A system of harvesting electrical power for use within a battery operated device includes a battery and a motor driven by the battery to impart rotational energy to a first shaft. The first shaft drives a multi-phase generator and produces output voltage signals with respectively untimed phase responses. A rectification circuit combines the voltage signals into a combined DC voltage output, and an inverter connected to the rectification circuit converts the DC voltage output to an AC voltage output. A battery charger connected to the inverter receives the AC voltage output for charging the battery. The harvested power includes power from voltage sources with unregulated, or untimed, phase responses.

A density engine includes an object movably positioned in a host liquid, the object having a density less than that of host liquid. An injector injects gas below the object creating a rising fluid region having a density less than that of the object. The object is not buoyant in the rising fluid region. An electrical generator is coupled to the object to generate electrical energy upon movement of the object. A biofuel production facility receives gas from the density engine and produces a biofuel through a biological process of a living organism that utilizes the gas. A consolidated energy production and storage system includes a gas sequestration facility, a density engine, and a biofuel production facility located together on a contiguous plot of land. Windmills and solar collectors may be located on the plot of land.

An air freshener with customizable fragrances is disclosed. The air freshener accepts a plurality of fragrance modules, which allow a user to create customized fragrant environments. A fan and/or heating element are included to increase fragrance dispersal. Additional components may be included into the air freshener to provide enhancements to the user experience, including but not limited to a clock, timer, or a music player. The air freshener obtains power from a number of sources, such as AC mains or DC batteries. Energy storage devices located on board the air freshener may be charged by inductive or solar power. The air freshener may also include lighting elements and styling cues to integrate into the local environment.

A three-dimensional planting construction comprises a three-dimensional framework (46), some water (5) and soil (4) for plants (22) to grow and some turnover shutters (16) for adjusting lighting in which water (5), soil (4) and the turnover shutters (16) are provided on the three-dimensional framework (46). The three-dimensional framework (46) made from concrete and wood is built around the building (10), other buildings or ground. Wind power generator sets (39) supply power to the planting construction. An overhead trolley (43) is installed on the three-dimensional framework (46) for working. The plants (22) are irrigated with a pump (37) from a well or waste water purified roughly.
摘要:
A tower segment erection tool having a frame with a first side, a second side showing in the opposite direction than the first side and a holding mechanism for holding the frame with its first side at the bottom of a tower segment to be erected. A first support element adjoins the frame's second side such that it is located substantially under a section of the tower segment's peripheral wall when the tool is attached to the tower segment to be erected. The first support element has a curved surface allowing a rolling motion of the tower segment erection tool A second support element adjoins the frame's second side and has a foot that is spaced from the curved surface of the first support element such that it is located substantially in the tower segment's centre axis and that it is further away from the tower segment's bottom in a direction parallel to the tower segment's centre axis than the curved surface when the tower segment erection tool is attached to the tower segment to be erected. The curvature of the first support element's curved surface is such that during erection of the tower segment the tower segment erection tool rolls about the curved surface until the foot of the second support element touches the ground.

A unique piece of engineering device “BT' Smart Machine” (BTSM) is described with the capability of lawn mowing, leave blowing/vacuuming, snow blowing, and general purpose blowing/vacuuming with other extra functionalities such as vehicle jump starter, heavy duty air compressor, vertical trolley, horizontal trolley, and outlets for AC and DC devices. BTSM' uniqueness lies in the fact that it can be run in manual (semi-automatic mode) or automatic mode (hands free mode). In manual mode (semi-automatic mode) BTSM anticipates and helps you along the way while in full-automatic mode BTSM does the work for you while you are home away from home or simply use that time to do something else and with a minimum of 10 to 12 hr uninhibited rechargeable battery life, BTSM has more than enough power to traverse your entire compound. In addition to all that, BTSM also runs off of solar energy which further maximizes battery life.
摘要:
A method for generating power is provided. The method including: providing a heat source with an output of radiation in a predetermined spectrum; generating a first portion of the power from the absorption of the radiation; and generating a second portion of the power from a temperature difference between a first element heated by the heat source and a second element at least partially thermally insulated from the first element.

A WEC system embodying the invention includes a column and shell, arranged to move relative to each other, and a lever-like apparatus having an input end and an output end and an intermediate point, between the two ends, the intermediate point being rotatably connected to the column. The input end is connected to the shell and moves at the same velocity and in the same direction as the shell. The output end moves in the opposite direction and at a rate which is a multiple of the shell velocity. The multiple being a function of the ratio of the length of the intermediate point to the output and input ends. In systems embodying the invention, one of two components (a PMA or an ICA) of a linear electric generator may be attached to the shell and the other of the two components may be attached to the output end of the lever-like apparatus to produce high relative velocity between the two components resulting in higher amplitude and higher frequency output voltages.
