20150118053 | HIGH EFFICIENCY VERTICAL AXIS WIND TURBINE APPARATUS - A high efficiency vertical axis wind turbine apparatus for generating energy from wind power. The apparatus includes a generator in communication with a rotatable shaft, wherein the rotatable shaft is disposed along a central axis. A support bearing is coupled to the rotatable shaft for rotatably supporting the rotatable shaft. A plurality of substantially similar symmetrical wings is connected to and extends from the rotatable shaft wherein each wing provides an upper strut, a blade, and a lower strut. The upper strut has a substantially curvilinear configuration and is connected to the rotatable shaft and the blade. The blade has a substantially straight linear configuration substantially parallel to the central axis. The lower strut has a substantially curvilinear configuration and is connected to the rotatable shaft and the blade such that the wings are rotatably driven by wind so as to rotate the rotatable shaft and drive the generator. | 04-30-2015 |

20110027062 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED WIND CAPTURE - A system for improved fluid capture comprises a first vertical turbine. A first radial vane support module comprises a first vertical pole and a second vertical pole and is disposed adjacent to the first vertical turbine. The first radial vane support module comprises a first radial vane storage module coupled to the first vertical support pole and the second vertical support pole and the first radial vane storage module comprises a first motor and a first radial vane. The first radial vane comprises a first retractable panel. The first motor couples to the first radial vane and is configured to extend and retract the first radial vane. A first radial vane control module couples to the first motor and is configured to control the operation of the first motor. In one embodiment, a saucer vane module couples to the first vertical turbine. | 02-03-2011 |
20110031753 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR IMPROVED WATER BASED POWER GENERATION - The disclosed embodiments include a power generating system and method. The system includes a barge comprising a working platform and water support members. The barge provides an operating surface on a body of water, and the water support members define a water channel in the body of water. The system also includes an axle coupled to the barge and a turbine coupled to the axle such that the turbine can be lifted into and out of the water channel. The system configures the turbine to rotate on an axis of the axle in the water channel. Finally, the system includes a gearbox configured to transmit rotational energy of the axle to a generator to produce electricity and a lift coupled to the axle. The system configures the lift to variably raise and lower the turbine. | 02-10-2011 |
20110033291 | ENERGY TRANSFER SYSTEM - A system comprises an enclosure comprising an interior, a drive shaft opening, and a first auxiliary drive shaft opening. A drive gear is disposed within the enclosure. A first auxiliary gear is disposed within the enclosure. The enclosure aligns the drive gear and the first auxiliary gear such that the drive gear is configured to drive the first auxiliary gear. The drive gear couples to an end of a drive shaft. The first auxiliary gear couples to a first end of a first auxiliary drive shaft. The drive shaft extends from the interior through the drive shaft opening. The first auxiliary drive shaft extends from the interior through the first auxiliary drive shaft opening. | 02-10-2011 |

20090129383 | HUB AND SPOKE MULTICAST MODEL - Techniques for implementing multicast messaging between spokes in a hub and spoke network are provided in the present disclosure. Multicast messages may be efficiently routed by creating separate multicast groups for upstream traffic from a source spoke to the hub (a “To Hub” group joined by the hub) and downstream traffic from the hub to spokes (a “From Hub” group joined by spokes interested in receiving multicast messages). A source spoke may send a multicast message encapsulated in a packet with the “To Hub” group address as the destination. Upon receipt, the hub may re-route the multicast message to spokes that have joined the “From Hub” group by encapsulating the original message in a packet with the “From Hub” group address as the destination. | 05-21-2009 |
