Elastic Rotary Actuator

View page
US Patent:
20130074635, Mar 28, 2013
Filed:
Sep 20, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/623174
Inventors:
Ivar Thorson - Sherwood OR, US
International Classification:
B25J 18/00
US Classification:
7449001
Abstract:
Rotary actuators having a final output member rotatable about an axis of rotation; a motor unit designed to drive the final output member for rotation about the axis of rotation; and an elastic unit arranged between the motor unit and the final output member and having an input member torsionally coupled to the motor unit and an output member rigidly connected for rotation with the final output member are provided.

Hydrogen Production And Conveyance System

View page
US Patent:
20220349374, Nov 3, 2022
Filed:
Jul 15, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/812844
Inventors:
- Portland OR, US
Brian Lee Moffat - Portland OR, US
Daniel William Place - Portland OR, US
Ivar Lee Thorson - Portland OR, US
Assignee:
LONE GULL HOLDINGS, LTD. - Portland OR
International Classification:
F03B 13/14
B63B 27/24
B63B 25/08
B63G 8/00
B63B 79/40
B63G 8/08
B67D 9/00
C25B 1/04
B67D 7/04
Abstract:
A system and method by which energy from ocean waves is converted into hydrogen, and that hydrogen is used to manifest electrical and mechanical energies by an energy consuming device. A portion of the generated electrical power is communicated to water electrolyzers which produce oxygen and hydrogen from water as gases. At least a portion of the generated hydrogen gas is transferred to a transportation ship via a hose-carrying, remotely operated (or otherwise unmanned) vehicle, and subsequently transferred to an energy-consuming module or infrastructure, where a portion of the hydrogen is consumed in order to manifest a generation of electrical energy, a mechanical motion, and/or a chemical reaction.

Renewable Energy Device With Lateral Aperture Wave-Driven Propulsion

View page
US Patent:
20220213862, Jul 7, 2022
Filed:
Dec 20, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/556815
Inventors:
- Portland OR, US
Brian Lee Moffat - Portland OR, US
Ivar Lee Thorson - Portland OR, US
Assignee:
Lone Gull Holdings, Ltd. - Portland OR
International Classification:
F03B 13/14
B63H 11/02
Abstract:
Disclosed is an apparatus that floats at the surface of a body of water over that waves pass. Passing waves, and/or the motions they impart to the apparatus as they pass, result in a net and/or effective propulsion of the apparatus in at least a first direction relative to the geometry and/or structure of the apparatus, and typically, at least in part, toward a direction from that waves approach the apparatus.

Inertial Hydrodynamic Pump And Wave Engine

View page
US Patent:
20230078347, Mar 16, 2023
Filed:
Feb 18, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/798070
Inventors:
- Portland OR, US
Brian Lee Moffat - Portland OR, US
Daniel William Place - Portland OR, US
Ivar Lee Thorson - Portland OR, US
Assignee:
Lone Gull Holdings, Ltd. - Portland OR
International Classification:
C25B 9/65
F04B 17/00
B63B 1/02
F03B 13/14
C25B 1/04
C25B 15/08
C25B 15/023
Abstract:
A buoyant hydrodynamic pump is disclosed that can float on a surface of a body of water over which waves tend to pass. Embodiments incorporate an open-bottomed tube with a constriction. The tube partially encloses a substantial volume of water with which the tube's constriction interacts, creating and/or amplifying fluid-flow oscillations therein in response to wave action. Wave-driven oscillations result in periodic upward ejections of portions of the water inside the tube that can be collected in a reservoir that is at least partially positioned above the mean water level of the body of water, or pressurized by compressed air or gas, or both. Water within such a reservoir may return to the body of water via a turbine, thereby generating electrical power (making the device a wave engine), or the device's pumping action can be used for other purposes such as water circulation, propulsion, dissolved minerals extraction, or cloud seeding. Methods are disclosed for manufacture of hydrogen at sea and for delivery of said hydrogen using a ship. Methods are disclosed for filling a hydrogen-loaded carrier ship at sea.
