Electro-Expulsive De-Icing System For Aircraft And Other Applications
US Patent:
2013018, Jul 25, 2013
Filed:
Mar 8, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/790065
Inventors:
Ice Management Systems - Temecula CA, US
Mark Ronald Bridgeford - Alta Loma CA, US
Mark Ronald Bridgeford - Alta Loma CA, US
Assignee:
Ice Management Systems - Temecula CA
International Classification:
B64D 15/16
US Classification:
244134 D
Abstract:
An apparatus for removing ice from an object (e.g., in-flight ice removal from the skin of an aircraft) includes an actuator assembly that forms an elongated electrically conductive loop. The actuator is mounted in a position enabling it to impact the object to be de-iced in response to movement of the loop that is produced by electric current pulses flowing in opposite directions in two mechanically independent loop subassemblies. The loop subassemblies include multiple electrically conductive elements interconnected at their ends using elongated flexible connectors in order to introduce a physically discontinuity that reduces any restriction of relative movement of the subassembly ends caused by the connectors, thereby achieving enhanced operation and less fatigue failure as compared to a rigid structure having encapsulated element
