SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ELECTRICITY GENERATION

A system includes a wellbore that extends from a surface into a subterranean formation. In addition, the system includes a power generation assembly including a fluid circuit that is in fluid communication with the wellbore wherein the power generation assembly is configured to generate electricity in response to a flow of a working fluid through the fluid circuit. Further, the system includes a bubble pump positioned within the wellbore that is configured to circulate the working fluid between the fluid circuit of the power generation assembly and the wellbore via a thermosiphon effect.

Liquid Transfer Apparatus
20230124263 · 2023-04-20 ·

A liquid transfer assembly includes a housing that has a supply port, a return port and a fill port each extending into an interior of the housing. A shut off valve is movably integrated into the housing and the shut off valve is movable between a first condition and a second condition. A trigger is movably integrated into the grip and the trigger is in communication with the shut off valve. The shut off valve is actuated into the second condition when the trigger is depressed. An inertial pump is movably disposed within the housing and the inertial pump is charged with a handle to pump a fluid in a first container into the second container when the trigger is depressed. A priming pump is integrated into the housing for priming the inertial pump when the priming pump is manipulated.

Locking Seat Pivot Ball Siphon Elbow
20170343018 · 2017-11-30 · ·

A siphon elbow for pivotally connecting a first pipe and a second pipe in fluid communication. A first elongated body has a bore extending therethrough and a partially spherical indentation within the bore. A second elongated body has a bore extending therethrough and a generally spherical extension on a first end that pivotally engages the partially spherical indentation of the first elongated body. An internal locking system is disposed in at least one of the bores and locks the second elongated body into an operating configuration in which an angle formed between the first elongated body and the second elongated body is less than 180-degrees. Pivoting of the second elongated body from an installation configuration in which the angle is approximately 180-degrees to the operating configuration activates the internal locking system.

20230175529 · 2023-06-08 ·

A sustained drain system circuit and a sustained drain quality control system are constructed in which no mechanical or electrical driving and control mechanism is required at all, siphoning automatically occurs when some volume of urine is retained in the urinary bladder by the mass of urine, its potential energy, intrinsic pressure of filling and contraction of the urinary bladder, and abdominal pressure, and sustained drain continues even with a portion with a height difference higher than a drain source. In the sustained drain system circuit, a fluid is caused to be sustainedly drained by siphoning from an intracorporeal elastic closed space that can extend and contract as a drain source. The circuit is a siphoning circuit in which an inner diameter of a pipe space is designed so that a siphoning volume condition is satisfied and the fluid is drained as filling without a gap.
