WIND POWER GENERATION DEVICE FOR WINDOW TRIM FRAME
The disclosed invention relates to a wind power generation device for a window trim frame, the wind power generation device: enabling alignment and provision in a prefabricated manner so as to fit the size of a window trim frame or the window frame of a general house or a building such that the installation thereof is simplified; manufactured in a small size such that purchase and production costs are relatively lower than those of other power generation facilities and the like; and charging, with produced electric energy, a storage battery provided at the end thereof and, simultaneously, enabling a charging completion to be immediately checked, thereby easily being used.
IN-BUILDING IN-PIPE HYDRO-GENERATION SYSTEM
The utilization of hydro-generation technology is provisioned inside of water distribution systems within large urban buildings that require water pressure reduction. These micro-hydro-generators reduce the water pressure for tenant use and converts the energy into electricity to be used or sold.
Energy recovery device
An energy production device for a chargeable energy storage is arranged on a fluid conduit of an existing fluid circuit in a device through which a fluid flows. The fluid flow in the fluid conduit primarily serves a predetermined purpose different from that of the energy production device. The energy production device is arranged to produce energy from the kinetic energy of the fluid flow to charge the chargeable energy storage. A module insertable into the device may include the energy production device. The device may be a washer disinfector for processing medical instruments, systems and/or products that include at least one handpiece having a chargeable energy storage. The energy storage is configured as a rechargeable battery or as a power cell and is adapted to be processed together with the handpiece in the washer disinfector.
METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING ELECTRICITY FROM MOVING FLUID
In one aspect, a system for generating electricity based on water flow is disclosed. The system comprises a first pipe fitting, a turbine, and a second pipe fitting. The first pipe fitting couples to a pipe that supplies a fluid to a building. The turbine is in fluid communication with the first pipe fitting and rotates in response to a kinetic energy of the fluid supplied by the pipe flowing through the turbine, generates electricity in response to rotation of the turbine, and reduces a pressure of the fluid from a first pressure to a second pressure. The second pipe fitting couples the turbine to an input pipe of the building. The turbine further comprises a conversion circuit that conditions the generated electricity for consumption by the building and conveys the generated electricity to the building via one or more conductors.
AIR-COMPRESSION ENERGY-STORAGE AND POWER-SUPPLY SYSTEM HAVING AIR PURIFICATION CAPABILITY THROUGH USING SOLAR ENERGY
Disclosed is an air-compression energy-storage and power-supply system having air purification capability through using solar energy. The system includes: a solar energy power supply device, it utilizes solar energy to produce power for the system itself, and for users to use in daytime; an air purification device, with its exhaust fan connected to a transformer power distribution device to obtain the power for rotation, so that outside air flows into the air cylinder after filtering by the air filter, then the purified air is exited from the air cylinder to provide purified air; an air-compression energy-storage and power-supply device, used to compress the purified air into high pressure for storage, and the high pressure purified air is released at night, for the generator to produce power for user to use at night; and a wind power transmission device, disposed above the air purification device.

WATERSPARK CHARGING ASSEMBLY
A charging assembly includes a conduit assembly configured to be fluidly coupled with a pre-existing conduit through which a liquid flows, and a hydroelectric generator coupled with the conduit assembly such that at least part of the liquid flowing through the pre-existing conduit flows through the hydroelectric generator. The hydroelectric generator is configured to create an electric current based on flow of the liquid through the hydroelectric generator. The assembly also includes an energy storage assembly conductively coupled with the hydroelectric generator. The energy storage assembly is configured to store electric energy of the electric current created by the hydroelectric generator.
Sprinkler Deflector Head with Device to Machine Adjustment
A system and method to direct a communication from a user device to rotate a deflector guide located proximal to a sprinkler head. The sprinkler head rests on a sealed bottom ring comprised of a waterwheel, transformer, rotating slider, and D2M communications device. When water is deployed from the sprinkler head, the waterwheel inside the sealed bottom ring rotates to generate energy. This starts the communication device which maintains a D2M communication signal until the water is turned off. The communication device is managed by a user on a user device through a user interface. After communication signal is selected in the user interface of the user device, the deflector head responds to commands and pivots along a circular path. The deflector comprises an opening that limits the spray from the sprinkler head to a more limited range than if the deflector was not used. The user can adjust the spray pattern of the sprinkler head without manually adjusting the deflector guard and therefore the user is able to remain dry during the process.
Systems for collecting rainwater and recycling grey water
Systems for water collection and recycling are described herein. A downspout having a downspout groove is vertically disposed on an exterior wall. Electrical wiring that is operatively connected to at least one electrical power generator is disposed along the downspout groove. The downspout and electrical power generator are supported by downspout brackets. The downspout is fluidly connected to a gutter and an outdoor water storage tank for collecting rain water. A water pump moves grey water from a shower tub drainage pipeline to a water path switch valve. A control switch directs the water path switch valve to divert the grey water to a toilet storage tank, an outdoor water storage tank, or a washing machine water tank.
ROOFTOP EXHAUST COLLECTORS AND POWER GENERATORS, AND ASSOCIATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
An electrical energy generation system can include a housing, an electrical generator supported by the housing, a turbine operatively connected to the electrical generator, and a hollow frustum positioned in the housing and spaced apart from the turbine. The frustum can be configured to receive airflow via a lower opening and to direct the airflow toward the turbine with increased velocity. Another electrical energy generation system can include an electrical generator, a turbine operatively connected to the electrical generator, and an enclosed passageway configured to increase a speed of an airflow from an artificial source toward the turbine. The enclosed passageway can be positioned to support the turbine. The systems can include one or more baffle elements to straighten the airflow along a direction aligned with a rotational axis of the turbine. Electrical energy generation systems harvest waste or exhaust air from rooftop vent or fan assemblies.
