Landin Engine
THE LANDIN ENGINE
Invented by Peter Landin. It has only three moving parts, and may be the engine of the future. The moving parts: a rotor (in blue), an orbital swivel valve (in red), and a stationary swivel valve (in yellow), form a variable combustion chamber. As this chamber increases its capacity, it generates a vacuum and suctions a mass of air through the intake check valve. Direct injected fuel mixes with this air mass to form a combustible atmosphere. When ignited, the combustion closes the intake check valve instantaneously and forces the orbital swivel valve and rotor to ...

This device surpasses in potential and efficiency existing renewable energy technology, and is more economical. The innovative geometrical arrangement of the magnets within the technology generates more power and greater efficiency at ...
Leaf Board
Every year millions of people rake their yards each fall; and when finished have piles and piles of leaves that they send to a landfil or that they burn. This is wastefull and unhealthy if burned. My solution is to use the unwanted leaves as a building material. This could be done the same way as they do when particle board or oriented strand board is made. First the leaves would be collected (free material!) and brought to a processing plant where they would be unloaded onto a large conveyor, dried; then shaken to orient them to a uniform ...
Magnetic Repulsion Piston Engine (MRPE)
This invention pertains to the Automotive Engineering and Green Technologies.
Today, oil accounts for 96% of the fuel that powers our country's vehicular fleets. The old polluting conventional internal combustion piston engines in our cars work by burning gas and creating an explosion that forces the pistons down, consequently, emitting over a billion tons of Co2 into our atmosphere. Recently, the Environmental Protection Agency declared carbon dioxide emissions a health hazard. That is why it is essential we find solutions to the noise, pollution, and health hazard caused by the conventional internal combustion piston engine.To that end, I have ...

Power Subsystem for Future Spacecraft
Sunnyvale, California United States
Jun 30, 2011
An innovative hybrid power system combining nuclear and solar energy sources has the potential for providing sustainable power to future small spacecraft such as satellite servicing vehicles. The specific form of nuclear energy involves a Multi Mission Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generator (also known as an MMTRG shown in blue on the diagram) which safely administers the heat released from radioactive decay and converts it to electrical power using thermocouples. The three solar panels (seen in yellow) have the ability to rotate out of the system and follow light as it orbits the Earth for maximum intake of the sun’s energy.
...An Air Conditioner = A Mini Power Plant
Of a city’s total electricity consumption, more than 25% of the power is just consumed by the very basic need for air conditioning – to keep the temperature inside offices, homes, malls, shopping complexes, hypermarkets, cinema halls, factory complexes – at an ambient temperature for comfortable working, living and leisure.
MY INVENTION makes it possible to generate a self-perpetuating source of electrical power from an everyday appliance – the AIR CONDITIONER – a power-guzzler found in almost every household and every office and factory, in 80% of the parts of the world – and turn it into a POWER ...
Greenerator - The Green Residential Generator
Sunny Isles Beach, FL United States
Apr 15, 2011
Some lucky people live in private homes, which gives them the option to install solar panels and wind turbines in their gardens and rooftops. But what about the majority of the people on the planet that reside in apartment buildings and don’t own their own roof or backyard? The Greenerator gives a clever solution to that problem.
It is a compact solar and wind turbine that can be installed right on an apartment balcony. It looks a lot like an aerodynamic wind chime. It is equipped with a vertical axis wind turbine, which captures wind from all directions with ...
Theoretical Electric Field Engine
This design idea started with the studying of the basic principle of the electrostatic engine developed by Benjamin Franklin and Andrew Gordon, which works by the attraction forces existing between electrical charges of different sign. Also, the study and development of this design idea has been based on theories like Ohm law, Faraday law, Coulomb law, Gauss Law and among others physic fundaments to reach good and promising theoretical results.
The theoretical electrostatic engine (figure 1), works with conductive elements electrically charged with the same or different electrical sign. The innovating issue is that those elements must have an ...

The Combined Aero-Hydro-Turbine and Propeller
The combined turbine is in 3 times more effective than the already existing. This effect is reached by that, between vertical blades of the turbine horizontal propellers are located (free or rigidly), which force air into the space between blades. Between these propellers in the center of the turbine is located a turbodetander.
The raised pressure inside the turbine presses on the detander and all blades equally and forces them to rotate. Thus work is made with all blades.
Different variants of this turbine are possible:
1. The "half" version presented in the figure. This variant can be used on ...
Fluid/Heat Flow in Fractured Porous Media
In most geothermal reservoirs, i.e. North German Basin, fluid flow is mainly controlled by the permeability of fracture network. Permeability of an individual fracture is proportional to the cube of its aperture, and fractures that form their own pathways are mostly vertical. In this study, dip-slip fault, to be more specific, shear fracture with a rotation angle less than 90° is applied. The fracture is not fully opened yet filled with fluid and possesses high permeability, therein behaves like equivalent porous media. Darcy’s Law is applied to porous media and the fracture. Cubic Law is applied to the fracture.

Doyle Rotary Engine
The design of conventional Otto-cycle engines (automotive and beyond) has changed dramatically over the last 100 years. There have been leaps in efficiency but with each advancement it has become harder to improve upon the platform. Instead of making small gains by tweaking the individual components, it is time to change the conventional engine at its core. The Doyle Rotary Engine could be the new platform that is needed. When designing the DRE, the goal was to make the conventional engine more efficient, less complex, lighter and easier to manufacture, while not inventing and adding untested and unproven components ...

DeLagostti Technologies - Green Energy Systems - E2E Tech
E2E Tech = The Creation of electric energy in large amounts via the sole use of electric energy. Currently we are offering net 10 MW commercial power stations to as much as net 40 MW commercial power stations for one underground building. However if the land is there, one can build as many buildings as you need for the local power grid needs! So., this means net 40 times, say for example .... 5 buildings = 200 MWs etc.
