"A Marine Power Plant Assembly"

IP Approach is pleased to present the exclusive patent application for sale “A marine power plant assembly” which includes UK Patent Application GB 2598466 A assigned to Andras Vermes-Gabos. The IP relates to a apparatus and method, for moving a marine plant in and out of the water by means of it being attached to one end of link member in a manner allowing rotation around the longitudinal axis while the link member is enabled to pivot around an inclined axis at its other end.

The technology disclosed provides the following main advantages:

By adopting an inclined hinge around which a link element pivots the system allows movement of the operating unit (underwater plant/nacelle) from the underwater position to a service position close to the main vessel and out of the water. Maneuvering, towing is easier, inspection and maintenance of the operating unit can be carried out from a work platform above water.
It accomplishes the above by providing an improved hinge assembly whose layout and construction of the hinge is in two parts both aligned on the same axis.
The hinge allows the mechanical transmission of rotational force (torque) between the operating unit and the main vessel, thus making possible locating the generator(s) - in case of tidal power plants - on the main vessel.
It provides an improved assembly that utilizes props to stabilize the link element and operating plant in the operating position.
The system includes a movable/extendable access deck installed in a manner to avoid the path of the link element and operational unit serving as protection to nacelles while towing or berthing takes place and as a work platform for inspection and maintenance.

The Floating power plant market is estimated to grow from USD 9.3 billion in 2021 to USD 27.37 billion by 2031, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 11.4% during the forecast period.

The windmill blades are angled between 0 and 360 degrees in relation to the vertical axis to maximize alignment with wind direction.
The combined harvesting of wind, solar and ocean energy in one structure provides efficient and clean energy at a lower cost compared to conventional wind turbines, solar panels and ocean waves energy systems.
Lateral Area of a hemicylinder (not including base or ends) is greater than a flat surface of the same base dimensions by a factor of Pi/2.
The smaller radius of hemicylinders will result in small increase in thickness compared to a flat panel.
Multiple parallel hemicylinders running the length of each panel.
The pressurized inner chamber to utilize heat and pressure to make extra electricity is claimed, but not specifically running pipes of liquid or water which is obvious in the art.

The patent US 8,414,717 B2 relates to the method for low temperature heat treatment of an age-hardenable magnesium based alloys. The technology disclosed provides the following advantages,

Age hardening of magnesium based alloys can be effected at significantly lower temperatures than are typically used during conventional T6 ageing,
The tensile properties of most heat treatable magnesium alloys are limited compared to those of the currently used aluminum alloys, which is one of the main limitations for the wider application of magnesium alloys but the present invention includes a method to improve the tensile strength of magnesium alloys.
The enhanced ageing response typically comprises at least an improvement in both tensile strength and ductility.
The low temperature heat treatment is accelerated, resulting in improved mechanical properties, such as ductility, strength and hardness levels, comparable to or better than those in the T6 condition.
Fracture toughness of alloys can be also significantly improved through age hardening.
An increase in the heat treatment temperature and the change of GP zone type, size, morphology and density in general results in increase in tensile strength and hardness while the ductility and fracture toughness remain improved compared to the T6 condition.

The patent US 8,784,579 B2 relates to process of grain refining magnesium metal or magnesium based alloy which includes the step of providing a melt of magnesium alloy wherein melting includes grain refining agent like vanadium. The technology disclosed provides the following advantages,

The inventive vanadium grain refiner is applicable to all magnesium-based alloys and to both cast and wrought magnesium based alloys, particularly those where magnesium comprises more than 75 wt % (weight percent).
Presence of a trace amount of grain refiner like vanadium in the magnesium solid solution significantly improves the magnitude and kinetics of hardening during ageing.
Refining Agent like Vanadium used in this invention has a multiple beneficial effect on some alloys, which is not observed with grain refiners such as zirconium or carbon and carbon-bearing compounds. This makes vanadium a highly suitable and preferred choice as grain refiner even for magnesium alloys that have traditionally been grain refined by zirconium.
By using a grain refiner comprised of vanadium metal alone or vanadium metal in the combination with one or more alloying elements intended to be present in the magnesium alloy, it is possible to produce uniform grain size of cast alloys which is at least two times smaller than when the said grain refiner is not used, thereby significantly improving the mechanical properties of cast alloys and wrought products, particularly the tensile properties in the as-cast state.
