| 20100011768 | Pyrodielectrophoretic Heat Engine And Method Of Energy Conversion - A pyrodielectrophoretic heat engine and energy conversion method exploiting the pyrodielectrophoretic effect for effectively and efficiently converting thermal energy into work or other useful forms at any physical size or scale. | 01-21-2010 |
| 20100031657 | Jet propelled flywheel - Jet propulsion of the flywheel is accomplished by introducing a fluid (synthetic lubricant) into the hollow shaft at the center of the flywheel. Centrifugal force carries the fluid through holes to the rim. Thus enhanced, it is now forced through a nozzle. Fluid jets opposite and tangential to the rotation of the flywheel sustain or increase the rotational speed of the flywheel. Jetted fluid is collected and re-circulated through the flywheel. This is a continuous self-perpetuating process, requiring no fossil fuel and involves no release to the environment. It can provide power on the moon, planets, or anywhere there is gravity. | 02-11-2010 |

| 20110011091 | Method to create kinetic energy - This invention relates generally to energy and more particularly to a method, hitherto unknown, to create kinetic energy of a body of mass. It is excessively well know in classical physics that energy can not be created or destroyed. The word create as used herein shall mean to make present about the surface of the earth energy which was previously was not present. The source of the kinetic energy shall be due to a combination of earth's gravity effects acting through a displacement. The new use and method for creating kinetic energy shall be by situating an EPICYCLOID ROLLING RESISTANCE ABATEMENT MEANS (U.S. Pat. No. 4,878,525) on an inclined surface on or about the earth's surface. Epicycloid rolling resistance abatement means art provides means of rolling resistance abatement for vehicle wheels by means of sequaciously storing and releasing energy by way of compression springs attached in a recessed manner to the periphery of a vehicle wheel. The new use and method would still render the same results if the wheel were extricated from a vehicle. The present new use invention whilst in operation incurs motion by the influence of gravity and provides a method by a unique combination of the elements described above for the acquisition of an increase of kinetic energy hitherto unknown. Subsequently, the created kinetic energy could be converted to electrical energy or other form of energy. The energy yielded may also be stored for a later and more timely use. This prior art discloses the operation with a multiplicity of vehicle wheels cooperating and communicating with synchronisation optimization. This wheel apparatus art shall constitutes the structural form of the present invention new use and method and the said form shall be situated on an inclined plane and the said inclined plane shall reside in a gravitation field and be subjected to effective forces appertaining thereto in a predetermined and pre-positioned manner whereby the wheel apparatus is impels force resulting in kinetic energy. | 01-20-2011 |
| 20120006027 | RENEWABLE ENERGY EXTRACTION - Among other things, renewable energy is extracted from an asymmetric system (or the ability of the system to have renewable energy extracted from it is enhanced, or both) that is characterized by one or more stochastic variables, which exhibit at least one statistical component that is not Gaussian and/or not white. | 01-12-2012 |
| 20120023948 | Propulsion Systems and Methods Utilizing Smart Propellant - Propulsion systems and methods utilize one or more propellant masses in the form of smart propellant devices to move a spacecraft or other object through outer space and/or substantially airless environments. A spacecraft maneuver, for example, is facilitated by forces imparted on the spacecraft resulting from the ejection of one or more smart propellant devices from the spacecraft and/or the recapture of one or more of the propellant masses at the spacecraft. The smart propellant devices are each programmed to return to the spacecraft along a particular trajectory and to impact the spacecraft at a particular time and place. The spacecraft is provided with ejection devices and recovery devices that eject and recover, respectively, the one or more smart propellant devices. The recovery devices can also be configured to capture kinetic energy from incoming smart propellant devices. | 02-02-2012 |
