Partially covered fan case openings increase air discharge while preserving motor cooling, improving electric blower efficiency.
Magnetic coupling across the stator-rotor gap detects liquid contamination in rotating cavities early, reducing turbine downtime and repair costs.
A sliding water piston creates the pressure differential that drives the impeller, improving wave power generation with a simpler, scalable turbine.
Baffle panels accelerate and direct slow river flow through a turbine or water wheel to generate power with less disruption than dams.
A heated first fluid vaporizes a second fluid to create a pressurized mixture that drives a rotor and converts low-temperature waste heat into power.
A pneumatically actuated buoyancy mechanism keeps a hydrokinetic rotor at high-velocity depth while stabilizing pitch against waves and debris.
Variable-diameter rotation segments let one generator use wind or water flow, addressing transport limits and calm-wind energy loss.
