Two Different Compressors using a 'Uniport Valve'
  |
The primary purpose of this site is to promote a patented double acting valve, or 'Uniport Valve'. One application for this valve is the Dual Pressure Intake Engine.
This proposed engine cycle, which would most likely be used in large
stationary engines, helps improve an engine's thermal efficiency while
also increasing the specific power of the engine.Please explore more applications for the Uniport Valve where you will learn about other internal combustion engines that might use the Uniport Valve. There you will also find an animation of a reciprocating compressor that uses the Uniport Valve. A rather new addition to this site is a page that contains an animation of a multi stage compressor that has a complex induction cycle like the one for the 'Dual Pressure Intake Engine'.
The page promising products and companies tries to represent a wide range of ideas both new and old, high and low tech that can help us now and in the future to use energy more efficiently. There you will find two links regarding stirling engines. One helps show how easy it would be to replace a residential furnace with a stirling engine using the electricity produced to charge an electric car while using the waste heat for hot water and space heat.
In general, we shouldn't forget that we can more easily and more quickly reduce wasteful consumption of energy than we can find new sources of it. An example of this is how in ten years the demand for Oil used in the US transportation sector could be reduced by 96% over what it is today, by doing some very practical things. This may be a challenge. But it is better to accept a challenge than to count on bioenergy or some other replacement for Oil, that might not exist. There are many reasons we should not wait!
We can do many things now. People around the world benefit if we do. Since it is a world market, the price of energy world wide is inflated when it is wasted. And of course that means many do without.
