Abstract: The components in this application utilize advanced ceramics, which are homogeneous rather than crystalline. This feature allows strong, fine detail parts of great definition, that remain stable and have extraordinary wear resistant characteristics. The Porcupine Pin is a solid-bodied extrusion from a surface through a surface or tangent to a surface. The homogeneous features give extreme durability and equalized flow characteristics. The porcupine pin may be created in other shapes, where within it is embedded ferrite material to form a part that is an electromagnet sensitive or magnetically stable, while exhibiting excellent sliding ability and a precision of detail. These features also allow exceptional miniaturization of magnetically active parts called a Cerfite.

Abstract: My invention relates to heat engines. It has the following objectives: 1) Efficient conversion of any source of heat into useful mechanical power. 2) A novel proportional control valve system based on rotary refrigerant valves controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC). This proportional valve system allows rapid response to any output power requirement. The PLC adjusts between energy supply and load requirements almost instantly. This also permits a servo mode implementation. 3) Uncontrolled runaway operation is impossible. Under adverse conditions, the system automatically de-powers. System integrity shall be maintained under all fault conditions unless an external force destroys the invention. 4) Internal heat storage inside the invention permits a slow rate of change for energy input. 5) The implementation of this invention provides for ease of construction from prototype to production of any size or scale.
