| Multifunctional cellular metals or other materials (102) for structural applications that are capable of recovering their original undeformed shape and thickness after impact or crushing, i.e., self-healing. Alternatively, they may normally be stored or used in their compressed, i.e., crushed, state and deployed when needed to act as energy absorbing structure or packaging, i.e., deployable energy absorber. Additionally, the multifunctional structures may act as an actuator, capable of providing localized or distributed force and displacement, and related methods of using and manufacturing the same. These active cellular metals or other materials (110) are composites consisting of conventional metal/alloy truss structures or other material components and offer high specific strength and stiffness, but which are also deployable energy absorbers or self-healing smart structures. | ||||||

| 28 | Horizontal windmill with folding blades | US503140 | 1995-07-17 | US5570997A | 1996-11-05 | Charles W. Pratt |
| Windmill (10) having a plurality of hydrodynamic, folding blades (12, 14, 16 and 18) secured to a hub (64). The blades are propelled by wind current such that the windmill rotates about a central axis of a shaft (20) on which a hub (64) is journalled. Each folding blade extends radially from the hub and includes a lower blade portion (24) attached to the hub and an upper blade portion (22) pivotally attached to the lower blade portion. The lower blade portion includes a hydrodynamic surface extending from a first edge(43) and terminating at a trailing edge (42). The upper blade portion is hydrodynamically contoured so as to form a nose cone (44). An apex of the nose cone forms a leading edge (40) of the upper blade portion that is opposite a trailing edge (41). The nose cone is weighted such that the trailing edge of the upper blade portion balances in a position slightly separate from the trailing edge of the lower blade portion when the fluid current fails to flow at a speed that exceeds a minimum threshold. However, when the fluid current impinges the trailing edge of the upper blade portion and the fluid current flows at a speed that exceeds a minimum threshold, the weighted nose cone of the upper blade portion causes the upper blade portion to pivot away from the lower blade portion so that the trailing edge of the upper blade portion is separated from the trailing edge of the lower blade portion at an acute angle. Accordingly, when the fluid current ceases to impinge the trailing edge of the upper blade portion, the weighted nose cone of the upper blade portion causes the upper blade portion to pivot toward the lower blade portion such that the trailing edge of the upper blade portion approaches the trailing edge of the lower blade portion. | ||||||
| 29 | Vertical axis wind turbine | US845046 | 1992-03-03 | US5226806A | 1993-07-13 | John Lubbers |
| A wind turbine is described which includes a vertical axle mounted for rotation to drive an output utilization device. Around the axle is arranged a circumferential array of wind vanes, each wind vane comprising a generally rectangular panel of flexible material supported in a frame and having a pocket opened along a vertical side which is able to flare out and catch the wind in one direction but collapse upon rotation around to the opposite direction, allowing a net output power to be generated by the wind being received in the wind vane pockets. A successive opening of the pockets insures a rapid opening action. A releasable hinging of the wind vane frame allows spilling of winds at excessive wind speeds. | ||||||

The deformation changes the camber of the sail element. | ||||||

A hydraulic rotation rate control system senses the rotation rate of the rotor and generates a signal permitting the adjustment of the relative orientation of the fin and the shield. The rotor is coupled to a conventional electric generator for the generation of electric power. | ||||||

| A lightweight periodic cellular structure has a stacked array of hollow or solid structural elements that are bonded at their contact points in order to form a stacked lattice structure. Further arrays may be stacked onto the stacked lattice structure in order to form a periodic cellular structure of varying thickness and depth. Also, structural panels may be added to parallel exterior edges of the stacked lattice structure to form a structural panel. Further, the hollow structural elements are provided with wicking elements along their interior walls to facilitate heat transfer through the periodic cellular structure. Liquid may also be introduced into the hollow structural elements to further facilitate heat transfer through the periodic cellular structure. Also, the cellular structure may be utilized as light weight current collectors, such as electrodes, anodes, and cathodes. The related method of manufacturing the periodic cellular structure can accommodate a variety of cross-sectional shapes, introduce a variety of stacking offset angles to vary the lattice shape and resultant mechanical characteristics of the periodic cellular structure; and allow for the bending of the array of hollow or solid structural elements into an array of hollow pyramidal truss elements that can be used to form a stacked pyramidal. | ||||||
