have been synthesized to have effective physical and chemical characteristics, including a high contact surface area/total surface area ratio that provides maximal leaf surface contact, limited mobility and improved solubility, a net positive charge, soluble salt-forming groups, and reactive surface edges for cation exchange to release nutrient cationic ions into the water film on leaf surfaces.

  • Patent number: 7263965
    Abstract: An engine with two crank shafts. One crank shaft stationary or secured to the block by conventional main bearings. The other crank shaft is referred to as the floating crank moves in a radius back and forth along one side of the stationary crank. The cranks drive each other by being geared together. A conventional piston and con rod are attached to the floating crank and drive the floating crank in both rotating and downward motions. Both of the motions rotate the stationary crank shaft. Each piston has its own floating crank shaft separate from the other pistons. The crank shafts rotate in opposite directions. The floating crank shaft operated in position by two radius rods connected between the two crank shafts, two rods from the floating crank shaft to the stabilizer rod and control rod. All of the four rods are pinned together where they meet. The other end of the control rod is connected to the stationary crank journal. The other end of the stabilizer rod is anchored in the engine block by a pivot pin.

  • Patent number: 5975043
    Abstract: An engine has a pair of a pair of parallel crankshafts having a cross shaft connected at one to a journal on one of the crankshafts. The cross shaft has a slot in which a distance compensator mounted on a journal of the other of the crankshafts oscillates. A piston connecting rod is attached to the cross shaft at an intermediate portion of the cross shaft. The crankshafts rotate in the same direction and at the same speed; however, the one of the crankshafts is advanced with respect to the other. The journals are located at different radiuses.
