| 157 | Heat engine/ heat pump using centrifugal fans | US12291148 | 2008-11-07 | US08087247B2 | 2012-01-03 | Ronald Edward Graf |
| An engine/heat pump is shown. Most of its parts rotate around the same central axis. It comprises two doubly connected chambers. Blades in each chamber substantially rotate with the chamber and may be firmly attached to the walls of the chamber, thus forming a modified centrifugal pump with axial input and discharge. An expandable fluid is rotated outward by one of the pumps and then heat is added for an engine or removed for a heat pump as the fluid is being sent to the outer part of the second pump. The fluid travels toward the center of the second pump, thus impelling the pump in the rotation direction. Then heat is removed for an engine or added for a heat pump as the fluid leaves the second pump and travels back to the first pump near the center of rotation. Rotation energy of the fluid is typically much larger than the circulation energy. A modified centrifugal pump with axial discharge having a casing rotating with the blades is also claimed. | ||||||

| 160 | Rotary steam engine | US11989759 | 2006-07-27 | US07971436B2 | 2011-07-05 | Yasushi Yamamoto |
| A rotary steam engine of a simple constitution capable of efficiently obtaining mechanical energy not only from a heat source of a high temperature but also from various heat sources in a low-temperature state such as the exhaust heat of an internal combustion engine. The engine has a rotor 1 having a plurality of displacement chambers 11 provided in a sealed container 2 which is filled with a liquid. A steam-generating portion 4 is arranged under the rotor 1 and where the liquid vaporizes being heated by the exhaust heat of an internal combustion engine. The vaporized stem is jetted from a flow-out passage 42 toward the displacement chambers 11 of the rotor 1. The steam stays in the displacement chambers 11 and, therefore, buoyancy acts onto the displacement chambers 11 on one side of the rotor 1. The rotor 1 rotates to produce the rotational energy. The steam in the displacement chambers 11 is released in the sealed container 2 accompanying the rotation of the rotor 1, and is introduced into a condenser 3 where the steam is condensed and refluxes into the sealed container 2. The pressure in the sealed container 2 is maintained to be a saturated steam pressure by a vacuum pump 34. Therefore, the steam is formed despite the liquid has a low temperature to rotate the rotor 1. | ||||||
