  • Publication number: 20220074373
    Abstract: A system for sustainable generation of energy, comprising at least one device for converting natural power into useful energy, and at least one internal combustion engine or heat engine. The internal combustion engine or heat engine may be connected to a gas cleaning device for fuel or heat supply. A method for sustainable generation of energy, comprising the steps of generating a first amount of useful energy by converting natural power; and generating a second amount of energy by operating at least one internal combustion engine or heat engine, wherein the internal combustion engine or heat engine is driven by fuel or heat derived from cleaning a waste gas.

  • Patent number: 8574345
    Abstract: This invention provides a method for the removal of smut, fine dust and exhaust gas particles from polluted air including providing a particle catch arrangement with a charged surface, the particle catch arrangement being arranged to generate a static electric field, wherein the electric field is at least 0.2 kV/m. The invention further provides a particle catch arrangement including a surface that can be charged, further including a generator arranged to generate charge to the surface that can be charged and to generate a static electric field of at least 0.2 kV/m, wherein the particle catch arrangement is part of or integrated with an object including street furniture.

  • Patent number: 8425657
    Abstract: A method, and an apparatus to reduce and remove liquid droplets in air, such as fog, mist, haze, spray or steam. The mist and/or air borne water or other liquid droplets catching and collection apparatus creates an “electric wind”, especially enforced by charged needle points or line arranged constructions and/or wires of the first electrode and an electric charging of mist and/or air borne water or other liquid droplets, which will be directed by the “electric wind” and the electric field between the electric source and the opposite grounded or opposite charged counter electrode (second electrode) of fine gauze or something comparable.
