A micro-power generator is integrated in a pneumatic valve controller, such that the micro-power generator is powered by the same compressed air supply used to operate the valve. The micro-power generator includes a micro-turbine connected to a DC power generator, and a source of compressed air is used to drive the micro-turbine to generate power via the generator. The system may include a valve controller pneumatically connected to the compressed air supply. The valve controller may include electronics for displaying a condition of the controller. The system can include an electronic field device in communication with the valve controller for displaying a condition of the valve controller. The micro-turbine generator can be electrically connected to the field device to provide power to the electronic field device. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.

A device for controlling fluid flow. The device includes an arc generator coupled to electrodes. The electrodes are placed adjacent a fluid flowpath such that upon being energized by the arc generator, an arc filament plasma adjacent the electrodes is formed. In turn, this plasma forms a localized high temperature, high pressure perturbation in the adjacent fluid flowpath. The perturbations can be arranged to produce vortices, such as streamwise vortices, in the flowing fluid to control mixing and noise in such flows. The electrodes can further be arranged within a conduit configured to contain the flowing fluid such that when energized in a particular frequency and sequence, can excite flow instabilities in the flowing fluid. The placement of the electrodes is such that they are unobtrusive relative to the fluid flowpath being controlled.

A pulser providing pressure based accoustic telemetry in a fluid column includes a formed turbine and valve wheel moveable as one unit, an aft turbine configured to drive the valve wheel and a brake to inhibit movement of the aft turbine. During periods when the aft turbine is slowed relative to the formed turbine and valve wheel, the aft turbine blocks misalign with blades of the valve wheel inhibiting fluid flow therepast. A pressure buildup is caused hereby until the brake is released allowing the aft turbine blades to realign with the valve wheel by resuming speed rotation thereby terminating pressure buildup.

An apparatus and method including a closed-circuit coolable airfoil assembly for use and exposure in a hot fluid flow of a machine portion. The assembly includes a first flange configured to be connected with a casing of the machine portion. A second flange is configured to be connected with the casing. An airfoil is connected with and between the first flange and the second flange, the airfoil including a peripheral portion surrounding a medial portion. At least one channel is disposed in the peripheral portion, the channel extending between the first flange and the second flange and being in flow communication with each. A closed flow path is formed from the casing and through the first flange, the second flange and the channel in which a coolant fluid can pass to cool the airfoil assembly.

This invention relates to an artificial reef to be anchored to the seabed, basically comprised of two or more juxtaposed conduits (1) and (2) which are positioned in parallel with the direction of waves propagation, both conduits being provided with directrices (3) and (6), the upper conduit having directrices (3) which drive the flow of the wave's crest (4) converging to the entries (5), the lower conduit also having directrices (6) which drive the water diverging from the exits (8) in the area under the wave's trough (7), all of these apertures being provided with flexible filters made from fabric, which will smoothly control the abrupt reflux of flow. The said conduits are hydraulically connected, each connection comprising a shut-down valve associated to a useful energy-generating unit (9).In case the main components of the device shall not be in direct contact with seawater, the device also comprises pads (11), (12) and (13), which are made from a thin flexible material, such as rubber, and cover all the existing entries (5) and exits (8) in the said conduits, each pad being simultaneously connected to entries and exits in the same vertical line of the same segment of the device, with the conduits and pads being internally filled with a fixed amount of fluid which thus remains fully isolated from the seawater.
