Title: Renewable energy island constructed from interconnected cylinders
Inventor: SCHETRUMPF JOHN
IPC: F03B13/12
Filed: 2009-04-20
Abstract: A system incorporates wind, wave and tide powered water pumps to supply water to an array of interconnected vertical cylinders or silos. The water provided by these sources is stored in the cylinders until needed and is then used to drive a turbine and generator, which may be contained within a similar vertical cylinder. The cylinders may be arranged on a very large scale so that the structure has dimensions comparable to a small island, and may present a contoured upper surface to assist wind flow over the structure. The base of the cylinders may have openings to minimise restriction to water flow under the structure. The cylinders may be constructed in sections for ease of dismantling for repair or maintenance.

Patent GB-2458248-A (GB)
Title: Split body swelling packer
Inventor: KNIPPA JEFFREY L
IPC: E21B33/12
Filed: 2008-01-13
Abstract: A swelling packer system uses modules that can be joined together and mounted over a tubular using a vertical split that can be drawn closed with a tapered pin (28) in overlapping loops (18-20). The pins are circumferentially spaced apart as between adjacent modules. End (52, 50) rings can protect the modules for run in and act as extrusion barriers during and after the swelling is complete. The module ends can be overlapped in an interlocking fashion which allows multiple elements to be joined together to make a packer assembly as long as desired with any combination of swelling elements (32) in a single packer assembly. Optionally, interior grooves in the swelling material can hold split ring seals or o-ring type seals that are slipped over a tubular end before a module is clamped on. The sealing elements can be triggered with water or hydrocarbons or with other materials already in the wellbore or introduced to it or other surface or locally actuated triggers.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for the Manufacture of Metal Articles by Rotary or Centrifugal Means.
Inventor: WHITE ALFRED ERNEST
IPC: B22D13/02
Filed: 1918-06-20
Abstract: 127,746. White, A. E., (International de Lavaud Manufacturing Corporation). June 20, 1918. Casting - machines; m e t a l - pouring; castings, extracting; moulds.-In a centrifugal casting- machine, suitable for the manufacture of cast articles such as pipes, the rotary mould 10 can be moved lengthways of the trough 3 to expose the entire trough, or at least a half thereof. A charge of molten metal is poured into the trough at a point intermediate between its ends a n d preferably midway. T h e trough 3 is interchangeably journaled, at one end only, in a casting 2, and is rotatable to dump the charge by a hand-wheel 36 operating through gearing 34,35. The trough is built up of three linings 37, 38, 39 forming two jackets through which cooling-liquid, passes, entering by a tube 44 and openings 52 into the inner jacket 51, and leaving by openings 53 into, and an aperture 55 from, the outer jacket 50. The trough has a refractory lining 58. The mould 10 is cooled by liquid circulating under pressure through a jacket 95 of substantially the same length as the mould, the exits being of less area than the inlet to increase the cooling effect at the ends. Telescoping pipes conduct the cooling-liquid to and from the mould. The socket is moulded by a balanced member 25 supporting a core 31 by spring fingers 59 and having a bearing for receiving a pivot 9 on the trough 3. The mould 10 is journaled in antifriction bearings comprising an inner race 104 and an outer race 105 formed as overlapping L-sections and so arranged that movement of the races towards one another, on expansion of the mould, does not take place. The races 104, 105 are shaped to provide oil wells, which are cooled by the circulating water. The back and forth movements of the mould are effected by an hydraulic piston 83 and cylinder 77, which, by means of stops 88, 89 on the piston-rod 84, release and lock the member 25 through a rod 90, and by means of a stop 87 move the mould to uncover the trough. An extractor device for removing the pipe from the mould when the mould returns to cover the trough consists of radial gripper elements 65 movable outwards by a conical member 72, mounted on a flexible rod, so as to engage the interior of the pipe. The machine is adapted to be operated continuously, the made pipe being exposed and removed as the new pipe is being formed.
