20100033015 | Unitized Electric Generator and Storage System - Combined Hydro Turbine and Solar Powered Electrical Storage System - A unitized electrical generating and storage system is herein described that combines up to three sources, hydroelectric, solar and wind, of that can produce electric power. This invention encompasses an enclosed housing structure that securely and efficiently integrates multiple power generating technologies and electrical storage capacity into a single platform assembly or unit that is easy to install and implement. It can be applied to a variety of applications and locations where conventional utility power or a single renewable energy source can not be reasonably incorporated. This invention is designed to address the electrical needs of remote sites or locations where other power supply facilities or means are non-existent or difficult to impossible to implement and creates more aesthetic power generating equipment to sites along highways, roads, parks, golf courses, rivers, lakes and reservoirs. It also provides an ecological alternative to other less environmentally friendly power generating or supply options. | 02-11-2010 |
20090178462 | Method for creating a Low Fluid Pressure Differential Electrical Generating System - This invention involves a method of creating a hydroelectric turbine system that is capable of producing electricity while sustaining a majority of the fluid flow or hydraulic pressure within the pipe line or pipe network driving the system. The system's objective is to shave as little pressure as possible from an enclosed pipe system that requires pressure to operate and function properly. More particularly, this invention relates to a hydroelectric turbine generator system wherein the system is specially designed and configured with an unique impeller and fluted turbine housing that enable a generator device to produce a particular amount of electric current and voltage, while yet minimizing flow restriction and pressure loss to the fluid pressure driving the system. Application of this technology includes all fluid flow or fluid transfer systems that require sustained pressure to move fluids like water or other materials from one location or point to another, through pipes, pipe systems or networks, regardless of distance or pipe size diameters. This invention, for example will be ideally suited for powering electronic control or monitoring systems in landscapes, parks, roadway easements, golf courses or public water transfer systems or other remote sites that may require power. Utilization of this invention provides an ecological and reliable energy production source, usually on a small scale, in remote locations where incorporating other forms of power supply may be less practical, impractical or impossible. | 07-16-2009 |
