Filed:

Aug 28, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/233097

Inventors:

Jerry Watson Lowe - Albany KY 42602

International Classification:

G01F 2300

US Classification:

73299, 73290 R, 73302

Abstract:

A liquid-level measuring device measures the liquid level in a tank. This invention measures liquid level by measuring the pressure at the bottom of the tank. A pressure sensor is placed in the top sealed end of a pipe extending from above the top of the tank down to and open into the bottom of the tank. When the tank is empty the pressure is zero (relative to atmospheric pressure). As the liquid level of the tank rises from empty to full, the pressure rises according to the weight of the liquid. An electronic pressure sensor is used to measure the pressure. The output of the pressure sensor is amplified and sent to an operator display device.

Inventors:

Jerry W. Lowe - Albany KY, US

Abstract:

An electric houseboat comprises a hull and a house-like structure mounted on the hull which includes at least one bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen. A Diesel generator comprises the sole power source for the houseboat. The operating temperature of the Diesel generator is controlled by directing coolant through the Diesel generator and through a keel pipe which extends along the hull of the houseboat thereby discharging heat into the water over which the houseboat operates. Exhaust resulting from operation of the Diesel generator is directed upwardly and is discharged at a point substantially above the water and above the house-like structure of the houseboat.

International Classification:

H02H 3/00

US Classification:

361 62

Abstract:

When a generator shuts down intentionally or un-intentionally the low frequency switch disconnects a load from a generator before the output frequency of the generator drops below a preset frequency. Without the low frequency switch on some loads, such as a motor, the current will rise to several times the running current of the motor before the generator coasts to a stop. If this load is switched over to a source with insufficient capability to handle the high current, caused by low frequency operation of the load, serious damage can take place to the new source.
