    Abstract: A magnetic path closed electric generator includes a base (9), a housing (8), a stator (3), a rotator (5), a rotation shaft (7) and a transmission wheel. A magnetic permeability neck (12) is fixed on the stator; a coil winding (2) on the stator is fixed on the magnetic permeability bracket (1) and hitches outside a magnetic permeability neck; a low magnetic permeability medium (13) is disposed between the magnetic permeability bracket and the magnetic permeability neck. When the rotator rotates, a magnetic body (4) rotates along with it. The magnetic permeability neck is inducted to permeate magnetic and generate electric current with change of flux passing through the coil winding. A magnetic field generated by the electric current in the coil winding passes through the magnetic permeability bracket. The coil winding on the stator and the magnetic body on the rotator form a magnetic line closed loop in their own magnetic field. There is only small magnetic attracting force between the rotator and the stator.

  • Publication number: 20090193799
    Abstract: A Hydraulic Gravity Harvester is disclosed; having a plural of slip buckets, each slip bucket has a piston that works with a valve that is connected to the lower end of each piston; each slip bucket reciprocates vertically within a cylinder. When the valve is in the closed position and the slip bucket is on the down stroke, it creates a positive pressure in the cylinder pushing fluid up to a reservoir positioned high above the slip buckets. Each slip bucket on the down stroke is connected so that the opposite valve is in the open position and on the up stroke, so the weight of the fluid that has pushed this slip bucket down now rest on the bottom of the cylinder. This allows the slip bucket that is on the down stroke to turn a shaft creating a rotational torque.

    Abstract: A system for powering a vehicle includes a DC motor adapted to be coupled to a vehicle axle when the vehicle is to be driven in reverse or forward at a speed less than a threshold, and an AC motor adapted to be coupled to vehicle axle when it is to be driven forward at a speed exceeding the threshold. An AC generator adapted to be driven during motion of the vehicle generates an AC current for powering the AC motor when the AC generator is coupled thereto. An operator-controlled rheostat is used to control the speed of either the AC or DC motor. A switching system uncouples the AC generator from the AC motor and couples a battery to the DC motor through the rheostat when the vehicle is driven in reverse or forward at a speed less than the threshold. The switching system also serves to uncouple the battery from the DC motor and couple the AC generator to the AC motor through the rheostat when the vehicle is driven forward at a speed exceeding the threshold.

    Abstract: The present invention has incorporated a re-boosting pump to re-boost and to supply additional pressure energy input to a system periodically. The re-boosting pump gets its energy from a starting/re-boosting generator. This works to keep the level of the energy output sustainable. Another feature of the present invention is that it has incorporated a convergence recoil nozzle that utilizes a recoil force of the water jet. This recoil force which is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, will push a piston that is inside a pressure chamber. This force is capable of doing different kinds of works, such as a pressurized liquid to add energy input to the system through a pressure pipe into the main penstock or it can be used as a pressure energy for the desalination of saline water.

  • Publication number: 20090140525
    Abstract: A system and process for generating hydroelectric power within a body of water uses head pressure existing between two depths of the water. A vertically arranged conduit has an upper water intake and is in fluid communication with a reservoir situated at a lower depth. In a first cycle, water flow is established in the conduit between the water intake and lower reservoir when the reservoir is substantially full of air but at a hydrostatic pressure less than the hydrostatic pressure at the top of the water conduit. A turbine mounted adjacent the reservoir and at a lower depth than the water intake drives an electric generator. As water is introduced into the reservoir, air is scavenged by a compressor and used to drive water from a second reservoir. After the first reservoir is generally full of water, valves are provided to cease the flow of water through the water intake and flow of air out the exhaust tube.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a magnetic propulsion motor comprising a magnetic drive assembly comprising a drive magnet, a rotating hub, and a motion magnet attached to the rotating hub to rotate the motion magnet proximate to the magnetic drive assembly. A driving force is applied to the magnetic drive assembly, which causes the drive magnet to rotate to a position proximal to the motion magnet when the motion magnet is in a position proximate to the magnetic drive assembly. This arrangement exerts a repelling force on the motion magnet from the drive magnet as the motion magnet rotates away from the magnetic drive assembly. The rotation of the drive magnet also rotates the drive magnet to a position distal to the motion magnet as the motion magnet approaches the position proximate to the magnet drive assembly thereby minimizes the repelling force exerted on the motion magnet from the drive magnet as the motion magnet rotates towards the magnetic drive assembly.

Disposed within the top space is a compressible fluid separated by a flexible membrane from a column of water filling the bottom open end of the submerged member. Passing surface waves cause pressure variations at the bottom end of the member causing changes in the water column height and corresponding changes in the buoyancy of the member. The buoyancy changes induce vertical oscillations of the member relative to the float and known means are used for converting the relative movements of the float and submerged member to useful energy. Preferably, the float vertically oscillates in synchronization with the passing waves, and the vertical movements of the float increase the relative movements between the float and the submerged member.

  • Patent number: 5372474
    Abstract: An apparatus for gravity assisted rotational motion includes a frame and a axle supported on the frame. A plurality of hollow arms are rotatably supported on the axle. At the outer ends of each arm is mounted a hollow reservoir which can be selectively filled or emptied of a heavy, flowable material such as water. Heavy plates are slidably mounted on rods and alternately open or close the reservoirs depending on the location of the plate above or below the reservoir as the device rotates. The transfer of water from one side of the rotational device to the other as the device rotates minimizes the energy input necessary to rotate the device, creating an attractive and interesting attraction for miniature golf courses, circuses, county fairs, and other events.
