  • Patent number: 8899036
    Abstract: A wave power module and each of a plurality of the power modules convert energy from high energy waves and swells into usable power on an industrial scale. These modules are connected by piping to the consumer of the mechanical energy in the form of the high pressurized working fluid. A submerged immovable platform and a submerged movable platform connected to a float by outer and inner power flexible links with variable free lengths and compressible chambers installed between the immovable and movable platforms. The variable buoyancy force of the float is converted into driving force, which acts through the movable platform on the compressible chambers to discharge a flow of the high pressurized working fluid to the consumer. The stroke of the movable platform and compressible chambers is less than the height of waves or swells.

  • Patent number: 8474262
    Abstract: Advanced Tandem Organic Rankine Cycle (AT ORC) is described for recovering power from source of heat energy into two separated independent cycles with organic fluid of propane or mix of light hydrocarbons with similar thermal stability, namely the high temperature cycle realized in the high temperature closed loop thermally connected to the high temperature zone, and the low temperature cycle realized in the low temperature closed loop thermally connected to the low temperature zone of the source of heat energy. In the process of each cycle, organic fluid changes phases from pressurized liquid to pressurized superheated organic vapor using residual heat energy from depressurized superheated organic vapor, and heat energy from corresponding temperature zone. Separation of the source of heat energy on the high temperature zone and low temperature zone is implemented to maximize thermal and overall efficiency of recovering power in each cycle and of the overall AT ORC.

    Abstract: An ADVANCED HIGH ENERGY WAVE POWER MODULE and each of the plurality of ADVANCED HIGH ENERGY WAVE POWER MODULES for converting the energy from high energy waves and swells into usable power in industrial scale connected by pressure piping, or by pressure piping and discharge piping, to the consumer of the mechanical energy in form of the high pressurized flow of working fluid is described as the submerged immovable platform and the submerged movable platform connected to the float by outer power flexible link with variable free length and compressible chambers installed between the immovable and movable platforms. The variable buoyancy force from the float converting to the increased driving force, which is acted through the movable platform to the compressible chambers to discharge high pressurized working fluid from compressible chambers through the pressure pipeline to the consumer. The stroke of the movable platform and compressible chambers is less than a height of wave or swells.
