Patent GB-2442424-A (GB)
Title: Waste water electrical power generating system
Inventor: CRIPPS JEFFREY L
IPC: E02B9/00
Filed: 2005-11-29
Abstract: An environmental protective electrical power generating system is formed by a penstock connected at its opposite ends to a large sewer for conveying waste water from feeder pipelines to a sanitary treatment station. Sewer waste water is propelled through the sewer line by pumping equipment which simultaneously pulverizes most large objects carried by the waste water. The waste water is diverted, through a control gate, into the penstock where it flows through and operates one or more water-operated turbines. The turbines are operatively connected to electrical power generators for producing electrical power and dispersing the power through an electrical power transmission system. Depending upon the size of the sewer pipes, the volume of liquid flowing there-through, and the turbine and generator equipment, electrical power is generated without affecting the environment or ecology and without the use of fossil fuels.

Title: Method and apparatus for the acceleration and manipulation of charged particles
Inventor: MACDONALD-BRADLEY CHRISTOPHER JAMES
IPC: H01J25/52
Filed: 2008-07-30
Abstract: A magnetic field B crosses non-uniform rotating electric radial fields which are generated between a central electrode A and a series of circumferential outer electrodes C1-C4. Synchronous charging and partial discharging is applied to the outer electrodes C1-C4, generating a rotating non-asymmetric field E. Charged particles may then be accelerated and held in a circular orbit, regulated by the magnitude and frequency of the charging of the electrodes, with a radius given by Bqwr = Eq + mw2r. The circular beam of particles so formed may be used for a variety of applications, which also includes fusion energy applications due to the high kinetic energy possible in the apparatus and the mechanism of energy recovery of scattered particles. Isotopic separation by charge to mass ratio is also possible, the device being essentially a cyclotron with radial electrodes. A four-state 'quad-stable' formed from four inter-connected NOR-gate based flip-flops is also disclosed which provides the logic sequencing for the control of the synchronous charging cycles for embodiments of the invention.
