Abstract: A wave energy converter (1) comprises a housing (2) extending between a forward end (3) and an aft end (4). Three upstanding air chambers (15) are located in the housing (2) and three corresponding water accommodating ducts (16) extend aft from the air chambers (15) and terminate in aft water accommodating openings (17) for accommodating water into and out of the air chambers (15) as the housing (2) oscillates by pitching in response to passing waves. An air accommodating duct (21) communicates with the air chambers (15) through a manifold (20) for accommodating air into and out of the air chambers (15) as the water level (19a) falls and rises within the air chambers (15) as the housing (2) oscillates. A self-rectifying turbine (22) located in the air accommodating duct (21) powers an electrical generator (24) for generating electricity. A buoyancy tank (31) is located on the housing (2) above the water accommodating ducts (16) aft of the air chambers (15) for maintaining the housing (2) floating in the water. A first stabilising plate (28) extending in a generally forwardly downwardly direction extends from a lower sloping portion (27) at the forward end (3) of the housing (2) for controlling the pitching oscillating motion of the housing (2) relative to wave motion for in turn enhancing the power output produced by the converter (1). A forward ballast tank (31) and a pair of second stabilising plates (30) extending upwardly from the housing (2) enhance the stability of the converter (1).

Abstract: A lift-type turbine comprising at least three blades at circumferentially spaced positions is supported for rotation about a vertical axis. Each blade has an airfoil shape to generate a torque about the axis responsive to wind across the blades. A support comprising cables under tension is connected between adjacent ones of the blades to extend generally circumferentially about the turbine. Accordingly a minimum number of parts form the structure of the blades while minimizing the drag produced during rotation thereof due to the support members lying in a common circumferential path. The tension of the support members can support the blades in a pre-stressed condition to optimize the shape and performance thereof.

Abstract: In hot ambient conditions (particularly in climates having strong sunshine) vehicle glazing panels can reach high temperatures frequently in excess of 50°C and on occasions up to 90°C plus. In such high temperature conditions it is a known problem that small glazing panel breaks or cracks can become elongated (or result in shattering of the glazing panel) when stresses are applied to the glazing panel. The invention provides a method of repairing a flaw (such as a crack or break) in a vehicle glazing panel by first, wetting the surface of the glazing panel in the vicinity of the flaw and then generating a forced air flow to enhance evaporation of the wetted glazing panel, and subsequently conducting a repair process on the flaw.
