A Seebeck active cooling device for use in conjunction with a weapon to cool the barrel, in order to reduce its weight, to remove the need for a second barrel, and to prolong its useful life. In particular, the cooling device employs a plurality of thermoelectric devices that convert the energy from the heat produced by the hot barrel during the operation to an electric current. The electric current powers a series of electric fans, which in turn, cool the barrel. |

In one embodiment a gas turbine engine is disclosed having a heat exchanger at least partially disposed in a bypass duct. In one form the gas turbine engine is a high bypass ratio engine. The heat exchanger may be coupled with a directed energy weapon to provide coolant flow and regulate the temperature of the directed energy weapon. Other devices may also be coupled with the heat exchanger, either as an alternative to in addition to the directed energy weapon. |

A gun barrel cooler for cooling a firearm, such as an automatic, semi-automatic, bolt action or lever action rifle that includes a centrifugal fan blower with an intake to which ambient barrel coolant air is discharged from the blower where the air flows through a conduit that preferably is a flexible hose, through a coupling used to couple the hose to a barrel coolant discharge nozzle, and out the nozzle into the barrel of the gun desired to be cooled. The nozzle is three dimensionally shaped to substantially conform to the firing chamber of the gun to provide better sealing during cooling. A preferred nozzle is an empty cartridge case of substantially the same caliber as the gun to be cooled that is removably attached to the coupler thereby enabling cartridge cases of different calibers to be used to cool guns of different calibers. |

A fire control system for a firearm, such as a rifle, operates a bolt action for increased rate of fire and convenience while retaining the secure locking of the firing chamber by manual bolt actions. After a controller determines that a round has been fired, one or more actuators, such as electrically actuated tooth wheels or gears, unlocks and reciprocates the bolt action to extract the spent shell and to load an unfired cartridge. Thereby, a consistent locking action is achieved avoiding the inconsistent sealing of conventional automatic bolt actions. Consistent accuracy with increased firing rate operation is further achieved with a cooling system activated when the firearm exceeds an optimum temperature operating range. |

A heat dissipation assembly for use with a barrel forming a part of a firearm upper receiver. An annular shaped barrel nut is adapted to secure the barrel to the upper receiver. An elongated handguard is affixed to the barrel nut at a heat conducting location, the handguard adapted to surround a proximal extending portion of the barrel, the handguard having a plurality of apertures defined therethrough. At least one cooling element is located on an exterior of the handguard. A thermoelectric generator is incorporated into the handguard for transferring heat from the barrel nut to the cooling element. A fan component is integrated into the handguard and operated by the thermoelectric generator for drawing air through the apertures in order to provide additional cooling to the barrel. |
