Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110037261System And Method For Producing Electrical Power - The disclosed technology is an electrical power system that includes a turbine, a turbine housing, an incoming channel and a generator. The turbine has at least two turbine blades and the turbine housing has at least two openings. The incoming channel directs and amplifies a flow of a working fluid at one of the openings in the turbine housing and the incoming channel is mounted in such a way that the flow of the working fluid strikes an upper portion of turbine blades. This configuration allows the turbine to rotate which in turn allows the generator to produce electrical power.02-17-2011

20120070583FLAME SIMULATING ASSEMBLY - A method of forming a simulated combustible fuel element for simulating a semi-burned combustible fuel element, including, first, covering a surface of the semi-burned combustible fuel element with a material selected to produce a resiliently flexible mold, and second, after the selected material has set, removing the semi-burned combustible fuel element from the mold. Next, a predetermined amount of liquefied body material is introduced into the mold, and a body is produced resembling the semi-burned combustible fuel element with one or more cavities therein and an exterior surface simulating the surface of the semi-burned combustible fuel element, the body including one or more light passages. After the body material is cured, the mold is removed from the body.03-22-2012
