Filed:

May 4, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/114774

Inventors:

NIcholas Holt - NEW YORK NY, US
Christopher B. Cooper - Brooklyn NY, US

Assignee:

SKIDMORE OWINGS & MERRILL LLP - New York NY

International Classification:

F24F 7/00

US Classification:

454237

Abstract:

A solar engine, which is vertically aligned along an interior portion of a building, is heated by solar radiation. The solar engine includes a warm air chamber at an upper portion of the solar engine and a hollow core positioned below the warm air chamber. Habitable spaces are positioned around the outside of the core toward an exterior of the building. Solar radiation on the warm air chamber creates a high temperature zone in the warm air chamber that induces a stack effect in which air rises through the core due to the lower temperatures in the core, and results in a negative pressure in the core. Air enters at a lower portion of the building and is pulled through the core by the solar engine. If the windows on the outside of the habitable spaces are opened, the negative pressure in the core causes passive cross ventilation from the outside of the building through the habitable spaces and into the core, where the air rises to the warm air chamber and then out of the building. This allows the habitable spaces to be naturally cooled and ventilated with no energy costs. Solar radiation may be directed into the warm air chamber and core using a reflector at the top of the building. One or more wind turbines and generators positioned around the top of the core convert the moving air from the core into electrical energy to power the building.

Appl. No.:

13/934704

Inventors:

Thomas Craig Masterman - Brookline MA, US
Christopher Cooper - Rehoboth MA, US
Jihan Khan - Cambridge MA, US

International Classification:

C07D 307/68

US Classification:

435136, 435161, 549498, 549503, 549506, 549429

Abstract:

Biomass feedstocks (e.g., plant biomass, animal biomass, and municipal waste biomass) are processed to produce useful products, such as fuels. For example, systems are described that can convert feedstock materials to a sugar solution, especially, xylose, which can then be chemically converted to furfural and furfural-derived products.

International Classification:

C08F 110/02

Abstract:

Bio-based ethanol, such as ethanol produced from lignocellulosic materials, for example, is processed to produce bio-based ethylene, which can then be processed further to produce other bio-based materials including bio-based polymers and copolymers, including bio-based polyethylene, bio-based α-olefins, bio-based 1,2-diols, as well as other compounds.
