If the energy service enterprise is responsible for paying costs for applying energy-saving measures to the object facilities, measures the energy consumption after taking the energy-saving measures, calculates the amount of curtailed energy cost by comparing the measured value with the energy consumption before taking the energy-saving measures previously stored in the database, and receives at least a part of the curtailed amount, the customer is not required to plan equipment investment in energy-saving measures and collection thereof. Introduction of the energy-saving measures is thus made easier.

Wave power generator
A machine and a process to produce compressed air by sea waves, using the weight of the floating platform with its fixture using its up and down movement to compress air in both directions to absorb the maximum energy of that wave in a direct drive bidirectional pump with a single piston wherein the kinetic energy and wave bouncy force is used to compress ambient air as stored energy. This unique arrangement doubles air volume for compression in both directions in any single wave curve, doubles the energy production in both upper and lower chambers of the pump and multiplies the “psi” based on the float thrust area against the size of the piston in the pump. The preferred embodiment can be used as a stand alone unit as well as in array formation for the desired output 24 / 7.

An energy service business system includes a database which stores past data about an energy consumption of a facility before taking energy-saving measures, a measurer which measures present data of the energy consumption after taking the energy-saving measures, and a calculator which calculates energy curtailment quantities facility before and after taking the energy-saving measures. The past data in the database are stored in a form correlated with data of a production quantity, and the measurer measures the present data of the energy consumption together with data of the production quantity after taking the energy-saving measures. The calculator retrieves the past data having production quantity data within a set allowable range corresponding to the measured present data having production quantity data, and calculates the energy curtailment quantities by comparing the retrieved past data having production quantity data and the measured present data having the production quantity data.

Apparatus for converting gravitational energy to electrical energy
The present invention discloses an apparatus of converting gravitational energy to electrical energy. The apparatus includes a reciprocating drive mechanism for lifting liquid from a bottom reservoir to an upper reservoir and turbines between the upper and lower reservoirs which are turned by liquid falling down a flow path from the top reservoir through the turbines to the bottom reservoir. The reciprocating drive mechanism includes a large circular ring or wheel pivotally attached at its hub or center to a support frame and a cable over the upper periphery of the ring with two pipes attached one at each end of the cable. The ring pivots back and forth lifting one pipe and lowering the other pipe and vice versa. As a pipe moves down liquid enters the bottom of the pipe while liquid drains out the top of the pipe into the upper reservoir. One of the turbines is connected to the reciprocating drive mechanism and the other to a generator for producing electricity.

Method for preparation of magnetic spinel ferrites from layered double hydroxide precursors
InactiveUS20050129609A1High activityLow mixture uniformityLiquid applicationFerroso-ferric oxidesDispersityMagnetization
The invention describes a method of preparing magnetic ferrites from layered precursors in which Fe2+ is first introduced into the layers of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) in order to prepare Me-Fe2+—Fe3+ LDHs, and then by utilizing the easily oxidized nature of Fe2+, binary or multi-component ferrite materials containing Fe3+ in a single crystalline phase can be prepared. Values of the saturation magnetization of ferrites prepared by the method are significantly increased compared with ferrites prepared by traditional methods. Because the metal elements in the layered precursor have the characteristics of a high degree of dispersion, high activity and small particle size (average particle size 40-200 nm), no milling is required before calcination, thus simplifying the production process, shortening the production period, reducing capital investment in equipment and economizing on energy costs. In addition, the method does not corrode production equipment and does not pollute the environment.

Use of enzyme catalysts in co2 pcc processes
A method for processing a stream enriched in CO2 from a gas by the action of an absorbent in the stream includes desorbing CO2 from the stream by application of heat to the stream to desorb the CO2 and regenerate the absorbent in a reaction system that includes reconstitution of carbon dioxide and an alkanolamine from carbamate and ammonium ion solution. The energy requirement is materially reduced by the presence of a biocatalyst. In another aspect, a gas stream is contacted with a sorbent system to effect absorption of CO2 from the gas stream, the sorbent and absorbed CO2 are separated from the gas stream to form a CO2-rich stream, and the sorbent system contains a primary or secondary alkanolamine and a catalyst selected to modify the reaction kinetics of the absorption process so as to materially increase the proportion of bicarbonate in the CO2-rich stream relative to carbamate.

Invented is a Resource Tower that uses water electrolysis to separate out its elemental and purified H2 hydrogen gas and O2 oxygen gas. These gases form a pressurized flow for electricity generation for distribution and transport to heights atop the Resource Tower. Core advancements of this invention are the use of fuel cells at the top of the Resource Tower to electrochemically combine hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to produce electricity, heat, and water. The Resource Tower distributes the electricity, converts heat and water to steam to generate additional electricity for distribution, and ultimately coalesces the steam back to water at a height. The water that falls under acceleration of gravity from atop the Resource Tower is used to generate additional electricity for distribution. In addition to multiple sites of electricity generation for distribution, the purity of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas from water electrolysis is retained and the water resulting from the Resource Tower is purified and potable for distribution.
