Portable combustion device utilizing thermoelectrical generation

This invention provides a portable combustion device that provides a cleaner combustion, reduces the kindling period, and provides a more efficient overall combustion through the use of a fan that directs a predetermined volume of airflow over the combustible fuel—typically wood or similar cellulose-based biological solids. The combustion device has a combustion chamber into which the fuel source is placed for combustion. Mounted to the side of the combustion chamber is a housing that encloses the TEG, which generates an electrical output based on a difference in temperature on opposing sides. Mounted onto the TEG housing and protruding into the combustion chamber through a small passageway is a heat-conducting probe and heat-conducting probe base unit. The opposing side of the TEG is also in contact with a heat sink to remove heat from the TEG device through interaction with ambient air that passes over the vanes from a port located along the side of the TEG housing. A motor and fan near the heat sink to draw air away the heat sink and aid in the cooling of the heat sink, and force air onto the combusting fuel through a plurality of peripheral ports that connect with an air space located between the inner and outer walls of the combustion chamber.

Logic control method for improving starting performance of vehicle

The invention relates to a logic control method for improving the starting performance of a vehicle, which comprises the following steps of: judging whether the vehicle is in a starting process at present or not by a starting-assisting function module according to a vehicle-speed signal, an engine rotating-speed signal, a speed-changer gear signal, an electronic accelerator-pedal opening signal and a braking signal; if so, calculating and outputting a starting-target idling-speed increment to an idle-speed control function module according to a current engine water-temperature signal, and controlling an engine by the idle-speed control function module to increase the starting-target idling-speed increment part to be used as a target idle speed in the starting process by the engine on the basis of an original target idle speed; and after the starting process of the vehicle is judged to be finished by the starting-assisting function module according to the vehicle-speed signal, the speed-changer gear signal, the electronic accelerator-pedal opening signal or the braking signal, quitting a starting-assisting function to enable the engine to be restored at the original target idle speed to normally operate. Through the control method, the engine can have a lower idling speed in an idle-speed state, and the vehicle has a higher idling speed in the starting process.

Wind energy collector based on flexible polymer piezoelectric material

The invention relates to a wind energy collector based on a flexible polymer piezoelectric material. The wind energy collector comprises blades, a rotary shaft, flexible materials, a cylindrical shell, a rotary disc, piezoelectric films and a top cover, wherein the rotary shaft is fixed to the cylindrical shell through bearings and only has one degree of rotation freedom; one end of the rotary shaft is connected with the blades, and the other end of the rotary shaft is connected with the rotary disc; each flexible material and the corresponding piezoelectric film form a flexible piezoelectric polymer cantilever beam, and the multiple flexible piezoelectric polymer cantilever beams are evenly distributed on and fixed to the cylindrical shell; and the top cover is installed at the bottom of the cylindrical shell. The blades are driven to rotate by wind, the rotary shaft transfers the motion to the rotary disc, the rotary disc beats the flexible piezoelectric polymer cantilever beams periodically while rotating, and the piezoelectric films generate electric energy under vibration caused by beating and deformation recovery. The wind energy collector is simple in structure, high in energy collection efficiency, long in service life and suitable for a wide wind speed changing range, the requirements for a manufacturing process are low, and the wind energy collector can provide energy for micro-sensing network nodes.

Solar automatic tracking system

The invention discloses a solar automatic tracking system comprising hardware which has a smart structural design with single-axle scaly solar panels (1) and a universal joint bearing seat (5), and the solar automatic tracking system is suitable for a shaft support with multiple pillars, is mounted in complex hilly lands, has down-moved gravity of the support and flexible turning and enables the system to adopt a single-axis tracking system to establish a solar power station in bumpy hilly lands, thereby ensuring that the solar panels always obtain solar radiation energy as much as possible in the hilly lands, enhancing the tracking efficiency, effectively improving the anti-wind capability of the hardware, reducing the material breakage brought by windage resistance and strengthening the security and the adaptability. With a unique shadow elusion system processing function, the system prevents the solar panels on a stand from generating energy degradation because of being sheltered from mutual shadows and enables the solar panels to obtain the greatest energy output, thereby not only improving the solar electrical energy generation efficiency greatly, but also enhancing the adaptability of the solar tracking system and saving the limited resources by saving occupied space about 50 percent compared with the prior solar tracking system.

Data center battery enhancement method and system

A method for increasing workable power output and run time duration of a battery backup system is disclosed. A plurality of battery groups is provided. A microprocessor electrically connects the power output of a first battery group and a second battery group to a UPS. The microprocessor monitors the output voltage of the first and second battery groups. When the monitored output voltage of the first and second battery group falls below a predetermined level, the microprocessor electrically disconnects from the UPS the first battery group and electrically connects to the UPS the power output of another of the plurality of battery groups. The first battery group is configured to be re-connectable to the UPS after a time period equal to or greater than necessary to permit the output voltage of the first battery group to recover to about its nominal voltage rating.

Magnetohydrodynamic energy conversion device using a heat exchanger

InactiveUS7554223B1Great ionizationImprove electrical outputSolar heating energyGas turbine plantsElectrically conductiveElectricity
An energy conversion device for generating electricity includes a heat exchanger adapted to receive heat from a heat source. A closed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) circuit includes a section for extracting heat from a heat exchanger so as to raise the temperature of the flowable electrically conductive material within the MHD circuit. The heat exchanger includes a heat-conductive support adapted to be heated, and a heat-extracting section of the MHD circuit extracts heat from the support. The support may be a metal plate having a sinuous pipe arrangement in heat-conductive contact against each face, one of these pipe arrangements being part of a circuit for heating the plate and the other pipe arrangement being part of the MHD circuit. The heat source may be combustion of a fuel, solar, geothermal, chemical reaction, or waste heat in the form of a hot gas. The heat conductive support may be a metal tube heated, usually by a hot gas, in which case the heat-extracting section of the MHD circuit includes a helical pipe surrounding the tube. The heat-providing means may include a lens arrangement for concentrating solar radiation on one face of the heat exchanger plate.
