52 Pickup

“52 PICKUP”

An Invention of Bálint Szent-Miklósy

KeyToNYC@aol.com

Picking up trash in the parks or along roadways is one of the most inefficient tasks currently performed. Equipment given to Parks and Sanitation Department workers saves them from bending by using a gripping tool that lets them grab the offending object and place it in a receptacle.

A New Use for an Axial Roof Ventilator Turbine

The original idea was to make a small axial generator to fit on top of existing “Whirly Bird” axial roof ventilators. However, the effective swept area of a whirly ventilator is small and with a wind speed of 4m/s (annual Western Cape average) it could not be expected to produce more than 20 watts. Not a cost-effective proposition,

A New Wind Generator

When the wind blows at 10mph it has eight times as much energy as at 5mph. At 10mph, traditional wind generators generate approximately twice as much as at 5mph. There is a lot of energy in the wind that is not utilized.

This generator (patent pending) consists of a hemispheric stator and a rotor with a number of hinged arms.

A Ruggedized National Sustainable Energy System

Sustainable energy sources, like wind and solar, are not as easily controlled as coal and oil. Powering the American economy off its environment requires an advanced computer system pulling in massive amounts of data, churning that data into a national model predicting both energy supply and need, and providing day-to-day stable control for the entire system.

A Turing Computer Without Machine Code

Examination of many computer programs reveals that only a few logic structures are involved and that these could be placed on a device such as the FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array). This led to the development of the concept of a computer without machine code.

A Wind Power Plant With Vertical Linear Transit Blade

The invention addresses the technical aspects of electricity generating plants, specifically wind power plants.

One of the purposes of the invention described here is to propose a new architecture that reduces mechanical stress as much as possible by unifying all the torque and tip-over moments into a single bending moment along the vertical axis,

AC Efficiency Boost via Swamp Cooler Affect

Home air conditioning systems could get a boost in cooling efficiency by using swamp cooling technology.

One of the byproducts of air conditioning in the home is water, which is condensed on the evaporator core which cools the internal air. Rather than dumping or pumping this water away, we will collect it into a holding tank,

Adhesion & Gravity alcohol distiller

This is an adaptation of an ancient system used in the Peruvian Andes to filter solids and transport water since 5,000 years ago. It makes use of two free forces of nature, adhesion and gravity via the well known capillarity and siphon effects using fiber filled conduits.
