摘要： A power panel designed to incorporate a means of both thermal energy production and electrical energy production from the solar energy produced by the sun. The power panel comprises: a synthetic molded enclosure comprising a solar radiation top surface, bottom surface and sidewalls; and a transparent panel disposed on said synthetic molded enclosure. The transparent panel is adapted to insulate the thermal energy captured by the liquid circulating in the enclosure. The enclosure includes a plurality of segmented partitions adapted to form liquid pathways for channeling a liquid through the enclosure when the transparent panel is disposed on the segmented partitions thereby forming a liquid boundary in proximate contact with the segmented partitions and with the liquid in said enclosure. The power panel can also generate electrical power by incorporating a solar panel disposed between the enclosure and the transparent panel, wherein the solar panel forms a liquid boundary for the liquid circulating in the synthetic enclosure.

摘要： A regulator for regulating outlet pressure of a fluid contained in a tank includes first and second pistons. The first piston is biased in a first direction and is movable against the bias when exposed to pressure in the tank. The second piston is biased in a second direction away from an end of the first piston, and the second piston is movable against the bias when exposed to the outlet pressure. The ends of the first and second pistons are separated by a first distance to allow the fluid to flow out of the tank, and the ends of the first and second pistons are positioned closer together than the first distance to inhibit flow out of the tank when the outlet pressure reaches a threshold.

摘要： An insulated storage tank incorporating modular panels includes a structural rigidity to store large volumes of hot and cold liquids. The insulated storage tank includes a plurality of insulating panels disposed on an insulation substrate in a circumferential pattern, the insulating panels each in proximate contact with two other panels forming a cylindrical wall. The insulating panels are a rigid structure and provide structural support to an inner liner disposed within the cylindrical wall and operable to be filled with a hot or cold liquid. The cylindrical wall of insulating panels is further supported by a thin outer support jacket. The insulated storage tank has a lid disposed on the insulating panels thereby sealing the contents of the insulated storage tank.

摘要： A power panel for generating thermal and electric energy from solar radiation, the power panel includes a synthetic molded enclosure having a solar radiation top surface, bottom surface, and sidewalls. A photovoltaic panel for generating electrical power includes multiple solar cells, each fixedly connected to a first face of a metal PV cell tray. The PV cell tray is positioned in contact with the synthetic molded enclosure top surface. The PV cell tray has a second face oppositely directed with respect to the first face in contact with a fluid flowing along the top surface. A transparent panel is positioned in direct contact with the synthetic molded enclosure side walls and spaced above the photovoltaic panel. The transparent panel insulates thermal energy contained within the enclosure.

摘要： An apparatus and method for converting a fuel injected internal combustion engine normally operated with a conventional fuel such as gasoline to operate with an alternative fuel are disclosed. The apparatus comprises an alternative fuel introduction assembly having at least one alternative fuel injector, a temperature sensor, and an electronic translator. The electronic translator is adapted to receive conventional fuel injector control signals generated by an electronic control module, and to receive an output signal from the temperature sensor. The electronic translator then calculates an alternative fuel injector control signal to facilitate the supply of a required energy amount of the alternative fuel. The calculation is based upon the energy content of the alternative fuel, the temperature of the alternative fuel, and the flow and operating characteristics of the alternative fuel injector relative to a conventional fuel injector. Preferably, the alternative fuel is natural gas.
