Elastomeric dielectric polymer film sonic actuator

InactiveUS7062055B2Optimize power outputLow working voltagePiezoelectric/electrostrictive gramophone pickupsStirling type enginesDielectricConductive polymer
A sonic actuator including a multi-layer membrane having a non-metallic elastomeric dielectric polymer layer with a first surface and a second surface, a first compliant electrode layer contacting the first surface of the polymer layer, and a second compliant electrode layer contacting the second surface of the polymer layer. The actuator further includes a support structure in contact with the sonic actuator film. Preferably, the non-metallic dielectric polymer is selected from the group consisting essentially of silicone, fluorosilicone, fluoroelastomer, natural rubber, polybutadiene, nitrile rubber, isoprene, and ethylene propylene diene. Also preferably, the compliant electrode layer is made from the group consisting essentially of graphite, carbon, and conductive polymers. The support structure can take the form of grid having a number of circular apertures. When a voltage is applied to the electrodes, portions of the film held at the aperture of the support structure can bulge due to the electrostriction phenomenon. The resultant “bubbles” can be modulated to generate sonic vibrations, or can be used to create a variable surface for airflow control.

The invention provides a hybrid power drive system. The system comprises an engine, a first motor and a second motor which are electrically connected with a battery unit, a speed variator, a first clutch, a second clutch and a transmission shaft, wherein, the engine, the speed variator, the first motor, the first clutch and the second clutch are connected with the second motor in sequence, and the transmission shaft is connected between the first clutch and the second clutch. Because the speed variator is arranged between the engine and the first motor, the problem of the matching of the rotating speed between the engine and the motor can be solved. When a whole vehicle is moved in high speed, the engine can perform better matching of the rotating speed with the first motor and / or the second motor through the speed variator, to ensure the three parts to be moved in parallel or in series, thereby the whole vehicle can still have better accelerating ability under the high speed condition.

Fuel cell having a hydrophilic substrate layer

InactiveUS20020071978A1Enhance migrationImprove removal of waterCell electrodesWater management in fuel cellsElectrical efficiencyMembrane configuration
Fuel Cell Having a Hydrophilic Substrate Layer A fuel cell power plant includes a fuel cell having a membrane electrode assembly (MEA), disposed between an anode support plate and a cathode support plate, the anode and / or cathode support plates include a hydrophilic substrate layer having a predetermined pore size. The pressure of the reactant gas streams is greater than the pressure of the coolant stream, such that a greater percentage of the pores within the hydrophilic substrate layer contain reactant gas rather than water. Any water that forms on the cathode side of the MEA will migrate through the cathode support plate and away from the MEA. Controlling the pressure also ensures that the coolant water will continually migrate from the coolant stream toward the anode side of the MEA, thereby preventing the membrane from becoming dry. Proper pore size and a pressure differential between coolant and reactants improves the electrical efficiency of the fuel cell.

Windmill utilizing a fluid driven pump

A windmill apparatus includes tower, a tower-mounted hydraulic pump driven by windmill blades, and hydraulic lines connected to a ground storage tank and to a number of separate generator units. Each generator unit includes a hydraulic pump and an electrical generator. In operation, upon startup, as the wind propels the propeller-driven pump the hydraulic fluid circulates freely until a pre-set pressure is achieved, upon which a diverter valve diverts all the fluid pressure to the first generator unit. When the first generator unit is powered sufficiently to achieve a stable output voltage, a subsequent one of the remaining generator units is powered up until its output voltage is stabilized, with this process continuing as long as there is a surplus of hydraulic power available to power up additional units to take full advantage of all of the available wind power.
