摘要: A continuous power system provides a continuous supply of power to a load in the event that primary power fails or is degraded. The continuous power system includes an electrical machine, a turbine and a flywheel coupled to a shaft. When utility power is present, the machine operates as a motor to drive the shaft. During outages, the electrical machine operates as a generator to provide power to the load. Kinetic energy stored in the flywheel drives the shaft during initial power interruptions. During further short-term interruptions, a thermal energy supply (or thermal storage device) is used to provide vaporized liquid to the turbine so that the turbine drives the shaft. If the power loss or failure is extended, the turbine is driven by vapor produced by an evaporator heated from an external fuel supply. Numerous methods and apparatus are also described for reducing system losses and improving overall performance.

摘要: A tool and material restraining platform for pickup trucks, which utilizes steel extruded into convoluted channels as the bed of the platform. Self-locking hardware devices are inserted therein, to provide a secure base from where chain link is placed under tension to restrain tools and materials of simple or complex and difficult shapes. This results in more reliable restraining methods than strapping, stretch cords, and ropes and the like. Furthermore, the hardware devices, adapt easy to use add-on and take-off options such as a rigid conduit container. In addition, the sides of the platform are made of aluminum for displaying unique patterns, logos, and custom designs, to achieve an enhanced appearance for the truck, as custom wheels do. Also in addition, for models equipped for use with truck bed caps, tool and material cradles are installed in the interior of the cap, to the mounting bolts of the platform, to utilize normally wasted space directly adjacent to the ceiling of the cargo cap.

摘要: A geothermal energy transfer and utilization system extracts thermal energy stored in hot solute-bearing well water to generate super-heated steam from an injected flow of clean water; the super-heated steam is then used for driving a turbine-driven pump at the well bottom for pumping the hot solute-bearing water at high pressure and always in liquid state to the earth's surface, where it is used by transfer of its heat content to a closed-loop vapor generator-turbine-alternator combination for the generation of electrical or other power. Cooled, clean water is regenerated by the surface-located system for re-injection into the deep well and the residual concentrated solute-bearing water is pumped back into the earth. The invention features heat exchanger apparatus located adjacent the turbine-driven pump for permitting steam exhausted by the turbine to cool that part of the re-injected water used as a hydraulic bearing lubricant.
