145 Power Towers/Innovative Method of Power Extraction Using Static Airfoils US11671585 2007-02-06 US20080211234A1 2008-09-04 Frank Grassi
An airfoil shaped tower the size of a skyscraper for the production of electrical power using turbines. The turbines are located at the base of the tower and are fed by ambient air. Power to turn the turbines comes from the pressure drop generated by the wind moving over a changing surface of the airfoil. (Bernoulli's Equation). The areas of negative pressure on the exterior surface are covered by a plurality of bleeder vents that conduct air from the high-pressure (ambient air) interior to the low-pressure exterior. The invention is further improved by the construction of several towers in close proximity. Adjacent towers augment the air velocity thus increasing the pressure differential. The power of the turbines is greatly increased because power is proportional to the effective wind velocity cubed.

150 Bi-directional programming system/method for program development US10564490 2004-07-12 US20060212845A1 2006-09-21 Aaron Davidson; Craig Hill
The invention provides a bi-directional programming method/system/computer product for a programmer to enter source level instructions via either a visual language interface or a traditional syntactic level (code) interface. Irrespective of which means is used to describe the program, a corresponding “view” of the program (visual or syntax) is generated. Changes to the program can be made at either level, allowing the regeneration of the corresponding view (visual or syntax) to reflect the changes. For example, should the original program be described in a visual format, then a program can be generated in the corresponding syntax level format. Similarly, if a programmer wishes to make changes to this syntax level, then the equivalent version of the program can be regenerated in the visual format to reflect the changes. The invention can advantageously be used to develop back-end logic for an application program.
151 Air filtering chimney to clean pollution from a city and generate electric power US10750955 2004-01-05 US07026723B2 2006-04-11 Mauricio Rodolfo Moreno
A solar chimney assembly including a chimney (3) is build using a mountain (11) as support. The chimney (3) receives air from a solar heat collector (1) that heats the air below it creating an updraft of air. The air goes up because of the difference in temperature and the difference of pressure between the base and the top of the chimney. This higher the difference of temperature and pressure, the faster the air will go up. An array of turbines (2) is driven by the air. The chimney (3) will be as high as the mountain (approximately 1,000 meters high or higher) and will go above the inversion layer or thermic ceiling (10). At the top of the chimney, a fine mist of electrically charged water (5), taken from a reservoir (4) is sprayed across the top of the tower, attracting pollution in the air like sulfur dioxide, soot and other particles. The water will fall because of gravity and will be collected in a second reservoir (6) and will be used to send it down the mountain through a pipe (7) to generate additional electric power with a turbine (8).

155 Apparatus and methods for energy conversion in an ocean environment US10116000 2002-04-05 US06833631B2 2004-12-21 Martinus Van Breems
A wave power generator is characterized by an elongate inner member extending vertically in a body of water with its lower end constrained against vertical movement beneath the surface of the water, and an elongate outer flotation member mounted for linear movement along the length of the inner member in response to wave action. The outer member moves along the inner member with the length of the outer member extending along the length of the inner member. Movement of the outer member relative to and along the inner member effects relative linear movement between a coil and magnet to generate electrical power. The wave power generators may be used to supply electrical power to deep water hydrogen generators in which water is electrolyzed at great depths underwater to generate compressed hydrogen gas.
