A process for producing solid nanocomposite particles for lithium metal or lithium ion battery electrode applications is provided. In one preferred embodiment, the process comprises: (A) Preparing an electrode active material in a form of fine particles, rods, wires, fibers, or tubes with a dimension smaller than 1 μm; (B) Preparing separated or isolated nano graphene platelets with a thickness less than 50 nm; (C) Dispersing the nano graphene platelets and the electrode active material in a precursor fluid medium to form a suspension wherein the fluid medium contains a precursor matrix material dispersed or dissolved therein; and (D) Converting the suspension to the solid nanocomposite particles, wherein the precursor matrix material is converted into a protective matrix material reinforced by the nano graphene platelets and the electrode active material is substantially dispersed in the protective matrix material. For a lithium ion battery anode application, the matrix material is preferably amorphous carbon, polymeric carbon, or meso-phase carbon. Such solid nanocomposite particles provide a high anode capacity and good cycling stability. For a cathode application, the resulting lithium metal or lithium ion battery exhibits an exceptionally high cycle life.

A method of controlling a refrigerator including an ice maker for making ice using chilled air is disclosed. The method includes supplying chilled air to a compartment, blowing chilled air in the compartment to an ice-making tray disposed in the compartment regardless of conditions in the compartment, and varying a blowing speed of the chilled air in the compartment to the ice-making tray according to a demand. According to the present invention, a large quantity of ice can be produced within a short time. Ice-making speed and the quantity of ice can be varied according to a user's demand.

In a wind power generating system, a pair of axially spaced turbines are connected to an outer rotor and an inner rotor of a generator, respectively, and are provided with blades having equal but opposite pitch angles so that the inner and outer rotor rotate at a same rotational speed in opposite directions. Because the relative rotational speed between the inner and outer rotors is twice as great as the rotational speed of the inner rotor or outer rotor, the generator system can produce a relatively large electric power even when the wind speed is low. If desired, a pitch varying mechanism for the turbine blades may be done away with so as to reduce the manufacturing and maintenance costs.

An underwater hydro-electric farm comprising a plurality of electrical generator assemblies arranged in an array on a bottom surface of a body of water within an ocean current path to take generate power from a kinetic energy caused by the flow of the underwater current. Each assembly is installed in a cradle, which is anchored with a pile driven system to the bottom surface. Each assembly is a modular system allowing for easy swapping out of an assembly under water. Generated power is transmitted to a land based facility directly to or through an intermediate transfer station. Generator portion may have internally or externally supported field windings. Various configurations of propellers may be used, some with channels or solid vanes and another being a spiral shaped propeller. All water exposed surfaces of the generator and propeller portions are coated with a non-conductive, heat dissipating, anti-fouling and water specific protective coating.

In a creation section of GaN crystal nuclei, a gallium vapor and an ammonia gas are chemically reacted to create GaN crystal nuclei, which are transported into a growth section of GaN powders with a nitrogen carrier gas. In the growth section of GaN powders, a gallium chloride created in a pre-reactor is chemically reacted with the ammonia gas transported from the creation section of GaN crystal nuclei on the GaN crystal nuclei, to produce GaN powders through the crystal growth.
