Device For Supporting, Aligning, And Cooling A Solar Panel
US Patent:
2007020, Sep 6, 2007
Filed:
Mar 6, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/368108
Inventors:
Andrew Rose - Powell WY, US
International Classification:
F24J 2/38
US Classification:
126604000
Abstract:
A device for solar panels and method allows seasonal tilting by human assistance for changes in sun angle above equator, and unassisted daily positioning east to west to east. A primary support member is fixed to the back of a typical solar panel, generally from corner to corner along a line of balance. This support member is elongated and enabled for rotation, with attached panel by rotation sleeves or pivots. Extensions of the rotation sleeves in connection with two posts are positioned on a polar axis. The posts are solidly fixed in the earth or a base. The rotation sleeve covering the longer post, closest to the pole, is manually adjusted and secured to change the angle of the collector with the equator. Stops are provided. A linear actuator is pivotally attached at an edge or corner of the solar panel with the other end attached to a post, which is pivotally attached relative to the ground or base. An electric motor is powered by batteries to drive the linear actuator. Control of the motor is regulated by programmed activation in response to time of day as maintained by an on board clock. The panel tracks the sun and at change of day returns to a preset position. Cooling of the solar panel is provided with subsurface air via infiltration gallery and distribution channels. Air moves by convection or with auxiliary fan.
Tire Retread Apparatus
US Patent:
8171967, May 8, 2012
Filed:
Jul 24, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/509124
Inventors:
Andrew F. Rose - Powell WY, US
Assignee:
Composite Building Products, Inc. - Powell WY
International Classification:
B60C 27/20, B60C 27/12, B60C 11/02
US Classification:
152175, 152172, 1521851, 152187, 1522096
Abstract:
A device for extending the life of a tire and providing a new tread layer, principally for off road truck tires, has a mechanically attached surface tread of rubber blocks cooperatively connected with a cable system and specialized tensioning. The apparatus is generally suited to tires of very large size, typically used on dump trucks in open pit mining applications.
