    Abstract: The invention disclosed herein relates to an improved method and apparatus for extracting useful energy from the superheated vapor of a working fluid by a vapor actuated power generating device. The apparatus utilized includes a high pressure vessel which receives a superheated vapor and contains one or more positive displacement piston and cylinder assemblies connected to a rotational output shaft with the top face of each piston directly connected to a larger piston and cylinder assembly which operates at lower pressure and is contained within one of the low pressure sections of the apparatus which also serves as the condenser. The low pressure piston is axially connected to an injector piston and cylinder assembly also located within the same low pressure section which transfers liquefied working fluid to heat absorption cells for acquiring sufficient heat to vaporize and superheat the working fluid for recycling.

    Abstract: A light weight self-cleaning safety flash system power generator is devised wherein: a plenum is formed enclosing a low pressurized combustion process, a light weight low pressure heat exchanger capable of safely receiving a fluid at low pressure for massive latent heat absorption; at nearly its boiling temperature this fluid is forced into the upper zone of the combustion process in at least a single safety high pressure tube for providing a safe high pressure heat exchanger formed as convolutions around the combustion zone always leading its fluid in a downward flow manner providing a cleaning and entraining action without leaving any pockets of sediment and always absorbing heat energy and finally reaching a throttle valve for flashing its energy as steam or gas pressure into its engine; the insignificant pollution passing harmlessly much as the carbon and ash pass through the internal combustion engine. A condensing system is provided for acquiring the combustion compounded condensate for recirculating through the system providing the self-cleaning action.

    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a steam engine suitably constructed to serve as a prime mover. The device includes a furnace in which a liquid can be heated so as to change its phase, the thus formed gas directed to an engine whereupon its expansion within piston/cylinder arrangements provides useful work. The exhausted steam, still endowed with extractable energy, is passed through various regenerative pump mechanisms and the like for very efficient utilization of much of the inherent energy.

    Abstract: A turbine, such as a steam turbine, which may be employed to drive an electric generator, is operated by movement through it of gas vaporized in a heat pipe. The turbine is enclosed in the heat pipe structure and the pipe is sealed so that the vaporizable fluid therein is not lost during use. The fluid is maintained at a desired pressure at which it is readily vaporized by heating means, such as heated air brought into contact with the heat pipe, and is also readily condensed by cooling means, such as ambient air. In modifications of the more basic invention an auxiliary heat pipe or a plurality of such pipes is employed to extract energy from a source of heat after it has heated the turbine-containing heat pipe and such auxiliary heat pipe(s) may also be used to pre-heat a heat transfer fluid. Turbines may be present in the auxiliary heat pipes too and they may be connected to the same or different generators. The generators may be enclosed in an insulating medium common to the heat pipe to prevent external heat losses and in a further modification of the invention, may be mounted inside the heat pipe with the turbine. Although the invention is primarily intended for efficient power production it may be adapted for use as an indicator of temperature differences by utilizing the flow of evaporated fluid, which is proportional to the temperature difference, to generate electricity, the voltage or current flow of which may be measured.

    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a cascaded recompression closed Brayton cycle (CRCBC) system and method of operation thereof, where the CRCBC system includes a compressor for compressing the system fluid, a separator for generating fluid feed streams for each of the system's turbines, and separate segments of a heater that heat the fluid feed streams to different feed temperatures for the system's turbines. Fluid exiting each turbine is used to preheat the fluid to the turbine. In an embodiment, the amount of heat extracted is determined by operational costs.
