20110146275, Jun 23, 2011

Filed:

Dec 16, 2010

Appl. No.:

12/928663

Inventors:

Ronald Kurt Christensen - Highland UT, US

International Classification:

F01K 27/00

US Classification:

60643

Abstract:

High work/energy efficiency and liquid efficiency processes and inventions for producing continuing work from confined liquid transient pressures in a pressure conduit. More particularly work processes and inventions that conserve liquid and increase and maintain the amount of continuing work done by transient pressures produced in a liquid within a confined pressure system.

Filed:

Mar 15, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/842489

Inventors:

Ronald Kurt Christensen - Highland UT, US

International Classification:

F01K 27/00

US Classification:

60645, 60643

Abstract:

A transient liquid pressure power generation system and associated devices and methods is disclosed. The system can include a liquid source and a transient pressure drive device fluidly coupled to the liquid source to receive liquid from the liquid source. The transient pressure drive device can include a drive component, and a transient wave or pressure producing element to cause a high pressure transient wave in the liquid traveling toward the liquid source to operate the drive component. Additionally, the system can include a heat source fluidly coupled to the transient pressure drive device and the liquid source to receive liquid from the transient pressure drive device and heat liquid returning to the liquid source.

Inventors:

Ronald Kurt Christensen - Highland UT, US

International Classification:

F03G 7/00

Abstract:

A transient liquid pressure power generation system can include a liquid source and a transient pressure drive device fluidly coupled to the liquid source. The transient pressure drive device can include a drive component, and a valve to cause a high pressure transient wave in the liquid traveling toward the liquid source to operate the drive component. The system can also include a liquid velocity continuation component downstream of the transient pressure drive device and a bypass conduit. Additionally, the system can include a heat source to receive liquid from the transient pressure drive device and heat liquid returning to the liquid source. The liquid velocity continuation component can operate to maintain continuous liquid flow from the liquid source to the heat source from the transient pressure drive device or the bypass conduit to cause immediate maximum liquid flow velocity from the transient pressure drive device upon opening the valve.

The liquid velocity continuation component can operate to maintain continuous liquid flow from the liquid source to the heat source from the transient pressure drive device or the bypass conduit to cause substantially immediate maximum liquid flow velocity from the transient pressure drive device upon opening the valve.
