    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for removing heat from closed-cycle thermodynamic engines that generate electrical energy through a reciprocating piston operated by thermal expansion. The present invention includes a heat exchange mechanism for a closed-cycle thermodynamic engine that exchanges hot working fluid and cold fluid at different points in a heat cycle thereby increasing efficiency of the closed-cycle thermodynamic engine. The heat exchange mechanism allows the engine to remove heat faster from the working fluid and therefore lowers the low temperature of the thermodynamic cycle resulting in better efficiency. The heat exchange mechanism also allows the engine to operate at a faster cycle frequency.

    Abstract: In a steam motor with a piston engine, the piston engine is included in a closed steam circuit. This steam circuit includes a steam generator, a steam injector for injecting steam into the piston engine, a condenser for condensing the steam emerging from the piston engine to condensed water, and a water feeding pump for feeding the condensed water to the steam generator. The steam generator is heated by hot combustion gas from a combustion unit. The combustion unit burns fuel. The fuel is mixed with fresh air supplied by an air feeding device through a fresh air passage. The fresh air passage usually contains a first heat exchanger for pre-heating the fresh air by heat from the expanded steam emerging from the piston engine, and a second heat exchanger for pre-heating the fresh air by heat from hot waste gas emerging from the steam generator. In order to provide a particularly compact steam motor without adversely affecting the efficiency, a rotary piston engine is used as piston engine.

    Abstract: This invention is directed to an engine having an external combustion chamber for creating a vapor under high pressure. The vapor under high pressure is introduced to a high pressure cylinder for moving a high pressure piston. The vapor, upon leaving the high pressure cylinder, flows to a low pressure cylinder for moving a low pressure piston. The pistons are attached by connecting rods to a swash plate. The pistons move in a rectilinear movement. The swash plate converts the rectilinear movement to a rotary movement for a rotary output crankshaft. The external combustion chamber can be fueled by air and also by a solid, liquid, or vapor. The solid can be powdered coal. The liquid can be hydro-carbons or an organic material. The vapor can be one of many such as a product of combustion of hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen and oxygen can be burned to produce a high temperature and high pressure steam. The introduction of high pressure vapor into the cylinders and running of the engine is self-timing due to the metering system for metering a liquid such as water to be turned into vapor or hydrogen and oxygen into the pressure chamber for burning and conversion into water. A set amount of liquid or hydrogen and oxygen are introduced and made into steam to be introduced into the high pressure cylinder. There is an introduction of combustible material and vapor which is then released to the high pressure cylinder and this process continues. The metering system is mechanical and self-regulatory. One of the main advantages of this invention is that there are few moving parts and a simple control system for controlling the speed of operation of the engine.

    Abstract: An improved double-acting, nonexpansion, noncondensing, piston steam engine. A coiled tube flash boiler enclosed in an insulated fire chamber is located above and contiguous with the cylinder head of the steam engine. The base of the fire chamber has a cylindrical opening to enable the heat from the flames in the fire chamber to be transferred directly to the top cylinder head for enhanced heat transfer to the cylinder. Two parallel crank shafts, each having a spur gear fixed thereon which meshes with the spur gear fixed on the other, are mounted on pillow block support bearings. A "T" linkage interconnects the crank shafts and the piston of the steam engine. Two rotary valves are provided to control the flow of high temperature steam and spent steam to and from the cylinder.

    Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for improved hydrogen manufacture, processing, and shipping using solar derived power. A system for manufacturing hydrogen gas uses a solar power generator, an electrolyzer powered by the solar power generator, a gas separator for separating gases generated by the electrolyzer, such as oxygen and hydrogen, and a gas compressor for compressing the gases for transport and later use. The solar power generator may be one or more PV arrays and may further be at least one earth mount PV assembly. The PV assemblies may connect in parallel or in series. The electrolyzer comprises at least two distributed electrolyzer stacks. A system for manufacturing hydrogen and using the hydrogen gas may use a solar power generator, an oxyhydrogen electrolyzer powered by the solar power generator, and an oxyhydrogen boiler that generates steam for generating electrical power.

The power generator comprises a vessel provided with a heat exchanging unit for alternatingly heating and cooling an organic based working fluid contained in the interior of the vessel during operation of the power generator. Further, the power generator comprises a mechanical unit associated with the vessel and provided with a reciprocating moving element that moves responsive to the heating and cooling process. The heat exchanging unit is arranged for heating the working fluid from below an evaporation temperature and for cooling the working fluid from above the evaporation temperature. Further, the power generator comprises a pressure transferring structure for transferring a pressure exerted by gas in the vessel towards the mechanical unit for driving the reciprocating moving element.

    Abstract: Transforming any heat sources to electric power, comprising a closed-cycle charged refrigerant loop. Low-pressure refrigerant fluid is pumped at 10 to 15 degrees F. higher of the ambient temperature through a heat exchanger heated by the heat of the gas outlet from the expander then to the boiler (heat exchanger) to boil the refrigerant liquid into a high-pressure and high temperature superheated by a few deg. F. gas (depending on the kind of refrigerant). Heated/pressurized refrigerant gas is inlet into an expander to power an output shaft during the expansion of the pressurized to a cooled gas. Cooled gaseous refrigerant with still high temperature is inlet to small heat exchanger to heat up the pumped liquid refrigerant before inlet to the boiler. The lowered temperature gas is condensed in condenser to liquid at low pressure and 10 to 15 degrees F. higher of ambient temperature media, and recycled by a pump to the heat exchangers. The refrigerant gas mass flow pressure drop spins the expander shaft for direct mechanical power take-off, or coupling to a synchronous or inductive generator to produce electricity. The electricity can be used locally, stored or fed to the grid.
