Dry pump boosting system
The object of this invention is to create the elements necessary to supply lifting energy in a flowline or different recipients containing motionless fluids. The invention provides a motive force through an artifact comprising an aerodynamic housing connected to a scroll case, having a rotor comprised of two concentric arrays of external and internal blades. To operate, the artifact requires a source of fluid supply acting as motive fluid to boost or induce movement to a static or relative slow-motion fluid. The movement of the motionless fluid is produced by the acting force of the internal blades. Movement of the external blades is induced by the motive fluid entering the scroll case. The present invention can be utilized in different locations onshore and offshore (Shallow and Deepwater) in different positions, in order to support the transportation of fluids. The invention can be manufactured in different sizes to fit the system requirements. It can operate with any fluid supply such as gas or liquid or a mix of both. The artifact only requires a source of another fluid to produce the educing effect on the one which is desired to transport. It does not require direct sources of electrical power.
LIQUID PROPANE INJECTION PUMP
A liquid propane injection pump assembly is disclosed. In one example, the liquid propane injection pump assembly includes a connection tee having first, second, and third openings. A first inlet structure can be connected to the first opening, a second inlet structure can be connected to the second opening, and an outlet structure can be connected to the third opening. The first inlet structure can include a nozzle with an external taper while the outlet structure can include a barrel with a tapered internal passageway into which the nozzle extends.
Air-driven generator
An air-driven generator for generating electric power from movement of a working fluid. Upper ends of buoyancy conduits are in fluidic communication with an upper end of a gravitational distribution conduit, and a lower end of the gravitational distribution conduit is in fluidic communication with lower ends of the buoyancy conduits. An air injection system injects air into the buoyancy conduits. A closed fluid loop is formed with working fluid flowing from the gravitational distribution conduit driving a fluid turbine system that is interposed between the lower ends of the gravitational distribution conduit and the buoyancy conduits. Flow of working fluid can be induced by an injection of air into working fluid disposed in the buoyancy conduits to achieve a generation of power by actuation of the fluid turbine system. An upper chamber can remove entrained air. A Rankin Cycle Generator can receive and be actuated by exhausted air.
Essential oils diffuser
An essential oils diffuser with a micro air pump providing between 500 and 1500 Pa of pressure with a consumption of between 0.2 and 1 Watts may be used to push air into essential oils or an essential oil solution to diffuse and expel the oils into the air, while keeping the oils away from the air pump, preventing the oils from shortening the life of the diffuser. The diffuser may include a power supply and a controller to regulate the operation of the diffuser.

GAS COMPRESSOR WITH EDUCTOR ASSEMBLY
A gas compressor comprising a substantially hollow cylindrical drum secured to a fixed shaft and configured to rotate a volume of fluid about a central axis. A plurality of eductors may be affixed to the shaft through support rods and positioned within an interior of the drum to receive a flow of fluid during rotation of the drum. A gas inlet along the fixed shaft comprises a channel through which gas external to the drum may be drawn into the eductors and compressed. Compressed gas accumulates within a central area of the drum and may be harvested through a gas outlet along the fixed shaft. Additional embodiments may comprise pitot tubes to manage a fluid level within the drum, and a cooling system to manage fluid temperature.

Combination structure for a hose connected between an air compressor and a tire
A combination structure for a hose connected between a tire and an air compressor is disclosed. The air compressor includes a box in which a compressor unit and a sealant bottle are installed. The sealant bottle has an inlet and an outlet. The inlet of the sealant bottle is connected to one outlet tube of the compressor unit. The hose has a first end and a second end. The first end of the hose is adapted to be connected to the outlet tube of the sealant bottle. The second end of the hose can be connected to the combination structure, which generally includes a cap, a core element, and a plug. With the combination structure, the chemical sealant contained in the sealant bottle can be prevented from flowing out to contaminate objects due to incorrect operation or negligence.

HIGH-EFFICIENCY AIRLIFT PUMP
This document describes a gas streaming device for use between an injection port and a mixing chamber within an airlift pump, and an airlift pump with the gas streaming device. The gas streaming device includes a planar plate with multiple holes extending therethrough, where the holes are dimensioned to direct the gas into multiple micro-streams for streaming air from the injection port into the mixing chamber. An airlift pump in combination with such a gas streaming device is useful for removing anomalously high concentrations of dissolved gas in a liquid. The increased efficiency for this invention may also enable this type of pump to be economic in other applications where it is desirable to lift a liquid or induce flow.
