摘要： An energy storage system converts variable renewable electricity (VRE) to continuous heat at over 1000° C. Intermittent electrical energy heats a solid medium. Heat from the solid medium is delivered continuously on demand. An array of bricks incorporating internal radiation cavities is directly heated by thermal radiation. The cavities facilitate rapid, uniform heating via reradiation. Heat delivery via flowing gas establishes a thermocline which maintains high outlet temperature throughout discharge. Gas flows through structured pathways within the array, delivering heat which may be used for processes including calcination, hydrogen electrolysis, steam generation, and thermal power generation and cogeneration. Groups of thermal storage arrays may be controlled and operated at high temperatures without thermal runaway via deep-discharge sequencing. Forecast-based control enables continuous, year-round heat supply using current and advance information of weather and VRE availability. High-voltage DC power conversion and distribution circuitry improves the efficiency of VRE power transfer into the system.

摘要： An improvement for inboard motor boats has a rigid exhaust conduit, a miniature rudder, and a rudder control system. The rigid conduit is provided for conduction of combustion gases exhaust outside the hull and has an aft facing outlet. The miniature rudder is pivotably mounted on the rigid conduit relative the aft facing outlet whereby combustion gases exhaust past the rudder. The rudder control system has a user interface inside the boat and has a control mechanism pivoting the rudder in response to inputs to the user interface.

摘要： A propulsion system for a large, nuclear-powered ship includes a number of steam expansion thrusters rearwardly directed from the stern portion of the ship above the water line, a number of water jet drivers rearwardly directed from the stern portion below the water line, and a number of water jet thrusters downwardly directed from the hull portion of the ship. The frictional drag effect on the ship may be reduced by providing a curtain of air bubbles adapted to flow rearwardly in contact with the hull portion.

摘要： A high-speed watercraft provides a fast hydroplane craft, powered by a large gas turbine, that will plane over the surface of the water at high speed using a catamaran-type hull mounted on two long, flat-bottom pontoon skis with water chutes under the back end, with steering done from the front with a combination rudder/water chute. The turbine exhausts through a movable nozzle in the back that can be directed up or down by a hydraulic (or mechanical) actuator towards the surface of the water. The watercraft includes a large high, wide dual tail section having a tail wing and tail flap for control, and a large arch frame over the top from the front to the back with rods coming down to the gunnel to give the hull more strength. The craft also includes a front pontoon ski, a pair of middle pontoon skis, and a pair of aft pontoon skis. Finally, the craft includes a belly plate underneath near the back that acts like an after-ski with water chutes under the aft pontoon skis. Flat plates under the front of the skis mounted on pins. This will make the craft more stable to handle, less top heavy, better control, more floating buoyancy to skim over the surface of the water at high speeds and smoother riding.

摘要： A liquid turbojet engine includes an elongated shaft, a housing mounted about the shaft with the shaft being rotatable relative to the housing about the shaft longitudinal axis, a conduit fixed to the shaft within the housing filled with an inert motive liquid and nozzles for inducing combustible gas bubbles in the motive liquid. The conduit has a compression section extending generally radially from the shaft, a combustion section extending generally axially and parallel to the shaft and from the compression section at a radial distance from the shaft, and an expansion section extending generally radially relative to the shaft axis from an end of the combustion section remote from the compression section. The bubble nozzles are located at the inlet of the compression section. The motive liquid enters through an inlet in the housing. The burned bubbles are discharged with the motive liquid through an exit nozzle in the housing.

摘要： A Marine Jet Propulsion System for use as an inboard engine for boats is herein described. An engine or motor means is attached in a driving relationship to a pump and thrust output apparatus. Heat generated by and rejected by the engine or motor is passed into the pump base for dissipation into the outputted jet thrust stream. Air and/or exhaust gas from the engine is ejected around the jet output stream to reduce against-the-hull turbulence and jet stream or thrust energy losses. Streamlining hull closures for the jet pump intake and output ports are provided to reduce system hull drag when not in use and to limit marine organism growth inside the pump.
