Assignee:
Oceana Energy Company - Washington DC
International Classification:
F03D 5/00
US Classification:
415 31, 415 43, 290 54
Abstract:
An apparatus for generating electricity from fluid currents comprises a continuous loop structure and at least one blade movably mounted relative to the continuous loop structure and extending in a direction radially outward relative to the continuous loop structure, the at least one blade being configured to rotate about an axis of the continuous loop structure. The at least one blade may be configured to interact with fluid currents moving in a direction approximately parallel to the axis of the continuous loop structure to rotate the at least one blade about the axis of the continuous loop structure. At least a portion of the least one blade may intersect a plane of the continuous loop structure that is substantially perpendicular to the axis of the continuous loop structure. Rotation of the at least one blade may generate electrical energy.

Ned Hansen - Hyde Park UT, US
Ned Hansen - Hyde Park UT, US
International Classification:
A63G001/30
US Classification:
472/034000
Abstract:
An elevating rotary amusement ride having a rotatable passenger carrying-arm which is initially in a substantially horizontal loading position to facilitate the rapid loading and unloading of persons desiring to utilize the ride. The rotatable passenger-carrying arm is elevated to a position at which the rotatable passenger-carrying arm can, indeed, be rotated. A variety of means are available for elevating the rotatable passenger-carrying arm, including gas-powered cylinders and electric motors. Similarly, many means can be utilized to rotate the rotatable passenger-carrying arm, with an electric motor being preferred. In some embodiments, the rotatable passenger-carrying is elevated beside one or more support structures; in other embodiments, the support structure or structures, themselves, move to achieve the elevation of the rotatable passenger-carrying arm.

International Classification:
A63G001/00
US Classification:
104/053000
Abstract:
A variably curved track-mounted amusement ride having at least one outside curve and at least one inside curve, each lying substantially within a vertical plane and each having an axis of symmetry which is substantially horizontal. Preferably, the top curve is an outside curve; and preferably inside and outside curves alternate with each other. Also preferably, before the first curve, between each outside curve and each inside curve, and after the last curve is a substantially straight segment which slopes downward. The vertical distance occupied by an outside curve is less than that occupied by an inside curve. The track can retain a cart which runs on the track no matter what the orientation of the body of the cart is with respect to the track. Any means that is well known in the art can be used to raise the cart to the beginning of the track.

Abstract:
A variably curved track-mounted amusement ride having, in a first embodiment, at least one outside curve and at least one inside curve, each lying substantially within a vertical plane and each having an axis of symmetry which is substantially horizontal. The vertical distance occupied by an outside curve is less than that occupied by an inside curve. The track can retain a cart which runs on the track no matter what the orientation of the body of the cart is with respect to the track. Any means that is well known in the art can be used to raise the cart to the beginning of the track. No portion of the track, except optionally the lowest level, lies directly below at least the farthest outside portion of an outside curve. A second embodiment has only outside curves.

Inventors:
Kent Davey - Edgewater FL, US
Ned R. Hansen - Hyde Park UT, US
Ned R. Hansen - Hyde Park UT, US
Assignee:
OCEANA ENERGY COMPANY - Washington DC
International Classification:
F03B 13/00
US Classification:
290 54
Abstract:
An energy conversion system may include a stationary structure, a rotatable structure configured to rotate relative to the stationary structure, wherein the rotatable structure defines an axis of rotation. The system may further include at least one blade member mounted to and extending radially outward from the rotatable structure, the at least one blade member being configured to interact with fluid currents flowing in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of rotation to cause the rotatable structure to rotate about the axis of rotation, and at least one bearing mechanism disposed to provide at least one of a radial and axial bearing between the rotatable structure and the stationary structure as the rotatable structure rotates about the stationary structure. The system may be configured to convert rotation of the rotatable structure to at least one of electricity and hydrogen production.

International Classification:
A63G001/00
US Classification:
104 53, 108 55, 108 61, 108 63, 297488
Abstract:
A restraint for retaining a person within a seat. The restraint has a lap bar and a shoulder bar which can be independently adjusted. The lap bar can be rotated either to retain a person or to permit a person to enter or exit. Also, the lap bar can be pulled farther away or pushed closer to a person. When extended completely, the lap bar will remain locked in such position until the lap bar is rotated toward the position a person will occupy. When pushed toward a person, the lap bar cannot be pushed farther away until a rod to which the lap bar is attached is released from a lock. The shoulder retainer is attached to a similar rod which is locked in this same fashion.
