摘要: Positive deep ocean pressure acts as force upon a containment being the negative pressure area for which water may first enter under force. The containment and apparatuses which allow energy production to occur are lowered to a specific depth within a body of water from a floating platform (Ref 40) or water vessel, then anchored by the systems own weight that may be between 30,000 and 40,000 pounds, or less when used in conjunction with water ejectors. The energy system may be hung at a specific depth within the body of water and will make continuous energy for use as electricity by; 1) utilizing the naturally occurring pressure at various water body depths, 2) applying the pressure through electrical generating devices, 3) provide for an internal pipe pathway and expandable water bladder or solid pressure tank that maintains a specific pressure necessary to return the water to the body of water after overcoming the naturally occurring pressure due to the ocean depth, 4) Ensure all Marine Mammals are Protected, 5) Embody a series of subsea cables (Ref 41) Several alternative primary modes are described beyond FIG. 1, by FIG. 2, FIG. 3, and FIG. 4. FIG. 2 provides for a combined intakes which increase volume and pressure before allowing velocity to return water flow to the water body, while FIG. 3 embodies water ejector pressure (Ref 38) to increase water velocity to return water to the water body. FIG. 4 embodies a similar process as FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, but also includes gravitational force to make additional energy before returning water to the water body. The conservation of fluid flow states; inflow always equals outflow (Ref 39).

摘要: A system includes a pressure exchanger (PX) configured to receive a first fluid at a first pressure and a second fluid at a second pressure and exchange pressure between the first fluid and the second fluid. The system further includes a condenser configured to provide corresponding thermal energy from the first fluid to a corresponding environment. The system further includes a first ejector to receive a first gas and increase pressure of the first gas to form the second fluid at the second pressure. The first ejector is further to provide the second fluid at the second pressure to the PX.

摘要: Systems and methods for generating and a controller for controlling generation of geothermal power in an organic Rankine cycle (ORC) operation in the vicinity of a wellhead during hydrocarbon production to thereby supply electrical power to one or more of in-field operational equipment, a grid power structure, and an energy storage device. In an embodiment, during hydrocarbon production, a temperature of a flow of wellhead fluid from the wellhead or working fluid may be determined. If the temperature is above a vaporous phase change threshold of the working fluid, heat exchanger valves may be opened to divert flow of wellhead fluid to heat exchangers to facilitate heat transfer from the flow of wellhead fluid to working fluid through the heat exchangers, thereby to cause the working fluid to change from a liquid to vapor, the vapor to cause a generator to generate electrical power via rotation of an expander.

摘要: A magnetic motor apparatus provides increased mechanical output. The apparatus includes a propulsion unit positioned in a guide sleeve adjacent a stabilizer section. A stabilizer section frame houses a drive gear and gearbox positioned on opposite interior surfaces of the frame. The gear and gearbox receive mechanical input from a drive shaft rotationally disposed in the gear and gearboxes. The mechanical input is then transferred to first and second threaded gears of the propulsion unit. Each of the first and second threaded gears are affixed to a respective one of a first and second translatable cylinder. Sets of magnets each impregnated on faces of the first and second translatable cylinders are disposed facing one another. Rotation of the drive shaft provides a mechanical input to the first and second translatable cylinders that are configured to actuate continuous propulsion from the interactions of the magnets while travelling along a threaded shaft.

摘要: A light turbine, turbine, and turbine housing are described, in which the turbine housing can include a main housing and a chimney. The main housing and chimney define a circular path within which vanes located on the ends of spokes can move. Movement of the vanes can cause rotation of a shaft attached to the spokes. The chimney can be removably attached to the main housing to allow access to the vanes, which can be removably attached to the spokes. The turbine housing and turbine can be configured such that various compositions and/or configurations of vanes can be evaluated in conjunction with one or more forms of energy sources, such as an electromagnetic radiation source. The turbine housing can enable selective evaluation within ambient air, a partial vacuum, and/or the like.

摘要: A vehicle incorporates a gravity-assist energy harvesting suspension system including one or more gravitational positive displacement pumps. The positive displacement pump has a cylinder and a reciprocating piston inside the cylinder. The piston is adapted for movement along a compression stroke and an opposite extension stroke in response to a gravitational bounce of the vehicle when in motion. A turbine comprising a rotor shaft and attached blades is mounted relative to a distal end of a fluid outlet hose connected to the pump. Fluid discharged through the outlet hose acts on the blades, thereby moving and imparting rotational energy to the rotor shaft. A generator is operatively connected to the turbine, and is adapted for converting the rotational energy generated by the rotor shaft to electrical energy.

摘要: A power generation process is disclosed, the process comprises dissolving a solute (10) into an unsaturated stream (140) to produce a high concentration stream (130) and converting latent mixing energy present in a high concentration input stream (130) into power by passage through a power unit (20) in which the concentration of the high concentration input stream (130) is reduced. The process comprises using a reduced concentration output stream (140) derived from the high concentration input stream (130) following passage through the power unit (20) as the unsaturated stream (140). A first fraction of the high concentration stream (130) is passed to the power unit (20) for use as the high concentration input stream (130) and a second fraction of the high concentration stream (130) is output from the process.
